Safety Instructions concerning the installation
The system components should be installed by your shipyard or by a
specialist.
Use adequate working clothes if you install the system yourself. Avoid
loose clothing that may be caught by moving parts. Use a hair net if you
have long hair. Clothing and hair can be caught by moving or rotating
parts.
Remove all metallic or electrically conductive jewellery, such as chains,
bracelets, rings, etc. when working on the on-board electronics.
Disconnect the minus polarity at the battery before starting work to pre-
vent the risk of short-circuiting. Short-circuiting can cause cable harn-
ess fires, battery explosions and damage to other electronic systems.
Please note that all volatile electronic memories will lose their contents,
and will have to be re-programmed if you disconnect the battery. The
VDO instruments are not equipped with volatile memories.
Risk of explosion! Run the engine compartment blower for a certain time
before starting work in a gasoline engine compartment.
Check that there is enough space behind the instrument installation ope-
ning. Pre-drill the opening and complete the opening with a keyhole saw
(respect the safety instructions of the hand tool manufacturer).
When selecting the location for the sending unit check that no stringers
will be damaged and similary furniture, floor boards, cables, etc.
Solvent vapours can be produced by the sending unit sealant. Provide
sufficient ventilation. Respect the instructions of the sealant manufactu-
rer.
