tenance-free.
♦ Belt tensioner components must not be opened or repaired;
always use new parts.
♦ Belt tensioner units which have been dropped to the ground
must not be installed.
♦ Belt tensioner units with mechanical damage (dents, fractures)
must always be renewed.
♦ Belt tensioner units should be installed immediately after re‐
moving them from their packaging.
♦ If work is interrupted, belt tensioner units should be put back
in their packaging.

5.6.3 Working on vehicles with belt tensioners
WARNING
Belt tensioners which are triggered mechanically and do not
have a belt-fastened sensor (triggering lock) must be removed
before beginning any cutting, straightening and/or dent remov‐
al work. In the case of belt tensioners which are triggered
electrically the battery earth strap must be disconnected.
Note
When the belt is fully retracted, the belt-fastened sensor (trigger‐
ing lock) will prevent the belt tensioner (mechanical triggering)
from being activated in an accident.
WARNING
In the case of belt tensioners with belt-fastened sensor, the belt
must NOT be pulled out during cutting, straightening and/or
dent removal work. Before performing any cutting, straighten‐
ing and/or dent removal work involving severe vibration, belt
tensioners with belt-fastened sensor must also be removed.
