2.2 Safety information on the electrical system

WARNING!
Risk of death, serious injury or damage
Misuse of the mobility device may cause the
mobility device to start smoking, sparking, or
burning. Death, serious injury, or damage may
occur due to fire.
– DO NOT use the mobility device other than its
intended purpose.
– If the mobility device starts smoking, sparking,
or burning, discontinue using the mobility
device and seek service IMMEDIATELY.
WARNING!
Risk of fire
Switched on lamps produce heat. If you cover
the lamps with fabrics such as clothes, there is a
risk that the fabric may catch fire.
– NEVER cover the light system with fabric.
WARNING!
Risk of death, serious injury or damage when
carrying along oxygen systems
Textiles and other materials that normally would
not burn are easily ignited and burn with great
intensity in oxygen enriched air.
– Check the oxygen tubing daily, from the
cylinder to the delivery site, for leaks and hold
away from electrical sparks and any source of
ignition.

WARNING!
Risk of injury or damage due to electrical shorts
Connector pins on cables connected to the power
module can still be live even when the system
is off.
– Cables with live pins should be connected,
restrained or covered (with non-conductive
materials) so that they are not exposed to
human contact or materials that could cause
electrical shorts.
– When cables with live pins have to be
disconnected, for example, when removing the
bus cable from the remote for safety reasons,
make sure to restrain or cover the pins (with
non-conductive materials).
WARNING!
Risk of death, serious injury, or damage
Corroded electrical components due to water or
liquid exposure can result in death, serious injury,
or damage.
– Minimize exposure of electrical components to
water and/or liquids.
– Electrical components damaged by corrosion
MUST be replaced immediately.
– Mobility devices that are frequently exposed
to water/liquids may require replacement of
electrical components more frequently.
