Danger!
The electrical systems of electric vehicles contain lethal voltages and energy
levels.
Installation
of Hot Juice Electric products requires knowledge and experience of working with electric vehicle electrical
systems.
The installer
of Hot Juice Electric products assumes the responsibility for safe work practices and the resulting safety
of the installation.
Do not attempt to install any Hot Juice Electric product without sufficient knowledge to competently and
safely work with lethal voltage and energy storage systems. Otherwise, refer installation to a qualified
technician.
Important notice: The batteries in an electric vehicle cannot be turned off. Even with safety disconnect
switches, contactors, etc. the individual batteries are still “ON” and cannot be turned off. A
safe practice is to always work with any circuit as if it is HOT even if you are “certain” the power source is
disconnected.

following websites provide useful information and publications regarding electrical safety practices.
