WARNING

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.

Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most reliable condition. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, genuine GEM parts are available from your authorized GEM dealer.

Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log at the back of the book.

Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, your authorized dealer can perform these operations.
