WARNING
Never weld on a compressed natural gas vehicle unless the compressed natural gas fuel system has been purged with
inert gas. See Service Manual Section 1.
Disconnect all battery connections.
Place welding ground as close as possible to the area that is being repaired.
Disconnect the Cortex Controller.
If welding within 24 inches of a proximity switch, remove the switch from the unit.
Failure to follow these procedures may cause damage to the devices. The damage comes from the inability of the devices
to withstand the amperage, open circuit voltage and magnetic flux a welder can produce.
