General Instructions
Do not open unit or fuel cartridges. Do not use force to
open cartridges and do not refill them. Any modifications
to the unit may affect safe operation, will lead to a loss of
license and will void the guarantee. Use only original
EFOY equipment.
Do not store unit and fuel cartridges at temperatures
above 45° C. Do not operate at temperatures above 40°
C. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight.
Store the unit where there is no danger of freezing, or
use the automatic antifreeze feature.

cartridges.
Keep away from heat and open flame.
There is a danger of fire if methanol leaks out following
an accident, or if the unit or the fuel cartridge has been
damaged. Keep away from open fire and make sure area
is well ventilated. Small amounts of methanol which may
leak out will evaporate without leaving any residue.
Keep unit and fuel cartridges (including empty or
partially filled cartridges) out of children’s reach.

Installation should be carried out by trained personnel
only. Wear proper work clothes. Avoid flowing garments
and wear a hair net if you have long hair. Clothing and hair
can get caught in moving or rotating parts such as in a
drill.
Be sure to leave enough space behind the installation area
when drilling or cutting out openings. Also be sure to
follow the tool manufacturer’s safety instructions.
Solvents used in sealants may emit fumes. Make sure that
there is sufficient ventilation and follow the instructions
for the sealing compound.
Electrical installation work should be done by a licensed
electrician only.
All electrical lines must be adequately insulated and
protected with proper fuses.
Bare wires and contacts are not permitted.
Use the wire harness (included) to connect the unit.
Check the polarity (see illustration) before connecting the
unit.
Both sensor and power lines must always be connected.
Always use separate lines for charging and for voltage
metering to the battery. Otherwise, the flow of current will
cause false readings.
