DANGER: 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.
