Installing the main battery relay

NOTE: After the installation of the main battery relay and switching off using the inner/outer EMERGENCY STOP switch, the work instructions after disconnecting the battery must be observed. Refer to WORK INSTRUCTIONS AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY . The battery may discharge if kept at a standstill for relatively long periods in the Racing track status with the EMERGENCY STOP switches actuated.

The main battery relay is installed to the right of the battery (in conjunction with a battery of maximum 60 Ah). Fasten using the hexagon-head bolt M 8 x 16 enclosed in the delivery scope (tightening torque 23 N.m (17 ftlb.)).
