General Safety Guidelines
EL-50332 EV/HEV Battery Service Tool
3.3 An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could re-
sult in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord
must be used, make sure:
a. that the pins on plugs of the extension cord are the
same number, size, and shape as those of the plug
on the EV/HEV Battery Service Tool;
b. that the extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition;
c. that the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere
rating of EV/HEV Battery Service Tool as specified in
the table.
4. Grounding
4.1 The plugs and receptacles have dedicated grounding
terminals and must be mated with plugs and receptacles
having matching grounding terminals

5. EV/HEV Battery Service Tool Location
IMPORTANT:
The EL-50332 GM EV/HEV Battery Ser-
vice Tool is designed for indoor use only!.
It is the responsibility of the operator to provide a controlled
environment for the equipment. Work tents are a common
method of protecting equipment in adverse conditions.
The EV/HEV Battery Service Tool depends upon the surrounding
air for cooling. The free flow of air is important as is the air
temperature. The EV/HEV Battery Service Tool must be mounted
so that air can freely circulate all around it.
5.1 Do not place combustible materials on or near the EV/HEV
Battery Service Tool or mount the EV/HEV Battery Service
Tool closer than 3 inches from any adjacent wall. The EV/
HEV Battery Service Tool must never be mounted next to
or above heat generating equipment.
5.2 Locate the EV/HEV Battery Service Tool as far away from
the battery as the cables permit.
5.3 Never place the EV/HEV Battery Service Tool directly above
the battery being charged; gases from the battery will cor-
rode and damage the EV/HEV Battery Service Tool.
5.4 Only operate the EV/HEV Battery Service Tool in a well-
ventilated area that is free of dangerous vapors.
5.5 Store the EV/HEV Battery Service Tool in safe, dry location.
6. DC Connection Precautions
6.1 All switches should be set in the OFF position and AC cord
should be DISCONNECTED from electrical outlet before you
connect the output cables. If the auxiliary 12 VDC input is
used, it should be disconnected from the power source.
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause death or serious
personal injury.
Setting the switches to “OFF” does not always
disconnect the EV/HEV Battery Service Tool
electrical circuit from the AC power cord.
