Alternate Procedure 2 (Remove Service Plug)
DANGER
• Do not remove the service plug without always wearing appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) to help protect the responder from serious injury or death
by electrical shock.
• Immediately cover the service plug socket with insulated tape. The high-voltage
battery
retains high-voltage power even when the service plug is removed. To avoid
electric shock, NEVER touch the terminals inside the socket. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or
death, the rescuer should carry the service plug on his/her person while work is in
progress.
