Operator Safety
Precautions During Maintenance
WARNING! The voltage in the battery pack is
sufficient to cause death by electrocution. With
the exception of battery inspections and refilling
the water in flooded type batteries, never attempt
to perform service on the electric drive system,
including the battery pack, unless you are
properly trained to work on electrical systems.
Your authorized GEM dealer can provide battery-
related service.
WARNING! Do not work in or near the battery
compartment or on any other electrical
component of the vehicle while charging the
batteries.
WARNING! Before servicing the vehicle's
electrical system, always disconnect the main
power connector first, then disconnect any
electrical accessory connections, then
disconnect the negative cable from the 12-volt
battery (if equipped), then disconnect the
negative terminal from the main battery pack.
See page 53.
Always follow all safety instructions in the
maintenance portion of this owner's manual, as
well as the following:
• Make sure the vehicle is properly immobilized
before beginning any maintenance.
• Always block the chassis securely before
working under the vehicle.
• Turn the key off and remove it from the vehicle.
• Insulate any tools used within the battery area
to prevent sparks or battery explosion caused
by shorting the battery terminals or wiring.
Remove the batteries, or cover the exposed
terminals with an insulating material.
