5-4 Self-maintenance
Precautions on Self-maintenance
In case of self maintenance, you must follow
the correct procedures in this section.
It is important to note that any incorrect or
incomplete maintenance may cause
malfunctions of the electric vehicle.
This section only gives explanations for
maintenance operations that can be easily
carried out by yourself. Some items must still
be maintained by qualified technicians with
special tools.
It is important to avoid any accidents or injury.
Please observe the following special tips.
Tips
●
When the motor is running, you must
keep your hands, clothes and tools
away from the running fans. (It is best
to remove items such as rings,
watches and neckties.)
●
The motor in the motor compartment,
DC-DC, motor controller and radiator
are very hot immediately after the
vehicle has been running. Be careful
and do not touch them, nor the liquid in
the pipelines.
●
If the motor is very hot, do not take
down the radiator cover or unscrew the
drain plug to avoid burning.
●
Do not leave any flammable material in
the motor compartment such as paper
or cloth.
●
If you are working near an electric
cooling fan or radiator grille, you must
confirm that the power switch has
been turned off. When turning on the
power switch, if the temperature of the
motor coolant rises and/or turning on
the air conditioner, the electric cooling
fan of motor will start running
automatically.
●
Handle the storage battery with special
care, as it contains poisonous gas and
corrosive sulfuric acid.
●
The car shall only be lifted by a jack.
Do not crawl under the car; lift it with
car lifting jack or other firm braces.
●
No matter whether operating on the
top or bottom of the vehicle, you must
use eye protection to avoid dust and
splashes of fluid getting into your eyes.
●
Used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants which may
cause dermatitis or skin cancer. Be
careful not to keep prolonged and
repeated contact with used engine oil.
Skin should be washed with soap and
water, to remove any used engine oil
thoroughly.
