CAUTION
Risk of component damage!
If you disconnect the battery male connector while
the key switch is switched on (under load), an arc is
produced. This can lead to erosion at the contacts,
which considerably shortens their service life.
– Switch off the key switch before disconnecting
the battery male connector.
– Do not disconnect the battery male connector
while the key switch is switched on, except in an
emergency.
– Park the truck securely.
– Ensure that work areas are adequately
ventilated.
– Open any protective structures fully (e.g.
fabric-covered cab).
– Open the battery door completely.
