Incorrect Insertion of Charger DC Plug
PLUG AND RECEPTACLE
The charger cord, plug, and receptacle are wear items and should be inspected daily. Visually inspect them for cracks,
loose connections, and frayed wiring; they must be replaced when worn or damaged. If charger plug or receptacle
show signs of corrosion or the plug is difficult to insert or remove, the receptacle contacts and plug terminals should
be cleaned with a good electrical contact cleaner or lightly sprayed with WD-40
®
brand spray lubricant. The plug
should then be inserted and removed several times to ensure ease of insertion, ease of removal, and good electrical
contact.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
If the warning tag has been damaged or removed from the DC cord, have it replaced immediately.
RECEPTACLE FUSE LINK
As an additional feature to protect the batteries and charging circuit from an overload, the electric vehicle is equipped
with a receptacle fuse link
(Figure 19)
. If the charger does not come on when the vehicle is placed on charge,
visually inspect the fuse link.
See following WARNING.
WARNING
• If the receptacle fuse link is blown, determine the source of the problem and correct it before replacing
the fuse.
• Never modify wiring to bypass the gray sense lead fuse (Figure 19).
