Battery Handling Precautions
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. This will disable the vehicle by disconnecting the battery pack from the motor. It
does not disable the battery pack. HIGH VOLTAGE will be present at the battery terminals and
contactor. HIGH BATTERY VOLTAGE IS ALWAYS PRESENT. DO NOT TOUCH THE BATTERY
TERMINALS.
• Always make sure that all 12-volt electrical accessories are grounded directly to the
negative (-) post on the terminal board. Never use the chassis or body as a ground
connection. See page 72.
• Make sure vent caps are installed properly and securely during vehicle operation and
battery charging.
