Information
Handling high-voltage lines:
- Do not support yourself or your tools on high-voltage lines and their components.
- Work involving metal-removing, deforming and sharp-edged tools close to high-voltage components and lines is prohibited.
- Work involving heat sources such as welding, soldering, hot air and thermal bonding close to high-voltage components and lines is prohibited.
- High-voltage lines must not be extensively bent or kinked.
- High-voltage lines (screwed connections) have 5 mating cycles. If these 5 mating cycles are exceeded, a visual inspection of the high-voltage connectors must be performed. Then contact Technical Support.
- In the event of queries or uncertainties, consult the relevant high voltage technician.
- Observe warning notes.
