41 00... Handling Electrical And Electronic Equipment

1.0 Battery 

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

2.0 Control units 

• The following risks exist when the battery is connected:
  • Damage to control units resulting from welding work on the body or a line short circuit.
  • Accidental activation of airbags during straightening work on the body.

Because of these risks the battery negative lead 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 against effects of heat >65°C (e.g. during welding and drying work with an infrared radiator or hot air blower).

3.0 Electrical wires and wiring harnesses 

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

4.0 Optical fibres 

• Follow instructions for handling optical fibres  . See 6100... NOTES ON HANDLING OPTICAL FIBRES or .
