Electrical System

Batteries
The electrical system operates on 12 volts. To
provide a 12 volt supply with sufficient current, two
12 volt batteries have been used in parallel. This
means that like polarity terminals have been joined.
• Before carrying out any repairs to the electrical
system turn the battery isolator switch to the 'off '
position. The battery isolator is located on the
bottom of the brake pod which is located on the
right hand chassis rail.
• When welding connect the ground terminal
directly to the part being welded and ensure that
the batteries are disconnected. Disconnect any
electronic controls such as the engine controller,
transmission controller and the spray controller.
• When welding on the sprayer ensure, If fitted, that
all weed seeker controllers are totally removed
from the sprayer.
Battery Isolator
The battery isolator switches power flow from the
batteries to the sprayer. The switch is a 250 Amp
unit. The isolator switch cut all power to the sprayer
except for the radio back up power. The isolator
switch must be isolated when the sprayer is not
in use to prevent battery leakage or power faults.
The isolator switch is situated on the bottom of the
brake pod which is located on the right hand chassis
rail.
NOTE: The battery isolator is not an Emergency
stop. The isolator key should only be removed after
more than 30 seconds from stopping the engine, so
data can be written and saved to the ECU.

Battery Jumper
The battery jumper points are located on the brake
pod. These points are connected to the terminals
on the battery. When charging the batteries or jump
starting another vehicle:
• Switch the engine off.
• Switch off the battery isolator switch.
• Connect the positive jumper lead to the positive
battery jumper point.
• Connect the negative jumper lead to the negative
battery jumper point.
Electrical Components
The Electrical control panel is located in the side
console on the right of the operator's seat. These
panels contain fuses and relays to activate the
sprayer circuitry. To gain access to the panels the
console lining must be removed by releasing the
latches on top of the cover and pulling it forwards.
These boxes control various relays, diodes and fuses
to operate a number of electrical circuits through
out the sprayer. The layout of the fuse boxes can be
seen in the Chapter 4 'Cabin'.
When a fault occurs, the fuses will blow and
disconnect the circuit. If a fuse has been blown
identify the corresponding device and investigate the
cause before reconnecting the new fuse.
The fuses have been placed in the system to protect
the system against electrical faults. When a fuse is
replaced it is important that the fuse is replaced with
another fuse of the same rating.
