GRX-5100 HEV Battery Service Tool
6
General Safety Guidelines
1.7
Connect and disconnect the battery leads only when di-
rected to do so by the GRX-5100.
1.8
Do not overcharge the battery (See Section 3).
1.9
Charge the battery in a dry, well-ventilated area.
1.10
Never place articles on or around the GRX-5100, or locate
the GRX-5100 in a way that will restrict the ow of cooling
air through the cabinet.
1.11
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. (See paragraph 3.3.)
1.12
Have a damaged cord or plug replaced immediately.
Do not expose the GRX-5100 to rain or
snow.
2. Personal Precautions
Only technicians certied to work on HEV
systems may use this equipment.
2.1
Always have someone within range of your voice, or close
enough to come to your aid, when working around batteries.
2.2 Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery
electrolyte contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
2.3 Always wear all personal protective equipment (PPE)
when operating this equipment.
2.4 If battery electrolyte contacts skin or clothing, wash im-
mediately with soap and water. If electrolyte enters the
eye, immediately ush with cold running water for at least
10 minutes, and seek medical attention.
2.5 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in vicinity of a bat-
tery or engine.
2.6 Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool
onto the battery. It might spark or short circuit the battery
or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
2.7 Before working with a battery, remove personal metal
items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, etc. A
battery can produce a short circuit current high enough
to weld such items causing a severe burn.
Non-rechargeable batteries may burst when
charging causing personal injury and damage.
To avoid electrical shock or burn, never alter the GRX-5100’s
original AC cord and plug. Disconnect plug from outlet
when GRX-5100 is idle.
The GRX-5100 is not intended to supply power to a low-
voltage electrical system other than applications using
rechargeable batteries.
2.8 NEVER charge a frozen battery; thaw it out rst.
3. Grounding & Power Cord Connections
3.1
The GRX-5100 must be grounded to reduce risk of electric
shock. The GRX-5100 is equipped with an electric cord hav-
ing an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Hazardous voltage.
An improper connection can result in
electric shock
To avoid electrical shock or burn, never alter
the GRX-5100’s original AC cord and plug. Dis-
connect plug from outlet when GRX-5100 is
idle.
IF THE PLUG DOES NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER
OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
3.2
This GRX-5100 is for use on a nominal 120 volts or 240 volts
circuit (240 volt power cord not included).
The 120V grounding plug looks like the plug illustrated
in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in Figures B and C, may be used to
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in
Figure B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualied electrician.
Hazardous voltage.
An improper connection can result in
electric shock
Before using an adapter be certain the center
screw of the outlet plate is grounded. The rigid
ear or lug extending from the adapter must be
connected to a properly grounded outlet. Make
certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace the
original screw that secures the adapter ear or
lug to the cover plate and make the ground
connection to the grounded outlet.
USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A
GROUNDING-TYPE RECEPTACLE IS NOT AVAILABLE, DO
NOT USE THIS SERVICE TOOL UNTIL THE PROPER OUTLET
IS INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
