SAFETY

Repair and Service Manual

Read all of Section A and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings.

B

If repairs are to be made that will require 

welding or cutting, the batteries must be 

removed.

Additional Warnings

Before working on the electrical system, be sure to read 
and understand the following warnings that pertain to 
the electrical system repair or maintenance.

To prevent explosion that could result in 

severe personal injury or death, keep all smok-

ing materials, open flame or sparks away from 

gasoline and batteries.

Hydrogen gas is generated in the charging 

cycle of batteries and is explosive in con-

centrations as low as 4%. Because hydro-

gen gas is lighter than air, it will collect in 

the ceiling of buildings necessitating proper 

ventilation. Five air exchanges per hour is 

considered the minimum requirement.
Be sure that the key switch is off and all 

electrical accessories are turned off before 

starting work on vehicle. 
The batteries should always be removed 

before any servicing or repairs that will gen-

erate sparks.
Never disconnect a circuit under load at a 

battery terminal.

Batteries are heavy. Use 

proper lifting techniques 

when moving them. Always 

lift the battery with a com-

mercially available battery 

lifting device. Use care not 

to tip batteries excessively when removing 

or installing them; spilled electrolyte can 

cause burns and damage.
The electrolyte in a storage battery is an 

acid solution which can cause severe burns 

to the skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte 

spills to the body and eyes with extended 

flushing with clear water. Contact a physi-

cian immediately. 

Always wear a safety 

shield or approved safety 

goggles when adding water 

or charging batteries. 

Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized 

with a solution of 1/4 cup (60 ml) sodium 

bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 1/

2 gallons (6 liters) of water and flushed with 

water.
Overfilling batteries may result in electrolyte 

being expelled from the battery during the 

charge cycle. Expelled electrolyte may 

cause damage to the vehicle and storage 

facility.

Wrap wrenches with vinyl 

tape to prevent the possi-

bility of a dropped wrench 

’shorting out’ a battery, 

which could result in an 

explosion and severe personal injury or 

death.
Aerosol containers of battery terminal pro-

tectant must be used with extreme care. 

Insulate metal container to prevent can 

from contacting battery terminals which 

could result in an explosion. 

ALL accessories that do NOT use the accessory wiring
harness MUST be connected to draw from the entire 48
Volt battery pack. The Operational Performance Guaran-
tee of 2 rounds per day shall be void in non-factory acces-
sories that use more than 1 Amp/Hour of energy per
round are installed on the vehicle.
