// ACCESSORIES COMPARTMENT
Accessories compartment
The accessories compartment is located on the left side of the
, behind the cabin. Its primary function is to hold the
low-voltage components. The low-voltage components
function on both 12V and 24V. No high voltage is running
through the master disconnect switch. The master disconnect
switch deactivates the high voltage battery contactors.
The following can be found in the accessories compartment:
• Master disconnect switch (low and high voltage)
• Two low-voltage batteries
• Fuse box
