before disconnecting or reconnect-
ing the battery;
–

–
always
wait at least one minute after
the engine has been switched off

–
m
ake sure that you reconnect the

The engine may be hot when car-
rying out operations in close prox-
imity. In addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of serious injury.
Special procedures may be
required to charge some
