Safety precautions

Safety precautions regarding high voltage/mains voltage:
Very high voltages occur in electrical systems. Voltage flashovers from damaged parts (marten damage etc.) or
physical contact with live components pose the risk of an electric shock.
• Use only electrical leads with a protective earthed contact.
• Use only genuine manufacturer's cable harnesses.
• Regularly inspect cables and the power supply unit for any damage.
• Always connect the earth lead from device to vehicle first
• Do not carry out any installation work, such as connecting the instrument or replacing components, when
ignition is on.
• When working with ignition turned on, do not touch any live parts.
Safety precautions regarding the risk of asphyxiation:
Carbon monoxide is produced when the engine is running. If inhaled, this will lead to an oxygen deficiency in the
blood (potentially fatal).
• Ensure that workshops are adequately ventilated.
• Always connect and switch on the exhaust gas extraction system when the engine is running.

Safety precautions regarding the risk of burn injuries:

When the engine is running, certain components become very hot (up to several hundred degrees C°).
• Always use safety equipment (protective gloves, etc.).
• Do not lay connecting leads near hot components.

Safety precautions regarding explosion hazard:

Work on the fuel system gives rise to a fire- and explosion hazard through petrol fumes:
• No naked flames
• No smoking.
• Ensure that the room is well ventilated.

Safety precautions regarding the risk of injury:

When the engine is running, injuries may arise from rotating parts (fan blades, belt drives, etc.). If the vehicle is not
prevented from rolling away, you could be trapped by it.
• Keep the hands well clear of rotating parts when the engine is running.
• Prevent the car from rolling away unintentionally (handbrake).
• In the case of automatic vehicles, also set the selector lever to P position.
• Do no lay connecting leads near rotating parts.
Safety precautions regarding noise:
To prevent hearing defects, take the following measures:
• Protect workstations in the vicinity of the testing stations against noise.
• Use noise insulation equipment.
Safety precautions: Caustic injuries:
If the LCD display is damaged, the risk of caustic injuries will arise through the escape of crystal fluid. Wash any
parts of the body or clothing immediately with water (consult a doctor).
• Consult a doctor immediately if the fluid has been inhaled or swallowed.
