November 2007 GEM Service Manual
INTRODUCTION
Appropriate service methods and proper repair
procedures are essential for the safe, reliable
operation of your vehicles, as well as the safety of
the individual doing the work. This service manual
provides general directions for accomplishing
service and repair work with recommended
techniques. Following them will help ensure
reliability.
There are numerous variations in procedures,
techniques, tools, and parts for servicing your
vehicle, as well as in the skill levels of the
individuals doing the work. This manual cannot
possibly anticipate all such variations and provide
advice or cautions for each. Accordingly, anyone
who departs from the instructions provided in this
manual must first establish that he/she
compromises neither their personal safety nor
vehicle integrity by their choice of methods, tools,
or parts.
GENERAL WARNINGS
Observe the following safety precautions whenever
you are working on your vehicle:
• Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
• Use safety stands whenever a procedure
requires you to be under the vehicle.
• Be sure that the ignition switch is always in the
OFF position and that the key is removed.
• Be sure to switch the 72-volt master disconnect
to OFF.
• Set the parking brake and place wood blocks
(4" x 4" or larger) to the front and rear surfaces
of the tires to restrain the vehicle from
movement.
• Do not smoke while working on your vehicle.
Batteries produce hydrogen gas that is
extremely flammable and will explode upon
exposure to any ignition source.
• Remove rings, watches, loose jewelry, and
loose clothing when working on your vehicle to
avoid injury.
NOTE: The terms right-hand (RH) and left-hand
(LH) are relative to one sitting in the driver's
seat. Therefore, right-hand refers to the
passenger side, and left-hand refers to the
driver's side of the vehicle.
