AS15.10-Z-0001-01A Risk Of Death Caused By Contact With Parts Conducting High Voltages.

Danger!
Do not touch parts which conduct high voltages. Persons who wear electronic implants (e.g. heart pacemakers) should never perform any work on the ignition system





Risk of death caused by high voltages in the ignition system
Electronic ignition systems operate within a hazardous power range both at the low voltage side (primary circuit) as well as on the high voltage side (secondary circuit). Contacts with such parts can result in burns, heart flutter or cardiac arrest.

Safety instructions/precautions
- Persons with heart pacemakers must not perform any work on the ignition system.
- Switch ignition off before commencing any work on the ignition system.
- Do not touch or dismantle components of ignition system when working on running or rotating engine with cranking speed.
- Wear safety shoes (with rubber soles).
- Detach the crankshaft position sensor connection either at the control unit or at the position sensor.
- Do not install any electrically conducting, uninsulated adapters or installation sensors into the ignition cable.

First aid measures
^ Switch off current, move injured person to safety.
^ Immediately notify an emergency physician.
^ Perform mouth to mouth respiration, if necessary.
^ Perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, if necessary.
