Safety

Follow the instructions carefully next to
these warning symbols! Not paying
careful attention to these instructions
could result in physical injury or damage
to the wheelchair or the environment.
Wherever possible, safety information is
provided in the relevant chapter.
Safety information is indicated with
the warning symbol.
2.1

Temperature

Avoid physical contact with the
•
wheelchair's motors at all times.
Motors are continuously in motion
during use and can reach high
temperatures. After use, the motors
will cool down slowly. Physical
contact could cause burns.
If you do not use the wheelchair,
•
ensure that it is not exposed to direct
sunlight for lengthy periods of time.
Certain parts of the wheelchair, such
as the seat, the back and the
armrests can become hot if they have
been exposed to full sunlight for too
long. This may cause burns or
allergic reactions to the skin.
2.2

Moving parts

A wheelchair has moving and rotating
parts. Contact with moving parts may
result in serious physical injury or
damage to the wheelchair. Contact with
the moving parts of the wheelchair
should be avoided.

Electromagnetic radiation

The standard version of your electric
wheelchair has been tested on the
applicable requirements with respect to
electromagnetic radiation (EMC
requirements) In spite of these tests:
it cannot be excluded that
•
electromagnetic radiation may have
an influence on the wheelchair. For
example:
mobile telephony
•
large-scale medical apparatus
•
other sources of electromagnetic
•
radiation
it cannot be excluded that the
•
wheelchair may interfere with
electromagnetic fields. For example:
shop doors
•
burglar alarm systems in shops
•
garage door openers
•
In the unlikely event that such problems
do occur, we request that you notify your
dealer immediately.
