Securing the vehicle
NOTE: Damage to the high-voltage batteries (which is extremely
dangerous) can be recognised from the following criteria:
– deformation and/or leaks of the high-voltage battery housing.
– the high-voltage battery becomes excessively warm;
– the presence of smoke, noises or sparks;
Don’t
– Never work on the vehicle if you haven’t performed the “Emergency shutdown
procedure” and allowed the vehicle to set for ten minutes.
– If at all possible, never cut or remove the orange high-voltage cables.
– If at all possible, never cut into or open the Inverter, electric motor/generator or the
battery packs or any of the other high-voltage components.
In case of a fire
Do's
– Always assume the vehicle is powered up when you approach the electric vehicle.
– In case the electric vehicle is damaged, wear electric insulating gloves until it has
been determined that the high voltage has been shut down.
– Always perform the 'Emergency shutdown procedure' and allow the vehicle to set
for ten minutes before work on the electric vehicle.
– Always be aware of a chemical reaction resulting in a fire of the high-voltage
batteries when they are damaged and/or leaking.
In these cases, wear face protection.
NOTE: Once ignited a high-voltage battery burns whit great intensity
and high temperatures.
As a result of the materials used and the high temperature, a burning
high-voltage battery is difficult to extinguish. As long as the temperature
is high the high-voltage battery tends to re-ignite.
To extinguish a high-voltage battery fire extreme amounts of water or
special fire extinguish equipment are needed. This to get down the
temperature and prevent the high-voltage battery from re-igniting.
Don’t
– Never work on the vehicle if you haven’t performed the “Emergency shutdown
procedure” and allowed the vehicle to set for ten minutes.
– If at all possible, never cut or remove the orange high-voltage cables.
– If at all possible, never cut into or open the Inverter, electric motor/generator or the
battery packs or any of the other high-voltage components.
In case of a submerged vehicle
Pull the vehicle out of the water. If the high-voltage installation is damaged or
disconnected, there is risk of electric shock from touching the body or chassis in or out
of the water.
Do's
– Always assume the vehicle is powered up when you approach the electric vehicle.
