Check Battery Connections

WARNING! Improper handling of high voltage wiring, batteries or control systems could result in serious injury or death by electric shock. Only qualified technicians should repair or access high voltage wiring, battery packs and associated systems.

Check Battery Cables and Wiring

Check the battery compartment for any signs of worn insulation, frayed cables or damaged cable ends. If found, see your authorized GEM dealer for service before operating.

WARNING! If battery cable ends are damaged or corroded, they should be replaced or cleaned as necessary. Failure to do so may cause them to overheat during operation, possibly leading to fire, which may result in serious injury or death.

Check Battery Hold-Down Bars

Battery hold-down bars should be snug to keep batteries from moving while the vehicle is in motion, but not so tight as to crack or buckle the battery case.
