10.4 Accessing main electrical panel

Access must be gained to the main electrical panel - Fig. 3 B when performing any of the following:

•Checking the alarm status LED.

•Connecting the hand terminal to the transistor regulator.

•Checking / changing any of the fuses.

•Checking / changing any of the components mounted on the panel.

•For inspection of the traction motor or hydraulic unit.

NOTE!

Before removing the electrical panel ensure the key switch [S17] is off and the charger’s mains plug is neither plugged into the start interlock [S170] or any mains outlet socket. For maximum safety it is advisable to also remove the negative connection from battery [G2].

•Remove the screws securing the main cover (Fig. 3 A) and lift the cover free of the truck.

•Remove the two securing screws holding the main electrical panel in place (Fig. 3 B).

•Lift the panel vertically approx. 1 cm.

•The upper edge of the panel can now be lifted away from the truck and the panel can be “folded out”. The panel can now be positioned allowing it to “rest” in the folded out position.

•Ensure no undue strain is put on any cables in the wiring loom.
