Auxiliary Power Posts

The auxiliary power posts are a convenient way to connect remote auxiliary fuel pumps for in-field filling of an M1170
windrower fuel tank, trickle charging or maintaining a battery charge.
IMPORTANT:
The auxiliary power posts are NOT meant for continuous duty. Remote fill pump motors have a high gallons per
minute (GPM) rate, and most models can fill an M1170 fuel tank within 10–15 minutes.
IMPORTANT:
The auxiliary power posts are NOT to be used as battery boost posts. Boosting a battery from these posts can result in
blowing the auxiliary power posts' positive terminal fuse.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure the device being connected to the power posts has an
amperage rating less than that of the maximum fuse rating listed
on the auxiliary power posts' decal (A). 30 Amp loads and smaller
are recommended as anything larger may blow the fuse if the
device has a high in-rush current characteristic.
