appropriately with commissioning charge. Please observe the operating
manual of the charger and the operating manual of the battery manufac-
turer, which are enclosed with each Li-Ion battery. Minuteman assumes no
liability for battery damage resulting from insufficient commissioning
charge.

1.5 Information about special risks
Magnets
There is a magnet in the area of the solution tank and the waste water tank.
Warning! Magnets can affect the function of pacemakers and implanted
defibrillators.
• If you have such a device, keep a minimum distance of 80 mm to the
magnet.
• Warn people with a pacemaker and implanted defibrillator not to approach
magnets.
Caution! Magnets generate a far-reaching, strong magnetic field that can
damage credit cards, debit cards, mechanical watches and hearing aids.
• Keep objects that can be damaged by strong magnetic fields away from
the magnet.
Electrical system
• If the electrical system is faulty, always turn off the machine and eliminate
the fault.
• Work on the electrical system may be done only in accordance with
electrical engineering standards by a specialist trained for this work.
• Regularly inspect/check the electrical system of the machine. Defects such
as loose connections, loose nuts of electrified bolts, electrical components
or damaged cables must be eliminated immediately.
• Only use original fuses with the specified current. If stronger fuses are
used, the electrical system can be destroyed and there can be fires.
