Danger!: Danger of poisoningContact with engine oil, antifreeze and fuel can result in dam-
age to health. Therefor:
- Avoid skin contact with engine oil, fuel and antifreeze.
- Remove oil and fuel splashes and antifreeze from the skin immediately.
- Do not inhale oil and fuel vapours.
ATTENTION!: Danger to Life - High voltageDanger for Life. Improper handling, operation, installation and
maintenance can result in severe personal injury and/or mate-
rial damage.
Electrical voltages above 48 volts (battery chargers greater than 36 volts)
are always dangerous to life). The rules of the respective regional authority
must be adhered to. Only an electrician may carry out installation of the elec-
trical connections for safety reasons.
Warning!: Hot surface/materialGenerator, oil and antifreeze can be hot during/after operation.
Risk of severe burns.
Instruction!: Personal protective equipment nec-

damages at the load.
8.3 Tools and measuring instruments
In order to be able to manage disturbances while driving, following tools and measuring instruments should
belong to the equipment on board:
• Multimeter for voltage (AC), frequency and resistance
• Measuring instrument for inductance
• Measuring instrument for capacity
• Current absorbing clamps
• Thermometer (ideal is a infrared thermometer)
• Pressure device (pincer) for coolant circuit
