Securing the 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.
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.
3.2 HIGH-VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
Introduction
If an emergency occurs (accident, fire), the high-voltage power supply of the high-
voltage system must be shut down. It takes up to ten minutes before the high
voltage has dropped to a harmless level after an emergency high-voltage shutdown
procedure has been carried out.
CAUTION: The electric vehicle is equipped with two red emergency
switches. One in the cabin, next to the tachograph and one next to the
high-voltage charge plug behind the cabin. Using one of these
switches during normal vehicle operation can lead to damage to the
high-voltage system.
– Only use the red emergency switches in case of an emergency or
when shutting down the high-voltage circuit for repair and
maintenance works.
WARNING! Never operate an emergency stop button while driving.
– Operating an emergency stop button while driving switches off all
electrical systems including hydraulic steering pump and air
compressor. This can lead to very dangerous situations with
regards to steering and braking.
