WARNING
FOLLOW YOUR INTERNAL SAFETY PROCEDURES.
WARNING
This vehicle has an electrochemical power storage device and high-voltage cables that can cause fatal electric
shock and damage to the bus. It is the customer’s responsibility to read and understand the risks associated with
the maintenance, replacement, or repair of any particular system’s components. See your maintenance manual
section 16: LFS-e High Voltage Electrical System.
WARNING
Decommissioning, locking out the vehicle and using signage is mandatory when working on the high
voltage components. This prevents accidental reapplication of voltage and protects maintenance personnel
who may be called upon to work on high-voltage electrical connections. See your maintenance manual
section 16: LFS-e High Voltage Electrical System.
WARNING
Follow the Commissioning procedure from your maintenance manual section 16: LFS-e High Voltage Electrical
System.
NOTE
The following procedure is provided by Powerex. Nova Bus cannot be held responsible for its content.

Remove x1 set screw (with flathead screw
driver) in terminal block for x1 set of dual
wires running into terminal block (Perform
one-at-a-time to prevent miswire
condition). Inspect motor wires for damage.
Retain hardware. Note: to re-install follow
wiring diagram on page 6.
11
Remove spiral loom from around motor
wiring.

Inspect motor wires for damage. If
insulation damage is found, place heat
shrink over damage (See steps 37-38 for
further details). If the damage extends
into the copper conductor, stop rework
process and contact supervisor. Motor
will need to be replaced.
10
Inspect green ground wire and torque
ground wire bolt into back of junction box
to 20-in-lbs.
Check incoming Power cable wiring for
damage. If insulation damage is found, place
heat shrink over damage (See steps 37-38
for further details). If the damage extends
into the copper conductor, stop rework
process until power cable is replaced.
