General information
– The KTM Freeride E is a high-voltage electric motorcycle with a lithium-ion
battery (KTM PowerPack, 260 V).
– The high-voltage components in the vehicle are identified by yellow warning
labels.
– The high-voltage cables in the motor housing and in the KTM PowerPack can
be identified by the orange color of their insulation.
– Before beginning work on the vehicle, switch off main switch
1
to the
right of the handlebar and ignition lock

The intrinsic safety of the high-voltage system of the vehicle cannot be
determined from the outside.
Using suitable high-voltage protective equipment, the vehicle must be
de-energized by removing the KTM PowerPack (high-voltage battery).
The following steps must be performed by persons with high-voltage
training only!
1. Switch off main switch
1
and ignition lock

Version 3: Vehicle fire
– Contact the fire rescue service and inform them that a vehicle with a lithi-
um-ion battery is on fire.
– In the event of a vehicle fire, the usual regulations for low-voltage systems
apply.
– If the KTM PowerPack was affected by the fire, the extinguishing and cool-
ing process may take up to 24 hours. The surroundings must be protected
accordingly.
– To cool a burning KTM PowerPack, use large quantities of water.
– When using branch pipes and water as an extinguishing agent, maintain a
safety distance of
1 m for spraying and 5 m for a full jet of water.
