3.1.1. General Safety Precautions
• The MT-HV is exclusively intended for use on a vehicle. It is a precondition for the use of the MT-HV that the user has
knowledge of automotive technology and is therefore aware of the sources of danger and risks in the workshop and
on motor vehicles.
• An additional country-specific qualification is mandatory for performing high-voltage measurements.
• Please read the entire operating instructions thoroughly and, where necessary, the mega macs X user manual before
using the MT-HV.
• All notes apply which are given in the individual sections of the MT-HV operating instructions and in the user docu-
mentation of the mega macs X. All the symbols on the MT-HV and the following measures and safety precautions
shall also be observed.
• Furthermore, pay attention to all general instructions from labour inspectorates, trade associations and vehicle man-
ufacturers as well as all laws, legal ordinances and instructions which have to be commonly obeyed by a repair shop.

• Protect the MT-HV and all connecting cables from hot parts.
• Protect the MT-HV and all connecting cables from rotating parts.
• Regularly check all connecting cables/accessory parts for damage (destruction of the MT-HV due to short circuit).
• Only use approved test prods and high-voltage test leads.
• Regularly and prior to every application, check the test prods and high-voltage test leads for damage (visual inspec-
tion).
