Warning and Caution
Safety Information
This is not an all-inclusive list. Use common sense and act responsibly, electric motor controllers and motors are
extremely powerful and could cause death, dismemberment or other serious injury if misused or not safely
handled!
Wear protective or safety equipment such as safety shoes, safety glasses and gloves when working with motors and
controllers.
Remove all metal jewelry and metal objects from hands, wrist, fingers, etc. before working on any electric motor
or controller.
Insulate any tools that are used in proximity to connection points that have any voltage potential to prevent shorts
if the tool is accidentally dropped onto the terminals/connections.
Use caution when operating any controller or motor. If you're not sure what you're doing, or do not feel
comfortable with the situation, find a knowledgeable person to advise you.
Make certain the motor and controller are disconnected from any power source before servicing. If any doubt
exists of the voltage that might exist, measure with proper metering devices that are in good functional condition,
and rated for the voltages that could exist.
Verify and re-verify proper wiring connections.
Take extreme caution around series-connected batteries to avoid placing hands across live connections. It is
generally good practice to avoid the use of both hands when working around high voltage circuits. This reduces the
risk of an accidental short across the chest cavity.
If working on an electric vehicle, make certain the vehicle is positioned securely with the drive wheels safely clear
of the floor and blocked up so that the drive wheels cannot make contact with the floor under any circumstances.
Block the non-drive wheels if they remain in contact with the floor so that the vehicle cannot roll in either
direction.
Motors and controllers must only be connected to a power source by knowledgeable and experienced personnel.
Motors should NEVER be run without a load. Running a motor without a load could result in harm to people or
the motor. Absence of a load is considered misuse and could prove dangerous to anyone in the vicinity and void the
motor warranty.
