More Legal Bull:
Blah, blah, blah, waffle, waffle,
waffle, legal jargon that no-one reads and doesn't mean anything anyway; you still
get sued, blah, blah. Of course, I don't take any responsibility for the actions
of those who read this.
I assume no responsibility for loss, injury or
death, of either yourself (or others!) while attempting to build/use any of the
projects or ideas mentioned on my site. The same goes for loss or damage due to
running code downloaded from this site (though I do check my files regularly for
viruses etc.)
Safety:
Your safety is of
course, your concern but please be careful and exercise due caution. Common senses
will tell you whether to attempt something or not. If you buy a MIG welder through
the post like I did, you'd better read the operating instructions/cautions. Also
remember that as shorting out a traction battery can cause a rather spectacular
explosion. Follow some simple advice I picked up from the EV guys in the US -
Tape your wrenches! Ensure that the spanner that you use to tighten your
battery terminals with has one end sheathed in insulation tape!
When working
on a Prius, as a minimum - remove the orange Service Plug and place it in your pocket.
Rubber gloves are a good idea too. Review and follow the guidelines published by
Toyota for their technicians.
