hour in the charging area. Never charge the batteries in an area subject to a
flame or spark, including areas containing gas or propane water heaters and
furnaces. Do not smoke in the charging area.

accordance with your applicable Regulatory Authority ordinances. Periodically
inspect and review your facilities and procedures to ensure alignment with
these ordinances.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Make sure the charging area is well ventilated.
3. Make sure the key is off.
4. Remove any vehicle covers and open any door enclosures or zippers.

and frayed wiring. Replace any damaged components promptly.
