  • Page 7: General Information

    Safety information General information General safety information The hand control is a pre-assembled component that comes ready to install. It was designed and built in line with the harmonised standards that must be ob- served as well as further technical specifications. Consequently, it is a state-of- the-art product and provides the best possible level of safety while in operation. The hand control left the factory in a flawless condition in terms of technical safety. However, safety can only be achieved in practice if all the required actions have been taken. The person responsible for operation has a duty to plan these ac- tions and monitor their implementation. The hand control must not be used as an aid for getting into the vehicle. Observe the following in particular during assembly: • Installation and maintenance work may only be performed by specialist staff using suitable tools.
  • Page 8 Safety information Observe the following in particular as a user: • Comply with generally accepted codes of practice when using and operating the hand control. • Observe the applicable accident prevention and safety provisions when op- erating the hand control. The complete operating and installation instructions must always be carried in the vehicle. The driving aid features built-on parts and levers that will restrict the space available on the driver’s side to a certain extent once installed.
