You will need to take steps during the design and development of your end product to ensure
that its EMC performance complies with applicable regulations; see Appendix B for suggestions
on managing EMC.
The Curtis 1310 Vehicle System Controller contains ESD-sensitive components. Use appropriate
precautions in connecting, disconnecting, and handling the controller. See installation
suggestions in Appendix B for protecting the controller from ESD damage.

Working on electrical systems is potentially dangerous. You should
protect yourself against uncontrolled operation, high current arcs, and
outgassing from lead acid batteries:
UNCONTROLLED OPERATION — Some conditions could cause the system to
run out of control. Disconnect motors, open valves and jack up the vehicle to get
the drive wheels off the ground before attempting any work on vehicle control
circuitry or software.
HIGH CURRENT ARCS — Batteries can supply very high power, and arcing
can occur if they are short circuited. Always open the battery circuit before
working on the system electrical circuit. Wear safety glasses, and use properly
insulated tools to prevent shorts.
LEAD ACID BATTERIES — Charging or discharging generates hydrogen gas,
which can build up in and around the batteries. Follow the battery
manufacturer’s safety recommendations. Wear safety glasses.
