2.4 Safety Instructions on Electrics
When performing works on the electrical system of the vehicle, you need to disconnect the power supply of the
vehicle for safety reasons. Switch off the battery master switch. If there is no switch or if you want to perform
welding works on the vehicle or works in the vicinity of the battery, you need to disconnect the battery.
The battery may represent a danger due to electrical currents, short circuit with high current, leaking battery
acid or an explosion. This could result in severe burns or corrosion. Always take the battery in and out of op-
eration properly.
When removing and installing the battery, the following precautions must be observed:

provided for this purpose.
•
Connect the POSITIVE terminal first and then the
