OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 40 E Operation
Battery main switch
The battery main switch is located under a lockable hatch (arrow, Fig. 2-25:) beside the batteries and the tool box. The battery main switch disconnects the whole electrical system from the batteries. In the OFF position, the battery main switch protects
! the machine against unauthorized starting of the engine
! the batteries against inadvertent discharge
Only the automatic fire-extinguishing system (optional equipment) remains connected to the power supply even when the switch is in the OFF position.
The two switch positions shown in Fig. 2-26: have the following meaning:
I = ON
II = OFF
In the OFF position, the battery main switch handle can be withdrawn.
Never set battery main switch to OFF when the engine is running to avoid destruction of electrical components by voltage peaks.
