Restrain long hair by wearing an appropriate head cover.
Operate roller dynamometers only within the prescribed capacity limits.
Ensure that all persons remain outside of the hazard zone of rotating wheels, shafts and dynamometer
rollers when the dynamometer is in or ready for operation.
During testing, the driver's seat may only be vacated in case of emergency.
When not in use, protect roller dynamometers from unauthorized use by locking the main switch.
If the roller dynamometer used has an integrated workpit, the pit must be sealed off after use.
RISK OF DEATH CAUSED BY CONTACT WITH PARTS CONDUCTING HIGH VOLTAGES. - AS00.00-Z-0020-01A
Do not touch parts which conduct high voltages. Persons who wear electronic implants (e.g. heart
pacemakers) must not perform any work on such components.
Risk of death caused by electric shock
Electric shocks can cause fibrillation of the heart or even cardiac arrest. The effects of an electric shock may
sometimes first appear after several minutes have gone by; for this reason always seek medical attention.
Safety instructions/precautions
Persons who wear electronic implants (e.g. heart pacemakers) must not carry out any work on such
components.
Do not touch parts which conduct high voltages.
When working on such components, for example:
connecting and disconnecting electrical components
replacing parts
connecting test equipment
it is first of all necessary to disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
RISK OF DEATH CAUSED BY COMING INTO CONTACT WITH COMPONENTS OF A 220 V SYSTEM - AS00.00-Z-0021-
01A
Do not touch voltage conducting parts in of a 220 V system
Risk of death caused by electric shock
Risk of death caused by coming into contact with electrical parts of the 220 V system. Electric shocks can cause
fibrillation of the heart or even cardiac arrest. It may also take several minutes for the consequences of an
electric shock to show themselves; for this reason
always contact a doctor.

Electric shock or direct body contact with a power source can lead to burns or scalding.
Safety instructions/precautions
Never connect the 220 V power supply to an outside socket during any repair work.
Do not touch any conductive parts of the 220 V system.
Before beginning any work always:
Disconnect the 220 V system
Ensure that the 220 V system cannot be reactivated
Ensure that no voltage is present
Ensure that the parts you are working on are grounded and short circuited
All repair work should be performed only by a trained electrician or under the direction and supervision of a
trained electrician.
Persons who wear electronic implants (e.g. heart pacemakers) must not carry out any work on such
components.
When performing any repair work on the 220 V system, proper insulated protective clothing must be worn and
insulated tools and protective devices must be used as per the safety regulations.
Observe country-specific regulations.
First aid measures
The shocked person must be immediately removed from the electric circuit.
Use protective gloves and a wood board or a wood ladder to push or move the shocked person out of the danger
zone.
First attempt to turn off the power.
Check for breathing. If there is no breathing or insufficient breathing, the preferable action is to perform
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If necessary, carry out CPR.
If victim is unconscious, but breathing, place victim in the recovery position.
Sterile bandages for burns.
If any of these symptoms occur, consult a physician immediately.
RISK OF DEATH CAUSED BY WORK PERFORMED ON LIQUEFIED GAS SYSTEMS - AS00.00-Z-0022-01A
Before commencing any work, ensure that all sources of ignition have been eliminated. Wear protective

clothing, safety gloves and eye protection
Potential risks
Risk of death
Risk of explosion caused by liquefied petroleum gas leaking out of the system in closed rooms or when gas the
tank is overheated due to work being done.
Risk of burn injuries caused by explosions.
Risk of frostbite to skin and body parts caused by liquefied petroleum gas spraying out and by coming into
contact with components that are near the valve when the tank is being emptied. Risk of poisoning or risk of
suffocation caused by inhaling liquefied petroleum gas.
Safety instructions/precautions
Wear protective clothing, safety gloves and eye protection
Keep suitable fire extinguishing equipment at hand
Keep any flammable materials and objects away from the equipment
Avoid making any sparks
Perform a fire check of the surroundings after work has carried out
Never perform work in closed rooms
Before commencing any work, ensure that all sources of ignition have been eliminated. Ensure adequate
ventilation of the immediate area around the vehicle.
Adequate ventilation means an exchange of air at least 3 times an hour at a distance of 3 meters from the gas
shutoff valve.
Close the gas shutoff valves at the compressed-gas tanks before commencing repair work.
Close off gas tank valve if vehicle is to remain in closed rooms, e.g. in halls or garages, for longer periods of
time.
Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by specially trained personnel.
Due to the fact that explosions can occur when the gas system has leaks, a leak test must be performed before
restarting the system after repairs have been done in which the pipes and lines of the gas system have been
opened.
In the Federal Republic of Germany, this leak test can only be performed by specially trained DVFG personnel
as per the DVGW Work Sheet G 607.

(DVGW - German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water)
Observe country-specific regulations.
First aid measures:
Move the victim out of the risk area.
If eyes are affected immediately and thoroughly wash out eyes (making sure that eye lids are open) with plenty
of clean water.
If skin is affected drench with water. The victim must be kept warm and calm.
If inhaled , and if drowsiness, headaches, visual problems or irritation of the eyes, nose and throat occur,
remove victim to fresh air. Place unconscious victims in the recovery position and check for breathing and
pulse. If there is no breathing or insufficient breathing, the preferable action is to perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. If necessary, carry out CPR.
For any of these symptoms immediately call a doctor.
