SAFETY INFORMATION
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
ALWAYS:
test drive the vehicle after any repairs or maintenance. All tests must be conducted in a safe area that is free of both
vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
replace damaged or missing warning, caution or information labels.
keep complete records of the maintenance history of the vehicle.
VENTILATION
Hydrogen gas is generated in the charging cycle of batteries and is explosive in concentrations as low as 4%.
Because hydrogen gas is lighter than air, it will collect in the ceiling of buildings necessitating proper ventilation. Five
air exchanges per hour is considered the minimum requirement.
Never charge a vehicle in an area that is subject to flame or spark. Pay particular attention to natural gas or propane
gas water heaters and furnaces.
Use a dedicated circuit for each battery charger. Do not permit other appliances to be plugged into the receptacle
when the charger is in operation.
Chargers must be installed and operated in accordance with charger manufacturers recommendations or applicable
electrical code (whichever is more restrictive).
