The capacitors are discharged, by short circuit the two contacts. In addition use the cone end of an isolated
screwdriver.
8.5.2 Checking the Capacitors
ATTENTION! Before working (installation) on the System read the
section „Safety Instructions“ in this Manual.
Do not check the capacitors whilst the generator motor is running! Charged capacitors can be lethal. Do not contact
the capacitors with bare fingers or non-insulated metallic objects! In order to test the capacitors, the terminal lead
wires have to be disconnected using pliers or a screwdriver with insulated handle(s). Once the wires have been
removed, the capacitors must discharged by bridging the capacitor terminals together with a slot screwdriver with an
isolated handle.

The capacitors can be checked using a normal multimeter with a continuity beeper. Check that the multimeter
„beeps“ when the selector is set to continuity and the end probes are contacted together.
