RISK OF DEATH CAUSED BY CONTACT WITH PARTS CONDUCTING HIGH VOLTAGES. - AS00.00-Z-0020-01A

Do not touch parts which conduct high voltages. Persons who wear electronic implants (e.g. heart
pacemakers) must not perform any work on such components.

Risk of death caused by electric shock

Electric shocks can cause fibrillation of the heart or even cardiac arrest. The effects of an electric shock may
sometimes first appear after several minutes have gone by; for this reason always seek medical attention.

Safety instructions/precautions

Persons who wear electronic implants (e.g. heart pacemakers) must not carry out any work on such
components.



Do not touch parts which conduct high voltages.



When working on such components, for example:



connecting and disconnecting electrical components



replacing parts



connecting test equipment

it is first of all necessary to disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
