RUBBER INSULATING GLOVES TESTING - HYBRID

WARNING:When servicing the high-voltage system, establish a buffer zone per the specified procedure. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death.

WARNING:Depower the high-voltage traction battery (HVTB) before carrying out any removal or installation procedures affecting the high-voltage battery system. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death.

WARNING:Wear high-voltage insulated safety gloves and a face shield when working with high-voltage batteries or cables. The high-voltage insulated safety gloves should be of the appropriate safety and protection rating. Inspect the gloves before use and always wear them with the leather outer glove. Any hole in the rubber insulating glove is a potential entry point for high-voltage. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.

WARNING:Turn OFF the ignition switch for a minimum of 5 minutes before removing high-voltage cables. High-voltage cables and wiring are orange in color. The nominal high-voltage traction battery voltage (HVTB) is 330 V DC. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.
NOTE:The high-voltage insulated safety gloves must be recertified every 6 months to remain within OSHA guidelines.
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 show 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 "00" and meet all of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards.
