The knife switch in the picture most likely is for the chassis battery some owners install it to prevent the battery from going dead in a few weeks of non use. The house batteries have their own disconnect at the 12 volt distribution panel. The disconnect solenoid is controlled by the switch just inside the entry door on the left. I thought the drawing I posted showed the disconnect solenoid, it doesn't. It's behind the front panel and is black plastic. I have a picture of mine, I'll see if I can find it.

I can't find the picture of the solenoid. If you need it I can take another one. If you look behind the 12 volt distribution circuit board you will see the interconnect relay and the house disconnect solenoid.

You can go to Power Gears web site and download more information on your jack system.
Technical Documents - Power Gear
You can also email their tech support and ask them for help.
