2 SAFETY
DANGER! Life-threatening electric shock from damaged components or short circuit.
Bridging the battery poles causes a short circuit that results in a flow of electrical current. A short cir-
cuit of this type should be avoided under all circumstances. For this reason, please follow these
instructions
•
Use insulated tools.
•
Do not place any tools or metal components on the battery modules or the APU.
•
Always remove watches, rings and other metal objects when working with the batteries.
•
Do not install or operate the battery system in explosive or areas with high humidity.
•
When working on the storage system, first switch off the charge controller, then switch off all volt-
age supplies to the battery and the APU and ensure that they cannot be switched on again.
DANGER!
Possible chemical burns and poisoning due to electrolyte or poisonous gases in the case
of damage to battery modules.
During normal operation, no electrolyte can escape from the battery and no poisonous gases can
form. Despite careful design, damage to the battery in the event of a fault can result in escaping elec-
trolyte or small concentrations and quantities of toxic gases, organic solvent gases and hydrofluoric
acid:
•
Do not subject the battery module to violent impact.
•
Do not open, disassemble or mechanically alter the battery module.
In the event of contact with electrolyte, immediately wash the affected area with water and promptly
seek medical advice.
