Servicing the electrical system
WARNING
Electric shock hazard.
►
Always disconnect the battery before working on the electrical system if tools, spare parts, etc. with electrical components or contacts could touch it.
Electric shock and burn hazards.
►
Do not clean sensitive electrical components
(instrument panel, alternator, compact plug, multi-function lever, etc.) with a high-pressure cleaner.
►
Do not touch incandescent lamps and headlight reflectors with your fingers if the bulbs have been illuminated.
Have malfunctions in the electrical system corrected by trained specialized personnel.

Fuse allocation
The electrical circuits of the wheel loader are fused to prevent damage from short circuits and malfunctions. The fuses are located in the fuse box on the left side of the steering
column (Fig. 79).
NOTICE:
If an electrical device fails to respond to a control movement, stop the wheel loader as if stopping at the end of a work shift and check the fuse for that circuit. If the fuse has failed, determine the cause of failure and repair the cause.
Insert a new fuse of the specified rating and return to work.
Do not continue work with a failed fuse.
Do not install a fuse with a higher rated capacity than the failed fuse. This can result in serious damage to the electrical circuit.

Battery
WARNING
Explosion and burn hazard.
Batteries produce and vent gases that can be explosive if concentrated in an unventilated space.
► Do not smoke or use open flames near a stor
age battery.
►
Do not place objects on the battery. If a metallic object such as a wrench contacts both the positive and negative post on the battery, it will cause a direct short and a possible explosion.
Severe burns can result .
►
Cover the battery with protective insulation, or remove the battery entirely, if service work is to be conducted near the battery.
WARNING
Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
► Prevent battery fluid from coming into contact with your skin, eyes, mouth, or clothing.
►
Wear protective gloves and safety goggles.
► If battery fluid contacts skin, immediately rinse the contaminated area with plenty of clean water and seek medical treatment.
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE
Avoid environmental damage.
Dispose of old batteries in an ecologically sound way, separate from other waste.
The battery has a nominal voltage of 12 volts; the battery capacity is 77 Ah. The battery is located in the rear carriage
of the loader (Fig. 80). To access it, tilt up the rear plate. To
do this, unscrew the two eye nuts of the towing equipment
Item a (Fig. 80).

Servicing the battery
Refer to the operator’s manual for the battery. The operator’s manual for the battery is attached to the side of the
battery item 2 (Fig. 81).
•
Always keep the terminals on the battery and on the connecting cables clean and lubricate them with anticorrosion grease.
•
Make sure that the protective cover of the positive ter-
minal is always in place and closed item 3 (Fig. 81).
•
Note the battery indicator lamp. The indicator lamp is
located on the top of the battery item 4 (Fig. 81):
-
Green - battery charge is OK
-
Black - battery needs to be charged
-
White - battery needs to be replaced.

WARNING
Personal injury hazards.
Do not open the operator’s platform if the engine is
running. Follow the instructions in Section 10.7.1,
pages 150-151, for tilting the operator’s platform.
Always follow the correct sequence when disconnecting the battery.
– Disconnecting:
First the negative pole and then the positive pole.

Removing the battery:
1. Stop the loader on a horizontal surface and set the parking brake.
2. Lower the loader lift arms and attachment to the ground or work surface.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Before disconnecting the battery, switch off all electrical controls (and the battery disconnect switch) and remove the starting key.
5. Unscrew the ring nuts of the towing equipment Item a
(Fig. 80).
6. Lower the rear plate.
7. Loosen the negative battery cable clamp and remove the clamp from the post. Position the cable so it is not touching the machine. Wrap an insulating material around the conducting part of the cable clamp to eliminate the risk
of electrical shock (Fig. 82).
8. Remove the protective cover to gain access to the cable clamp bolt. Loosen the positive battery cable clamp and remove the clamp from the post. Position the cable so it is not touching the machine. Wrap an insulating material around the conducting part of the cable clamp to
eliminate the risk of electrical shock. (Fig. 82).
9. Remove the battery support retaining bolts, item 2
(Fig. 82).
10. Remove the battery with the lifting aid incorporated in
the battery identified as item 3, Fig. 82. If the battery
does not have an integral lifting aid, use a special strap that fits over each pole and provides a means to remove the battery.
Install the battery following the steps in the reverse order.

Jump-starting / emergency starting
WARNING
Explosion and burn hazard.
Batteries produce and vent gases that can be explosive if concentrated in an unventilated space.
► Do not smoke or use open flames near a storage battery.
►
Do not place objects on the battery. If a metallic object such as a wrench contacts both the positive and negative post on the battery, it will cause a direct short and a possible explosion. Severe burns can result .
►
Cover the battery with protective insulation, or remove the battery entirely, if service work is to be conducted near the battery.
► If a second machine or vehicle is used as the jump start battery source, ensure that the vehicles/machines do not touch.
►
Do not attempt to jump start a frozen or defective battery. A short circuit or rapid increase in heat within the battery can cause an explosion.
►
Do not connect two batteries in series (negative post to positive post) because the voltage output will be 24 volts and damage the electrical system of the wheel loader.
►
Use only jump-starting batteries with the same voltage.
►
Use serviceable jumper cables with a heavy duty 12 volt rating.
►
Lay out the jumper cables so that they cannot be struck by rotating engine parts.
W L18
Before jump-starting, check if the loader‘s dead battery is functional:
1. Switch off all the loader‘s electrical controls.
2. Switch the starting key to position 1 (operation). The warning lights must light up now!
3. If the warning lights do not light up, the battery is defective. In that case, the loader must not be started! Install a new replacement battery.

4. Switch off all electrical controls on the vehicle with the good battery and stop the engine.
1. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and let it run at an increased speed.
2. Attempt to start the loader engine.
3. If the engine does not start after 15 seconds, wait one minute before trying again.
4. Once the engine has started, let both engines continue to idle with the jumper cables connected for about another two minutes.
Connect the jumper cables
(The correct sequence must be adhered to)
1. Connect the red jumper cable Item r (Fig. 83) to the
positive pole of the dead battery Item L.
2. Connect the red jumper cable to the positive pole of the
charged battery Item v (Fig. 83).
3. Connect the black jumper cable Item s to the negative pole of the charged battery.
4. Connect the black jumper cable to the negative pole of the dead battery.
Detach the jumper cables
(As with connecting, follow the correct sequence):
1.
Disconnect the black jumper cable first from the nega
tive pole of the dead battery and then from the negative pole of the charged battery.
2.
Disconnect the red jumper cable first from the positive pole of the charged battery and then from the positive pole of the dead battery.
