WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
Connector pins on cables connected to the power
module can still be live even when the system is
off. Human contact or other materials may cause
an electrical short. To prevent injury or damage
due to electrical shorts:
– Cables with live pins should be connected,
restrained or covered (with non-conductive
materials) so 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).
DANGER!
Risk of Death, Serious Injury, or Damage
Corroded electrical components due to water,
liquid exposure, or incontinent users 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.
– Wheelchairs that are used by incontinent
users and/or are frequently exposed to
water/liquids may require replacement of
electrical components more frequently.
