connector or terminal, insulate it immediately
using insulating tape. Before disconnecting or
touching a bare high-voltage terminal, wear
insulated gloves.

leakage. If you find any liquid, it may be
strong alkaline electrolyte. Wear rubber
gloves and goggles and neutralize the liquid using a saturated boric acid solution or
vinegar. Then wipe up the liquid using waste rags etc.
10. If the electrolyte comes into contact with your skin, wash the skin immediately using a
saturated boric acid solution or a large amount of water. If the electrolyte adheres to any
article of clothing, take the clothing off immediately.
11. If the electrolyte comes into contact with your eye(s), call out loudly for help. Do not rub
your eye(s). Instead, wash the eye(s) with a dilute boric acid solution or a large amount
of water and seek medical care.
12. With the exception of the HV battery, remove parts by following procedures which are
