HOT DRIVE SYSTEMS
The motor and controller are very hot during and after use of the vehicle. Hot
components can cause burns and fire. Do not touch hot drive system
components. Always keep combustible materials away from the drive system.
Use caution when traveling through tall grass, especially dry grass. Always
inspect areas near the drive system after driving through tall grass, weeds,
brush and other tall ground cover. Promptly remove any grass or debris clinging
to the vehicle.
PRECAUTIONS DURING MAINTENANCE
DANGER
The voltage in the battery pack is sufficient to cause death by electrocution.
With the exception of battery inspections and refilling the water in flooded type
batteries, never attempt to perform service on the electric drive system,
including the battery pack, unless you are properly trained to work on electrical
systems.
Your authorized GEM dealer can provide battery- related service.
WARNING
Do not work in or near the battery compartment or on any other electrical
component of the vehicle while charging the batteries.
WARNING
Before servicing the vehicle’s electrical system, always disconnect the main
power connector first, then disconnect any electrical accessory connections,
then disconnect the negative cable from the 12-volt battery (if equipped), then
disconnect the negative terminal from the main battery pack.
Always follow all safety instructions in the maintenance portion of this owner’s
manual, as well as the following:
• Make sure the vehicle is properly immobilized before beginning any
maintenance.
• Always block the chassis securely before working under the vehicle.
• Turn the key off and remove it from the vehicle.
• Insulate any tools used within the battery area to prevent sparks or battery
explosion caused by shorting the battery terminals or wiring. Remove the
batteries, or cover the exposed terminals with an insulating material.
