41 00 ... Handling electrical and electronic equipment

1.0 Battery

- Explosion hazard in the vicinity of the battery during welding and grinding work. The battery must be removed.

2.0 Control units

- The following risks exist when the battery is connected:
- Damage to control units resulting from welding work on the body or a line short circuit.
- Accidental activation of airbags during straightening work on the body.

Because of these risks the battery negative lead must be disconnected prior to all repair work.

- Control units are designed for a temperature of 65 °C. The temperatures in a spray booth do not pose any problems. If a vehicle is in the spray booth at a displayed temperature of 80°C, the actual temperature of the vehicle is ≤ 60 °C (object temperature).
- Protect control units against effects of heat >65 °C (e.g. during welding and drying work with an infrared radiator or hot air blower).

3.0 Electrical wires and wiring harnesses

- Protect electrical wires and wiring harnesses against damage (e.g. during straightening and grinding work).
- Protect electrical wires and wiring harnesses against effects of heat >65 °C (e.g. during welding and drying work with an infrared radiator or hot air blower).
- Do not kink electrical wires.

4.0 Optical fibres
