Installing battery module  
Special tools and workshop equipment required  
♦ High-voltage tool kit -VAS 6762-  
♦ Torque wrench -VAS 6883/1A-  
♦ contact protection -T10608-  
♦ double cartridge gun -VAS 5237-  
♦ lifting tackle -3033-

DANGER  
Danger to life from high voltage.  
Electric shocks or arcs may lead to serious injuries or death.  
– Suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) must be  
worn for the subsequent work steps.  
– The subsequent work steps must be supervised by an  
additional specialist with appropriate qualification.  
– Outside the hazard area, the additional authorised special‐  
ist can support the HVE as required within the scope of his  
or her qualification.  
Put on protective equipment before performing the following  
work steps:  
♦ Clothing approved for working with electric arcs (minimum  
protection class 2, at least 318 kJ).  
♦ Helmet with visor approved for working with electric arcs  
(minimum protection class 2, at least 318 kJ)  
♦ Gloves approved for working with electric arcs with nitrile  
glove liners (minimum protection class 2, at least 318 kJ),  
minimum insulating effect up to 500 V  
♦ Safety shoes with ESD protection  
Installing battery module  
– Check whether separating foil -2- is present on removed  
battery module and if it is damaged.

– Stick separating foil -2- onto inner edges of battery housing  
(bottom section) -1-.  
– Clean surfaces on which 2-component thermal grease is to  
be applied using cleaning solution ⇒ Electronic parts cata‐  
logue (ETKA).  
– Insert template -T10606- -A- in battery housing (bottom sec‐  
tion) and slide it on in direction of -arrows- to position shown.  
– Ensuring that bubbles are not formed, fill in 2-component  
thermal grease using double cartridge gun -VAS 5237- -C-  
up to edge of template -T10606- -B-.  
– Carefully remove template -T10606- -B- from battery hous‐  
ing (bottom section).
