NOTE: The rubber insulating gloves that are to be
worn while working on all high-voltage systems on
the Ranger and the Postal Ranger EV are rated for
use on equipment of up to 1000 volts. They must be
inspected before use and must always be worn in
conjunction with the leather outer glove. Any hole
in the rubber insulating glove is a potential entry
point for high voltage.

1. Roll the glove up from the open end until the

lower portion of the glove begins to balloon
from the resulting air pressure. If the glove
leaks any air it must not be used.

2. The gloves should not be used if they exhibit

any signs of wear and tear.

3. The leather gloves must always be worn over

the rubber insulating gloves in order to protect
them.

4. The rubber insulating gloves must be class

‘‘O’’ and meet all of the American Safety
Testing Materials Standards.

Buffer Zone

1. NOTE: The buffer zone is required only when

working with the high-voltage systems on the
Electric Vehicle.
Position the vehicle in the service bay.

2. NOTE: For Electric Ranger.

4. Do not allow any unauthorized personnel into

the buffer zone during repairs involving
high-voltage. Only personnel trained for service
on the high voltage systems of the EV are to be
permitted in the buffer zone.

Traction Battery Charging
