Safety Information
NOTE: Certain warnings may be repeated throughout this manual.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, remove all jewelry such as watches,
necklaces, and earrings. Remove all metal objects that are conductors of electricity.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, ALWAYS approach the vehicle from the sides
whenever possible to stay out of potential travel path. It may be difficult to determine if the vehicle is
running due to lack of engine noise.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, or damage to property, remove any charge
cable from the vehicle, turn ignition OFF, set parking brake, and install wheel chocks to prevent vehicle
from moving in either direction during further action.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, do not touch the high-voltage system or any
ORANGE device without wearing appropriate high-voltage Personal Protection Equipment (PPE). The
PPE should include:
a.
Class 0 electrical insulating gloves, safety goggles, and Electrical Hazard (EH) rated safety shoes
or boots, which must be at least appropriate up to 1000 volts.
b. A non-conductive object, about 5 ft (1.5 m) long, to safely push someone away from the vehicle
if they accidentally come in contact.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, turn OFF the 12V disconnect switch and
high-voltage disconnect switch before interacting with a damaged vehicle.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, ALWAYS REMEMBER the 12 Volt Battery
Disconnect Switch only disables the vehicle 12 volt system, NOT the high-voltage battery system.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, ALWAYS REMEMBER that turning OFF the
high-voltage disconnect switch will not dissipate voltage inside the high-voltage batteries or in level
2 or 3 high voltage cables. ALWAYS ASSUME the high-voltage batteries, high-voltage cables, and
high-voltage components remain live and dangerous. Contact with the high-voltage battery pack or
high-voltage component internals may result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, handle a submerged vehicle with appropriate
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE). Consider the entire vehicle as energized.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, always wear full Personal Protection
Equipment (PPE), including Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) when fire is involved. Fires
in crash-damaged electric vehicles could emit toxic or combustible gasses. Small amounts of eye,
skin, or lung irritants may be present. If exposed, rinse with large amounts of water for 10-15 minutes.
Consider the entire vehicle as energized.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, NEVER cut or attempt to breach high-voltage
batteries, high-voltage components, or high-voltage wiring.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, pay attention to secondary fire events. Even
days later secondary fire events cannot be excluded.
