• Possible damage to electrical or control systems from incorrect wiring or short circuits.
• Engine failure and potentially dangerous situations during forklift operation.

Precautions

• Use only modules that meet the manufacturer’s specifications (model, wiring, pin configuration).
• Install/remove only with engine off and ignition off; use insulated tools and gloves.
• Check contacts and insulation before installation; avoid dirt and damage.
• Connect cables as per the manual; avoid mechanical stress and short circuits.
• Use over-current/short-circuit protection and secure fitting to prevent sparking.
