Removal
WARNING:
Electric vehicles damaged by a crash may have compromised
high voltage safety systems and present a potential high voltage
electrical shock hazard. Exercise caution and wear appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) safety gear, including high voltage safety
gloves and boots. Remove all metallic jewelry, including watches and
rings. Isolate the HV system as directed by the Ford Emergency Response
Guide for the vehicle. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in serious personal injury or death.
NOTICE:
The high-voltage battery in a Battery Electric Vehicle
(BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) or Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle
(PHEV) can be affected and damaged by excessively high temperatures. The
temperature in some body shop paint booths can exceed 60° C (140° F).
Therefore, during refinishing operations, the paint booth temperature
must set at or below 60° C (140° F) with a bake time of 45 minutes or
less. Temperatures in excess of 60° C (140° F) or bake durations longer
than 45 minutes will require the high-voltage battery be removed from
the vehicle prior to placing in the paint booth.
NOTICE:
Electric Vehicle (EV), Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) vehicles contain a High Voltage
Battery (HVB). Before welding near the HVB, the HVB must be removed to
avoid heat damage.
NOTE:
The outer quarter panel may be sectioned at any point
provided no sectioning takes place within 50mm of door hinges or
restraint anchoring points. This procedure assumes full replacement,
adjust to meet repair needs.
