Precaution to be observed when dismantling the vehicle
•
To prevent electric shock, wear insulated gloves when working on wire harnesses and components
of the high voltage system.
Before using insulated gloves, be sure to check them for cracks, tears and other types of damage.
•
When servicing the vehicle, do not carry metal objects like mechanical pencils or rulers that can be
dropped accidentally and cause a short circuit.
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, make sure to remove the service plug grip to cut off the high
voltage circuit before servicing the vehicle.
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, make sure to wait at least 10 minutes after removing the service
plug grip to fully discharge the high voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.
•
Do not touch any high voltage wire harnesses, connectors or parts with bare hands.
•
Do not touch the terminals of the service plug grip.
•
Make sure to insulate the high-voltage connectors and terminals of the traction battery assembly
with insulating tape after removing them.
•
After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accident
ally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
•
Before touching a bare high-voltage terminal, wear insulated gloves and use a tester to make sure
that the terminal voltage is 0 V.
•
Electrolyte leaks may cause acute poisoning if a high concentration of the vapor from the electrolyte
is inhaled. In case of inhalation, move the affected person to a place with ample fresh air and let
them lie quietly. Seek medical care.
•
If the electrolyte comes in contact with your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and plenty of
water, and seek medical care. If the electrolyte comes in contact with an article of clothing, take it
off immediately. Prolonged contact with the electrolyte may cause skin irritation.
•
If the electrolyte comes in contact with your eyes, call out loudly for help. Do not rub your eyes.
Immediately flush them with a large amount of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical care.
•
If electrolyte is swallowed, seek medical care immediately. Do not induce vomiting, unless
instructed by the doctor.
•
If the vehicle catches on fire, use an ABC fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire.
Trying to extinguish a fire using only a small amount of water can be more dangerous than effective.
Use a substantial amount of water or wait for firefighters.
•
Do not allow any foreign matter or water to enter the traction battery assembly.
Necessary Items
•
Protective clothing such as insulated gloves (electrically insulated), rubber gloves, helmet, safety
goggles, safety shoes and SCBA or protective mask.
•
Insulating tape such as electrical tape that has a suitable electrical insulation rating and insulation
tool set.
•
An electrical tester that is capable of measuring DC 750 Volts or more.
