•

If the green START light goes out and the amber CHARGE

INTERRUPT light illuminates:

– operation has been discontinued by the Class A ground fault

detection system.

– due to the high sensitivity of this system, the charge operation

will be shut down if either the charge cord plug or the charge

inlet is wet or damp.

•

Press the STOP button to reset the system.

– If further attempts are unsuccessful, it is likely that a ground

fault exists.

– If a ground fault exists, it must be repaired to continue the

charging operation.

•

Complete charging procedure is covered in Lesson 2.

Charge Inlet

Charge Inlet

•

The charge inlet is equivalent to the fuel filler port on a gasoline-

powered vehicle.

•

The Electric Ranger receives power in the form of 240-volt

AC current.

•

An EV industry standard plug fits into the charge inlet.

– Located between the headlights behind a grille access door.

•

The high voltage wiring that connects the charge inlet to the

on board battery charger is energized only during charging.

Battery Charger

Battery Charger

•

The on-board battery charger (arrow) is located in the underhood

compartment beneath the high voltage power distribution box.

•

The on-board battery charger receives 240-volt 40 amp AC current

from the power control station (PCS) and converts it into DC

current.

•

The on-board battery charger operates only with a charger cord

plugged into the charge inlet.

– The vehicle cannot be started or driven with the charger cord

attached to the charge inlet.

•

Internal fans provide cooling during battery charger operation.
