Dismantling Guide

Safety Precautions
WARNING;
● Always follow instructions described in this guide. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in serious injury or death.
● Before dismantling, shut off the high voltage circuits or discharge the Main drive lithium-ion
battery in accordance with instructions on the following pages.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment where instructed in this guide.
● Do not assume high voltage components have been shut off simply because the vehicle is quiet.
● Never directly touch any exposed high voltage wiring cables, protective covers detached from
high voltage components, or high voltage components that might be damaged.
If fluid leakage is observed under the body, the fluid may be electrolyte leaking from the Main
drive lithium-ion battery. This electrolyte is flammable and poisonous acidic gas will evaporate from
the electrolyte. Wear a mask for organic gas, solvent-resistant gloves (or heavy-duty rubber gloves),
and eye protection. Use an absorption mat or sand to absorb spilled electrolyte. (The electrolyte is
clear and colorless and with a slightly sweet odor. It has similar viscosity to water.)
If the electrolyte comes into contact with your skin, flush with water immediately.
If the electrolyte gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Immediately flush your eyes with a
large quantity of water and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
If the vehicle must be left unattended during the dismantling process, display a sign indicating
“HIGH VOLTAGE WORK IN PROGRESS!! DANGER! DO NOT TOUCH!”. Refer to the signboard
example at the end of this guide.
● Advise all dismantlers that an electric vehicle is involved.
● If a charge connector is connected to the vehicle, remove it.
