41 00... Handling Electrical System And Electronics

1.0 Battery 

• Explosion hazard in the vicinity of the battery during grinding work. The battery must be REMOVED .

2.0 Control units 

• Control units with visible mechanical damages and/or electrical damages caused by accidents must be replaced.
• The following risks exist when the battery is connected:
  • Damage to control units or line short circuit.
  • Accidental activation of airbags during repair work on the body.

Because of these risks the ground cable must be DISCONNECTED prior to all repair work.

• Control units are designed for a temperature of 65 °C. The temperatures in a spray booth do not pose any problems. If a vehicle is in the spray booth at a displayed temperature of 80°C, the actual temperature of the vehicle is ≤ 60 °C (object temperature).
• Protect control units from influence of heat >65 °C (e.g. drying work with an infrared beam or hot air blower).

3.0 Electrical wires and wiring harnesses 

• Protect electrical wiring and wiring harnesses against damage (e.g. during grinding work).
• Protect electrical wiring and wiring harnesses from influence of heat >65 °C (e.g. drying work with an infrared beam or hot air blower).
• Do not kink electrical wiring.

4.0 Optical fibres 

• Follow instructions for handling OPTICAL FIBRES .
