	The demagnetizing coil presents a lethal hazard for persons with active electronic implants (e.g. heart pacemakers).	Persons with such electronic implants should not work with the demagnetizing coil or remain in the vicinity when such work is being performed.	AS82.85-Z-0001-01A
1	Connect demagnetizing coil to line power in workshop		*WH58.30-Z-1004-09A
	Demagnetizing tires
2	Hoist vehicle to demagnetize tires	After hoisting move shift lever to idle position or selector lever to position "N". Release parking brake.
3	Press button on demagnetizing coil, demagnetize tire tread and bead	During the demagnetizing operation never switch off the demagnetizing coil. Hold demagnetizing coil directly in front of tire tread and slowly turn wheel by hand 360° (1 wheel rotation). Then move demagnetizing coil outward to tire bead, circle tire bead 10 to 20 times with wheel stationary and then continue to move coil in circular motion while moving away from tire approx. 1 m
	Demagnetizing following welding work
4	Press button on demagnetizing coil and demagnetize area welded	During the demagnetizing operation never switch off the demagnetizing coil. Circle area welded 10 to 15 times with demagnetizing coil in then continue to move coil in circular motion while moving away from welding point approx. 1 m
5	Press button on demagnetizing coil and demagnetize vehicle roof on left and right in area of electronic compass	Circle left and right vehicle roof 10 to 15 times with demagnetizing coil and then continue to move coil in circular motion while moving away from vehicle roof approx. 1 m
	Completing demagnetization
6	Separate demagnetizing coil from line power in workshop
7	Calibrate compass	Models 140, 210.037 with APS Model 210 as of 01.06.96 and retrofitted, Diagnosis Manual, Volume 3 Model 140 H with ICS: Diagnosis Manual, Information/ Communication, Volume 3 - 10.1 ICS	AR82.61-P-7451A
