Always wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle. Wear a full-face shield and gloves when working with or around batteries and electrical connectors. Always use insulated tools when working with or near batteries. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

NOTICE

Damage to electrical connections and components will occur if they are unplugged before the main power connector is disconnected.

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. See Main Power Connector.
