You might want to consider placing the disconnect switch on the ground side of whatever type setup you have. If the engine is running and you have your disconnect switch on the hot side, the generator/alternator will probably allow the engine to continue even after turning the disconnect switch off. If the disconnect switch is on the ground side, if you turn it off it will kill a running engine. Mine is currently on my negative (hot side), but I am moving it and changing to the positive ground.
