3.2 General safety instructions
CAUTION
Use of unsuitable tools
Pinching, crushing or damaging the product due to use of unsuitable tools
► When completing the tasks, only use tools that are suitable for the conditions at the place of work and for
which safety and the protection of health are assured with proper use.
► Observe the specifications in the section "Required Tools".
NOTICE
Improper preparation before making adjustments
Damage to the product due to falling down and failure to follow setting instructions
► When you work on the product, secure it so that it cannot tip over or fall down.
► Turn the power wheelchair off and, if necessary, disconnect the battery cable from the controller before mak
ing any adjustments. Functional tests of electrical components are excepted from this rule.
► Before work is carried out on the seat, ensure that the padding is adequately protected against mechanical,
chemical and thermal damage.
3.3 Safety Instructions for Assembly
WARNING
Incorrect cable routing
Tipping over, falling out, burns due to assembly errors during cable installation
► Improper cable installation can lead to a loss of cable insulation and consequently to short circuits and even
fires. Always install the cables so the cable insulation cannot chafe.
► Severing cables or unintentionally disconnecting plug connections while driving can cause an emergency
stop of the wheelchair. This can lead to dangerous situations in road traffic. Always install the cables and plug
connections so they cannot be damaged and cannot disconnect.
WARNING
Uncontrolled movement of components when making adjustments
Crushing, pinching, blows due to non-observance of the maintenance and repair instructions
► Ensure that body parts, such as hands or head, are never in the danger zone.
► Perform the work with the aid of a helper for support.
CAUTION
Improper lifting
Crushing, pinching, blows due to failure to observe safety notices
► Some parts of the power wheelchair, such as the batteries, frame, seat, and motors, are very heavy. Ensure
ergonomically correct lifting of these parts. Use sufficiently large hoisting devices or perform this work with
the aid of a helper for support. In this case, you and the helper grasp the frame tubes underneath the seat
with both hands on either side of the product.
► If it is necessary to work underneath raised parts or equipment, make sure these are secured by suitable
means so that they cannot come loose, shift or fall down.
► When using lifting platforms, ensure that the power wheelchair is centred on the platform and that no parts
protrude into the danger zone.
