Procedure to reroute the battery cables
VIN List of Affected Vehicles
| SAFETY NOTICE |
| Perform your company’s Lockout/Tagout procedure. If your company does not have a Lockout/Tagout procedure, follow OSHA 1910.147 and 1910.146 Confined Space as appropriate. |
| SAFETY NOTICE |
| Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as required by your company. |
PROCEDURE: Rerouting Battery Cables
- Perform your company’s Lockout/Tagout procedure. If your company does not have a Lockout/ Tagout procedure, follow OSHA 1910.147 and 1910.146 Confined Space as appropriate. Place wheel chocks to prevent the vehicle from moving. Place the vehicle in PARK with the parking brake engaged.
- Battery Disconnect Switch
If your vehicle is equipped with a BATTERY DISCONNECT switch, it is located near the battery box. Use the battery disconnect switch when performing any maintenance so the vehicle cannot accidentally be started.
- Turn the battery disconnect switch (Figure A, Item 1) counterclockwise so the hole on the switch aligns with the hole in the bracket (Figure A, Item 2).
- Install the safety lockout device ring (Figure B, Item 1) through the holes on the battery disconnect switch and the bracket.
- Install a padlock (Figure B, Item 2) onto the safety lockout device ring, lock it, and put the key in your pocket. If more than one person is working on the vehicle, each person must install his or her own padlock.
Battery Cable Disconnect
WARNING
For trucks without a battery disconnect switch, to prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, disconnect battery cables (negative cable first) before proceeding.
Disconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury.
- Reroute the battery cables so that they do not touch or rub on against bolts or the fuse box bracket.
Figure 1 shows incorrectly routed battery cables (page 4).
Figure 2 shows correctly routed battery cables that are not rubbing (page 4).
- When the cables are rerouted, this procedure is complete. Reconnect the battery switch or cables.
- Remove your company’s Lockout/Tagout procedure. If your company does not have a Lockout/ Tagout procedure, follow OSHA 1910.147 and 1910.146 Confined Space as appropriate. Remove the wheel chocks, remove the truck from PARK, and disengage the parking brake.
Figure 1 Incorrect routing. Battery cables are rubbing on bolts and the fuse box bracket.
Figure 2 Correct routing. Battery cables are routed away from bolts and the fuse box bracket.
