MAINTENANCE
Batteries
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.
Battery posts, terminals and related components contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known
to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Always wash your hands after touching or handling the
batteries.
Charging a damaged battery can result in serious injury. Never attempt to charge a frozen or bulging
battery. Discard the battery appropriately and install a new battery.
