Electrical system
•
When working on the electrical system, always disconnect the
battery (negative terminal).
•
Only use the prescribed fuses. If fuses are used that are too
highly rated, the electrical system will be destroyed – risk of fire.
•
Ensure that the battery is connected correctly - firstly connect the
positive terminal and then connect the negative terminal. When
disconnecting the battery, disconnect the negative terminal first,
followed by the positive terminal.
•
Always place the appropriate cover over the positive battery
terminal. If there is accidental earth contact, there is a risk of ex-
plosion.
•
Risk of explosion. Avoid sparking and naked flames in the area
of the battery.
•
The machine may be equipped with electronic components
whose function is influenced by electromagnetic interference
from other units. Such interference can pose risks to people, if
the following safety information is not followed.
ο
If retrofitting electrical units and/or components on the ma-
chine with a connection to the on-board power supply, the
user is responsible for checking whether the installation
might cause faults on the vehicle electronics or other com-
ponents.
ο
Ensure that the retrofitted electrical and electronic compo-
nents comply with the EMC directive 2004/108/EC in the
appropriate version and bear the CE mark.
