Always perform the High Voltage Disabling procedure prior to servicing any High Voltage component or connection. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.

The High Voltage Disabling procedure includes the following steps:

• Identify how to disable high voltage.
• Identify how to test for the presence of high voltage.
• Identify condition under which high voltage is always present and personal protection equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.

Before working on any high voltage system, be sure to wear the following Personal Protection Equipment:

• Safety glasses with appropriate side shields when within 15 meters (50 feet) of the vehicle, either indoors or outdoors.
• Certified and up-to-date Class "0" Insulation gloves rated at 1000V with leather protectors.
  • Visually and functionally inspect the gloves before use.
  • Wear the Insulation gloves with leather protectors at all times when working with the high voltage battery assembly, whether the system is energized or not.

Failure to follow the procedures may result in serious injury or death.

If the air lines need to be removed to perform repairs on any air suspension components, depressurize the Automatic Level Control System. This will prevent vehicle damage or personal injury.

Do NOT remove Automatic Level Control System components under any circumstances when the system is pressurized. Disconnecting a pressurized air line that is connected to an Automatic Level Control System component can cause damage to components or personal injury.
