Important Safety Instructions - Decon wheel e-drive User Manual

1.1 Important safety instructions before using e-drive
For safety reasons e-drive must only be operated by people who:
• Have received instruction on using e-drive
• Are in good physical and psychological health, so as to be able to control e-drive
safely in all operating situations.
Instruction on operating e-drive is included in the scope of the delivery and will be provided
at a time agreed through your specialist dealer or a Decon Wheel representative. This service
is completely free of charge.
If you still do not feel safe using e-drive, please contact your specialist dealer
e-drive has been programmed to suit you by your local dealer. The performance shall not be
changed because it will effect the road performance and be dangerous for you
Adhere to all the values the wheelchair manufacturer has specified in the directions for use,
particularly maximum clearance limits. Also carefully follow the operating and safety
instructions in the directions for use of the wheelchair.
Always switch e-drive off and activate the parking brake before moving to or from the
wheelchair.
e-drive is dimensioned for indoor and outdoor use, but a basic prerequisite is that you travel
on a stable surface.
Despite e-drive being dimensioned in accordance with all current EMC directives,
electromagnetic fields may affect driving characteristics. Mobile phones and other
devices that emit electromagnetic radiation can in certain cases cause incorrect
function. Likewise, e-drive may cause disturbances in electromagnetic fields. This is
rare, though it can lead to triggering of alarms in older alarm installations, e.g. in
department stores, or to opening of older automatic doors.
Make sure you are in a safe place and switch e-drive off, before using a mobile phone or a
similar device. Avoid driving in the proximity of strong electric fields as traffic lights,
electrical wires and transformers that can cause interference. E-drive can by itself create
electrical and radio waves. E-drive can disturb electrical equipment. It can cause interference
on equipment in a hospital or other places that have electrical instruments.
On no account start e-drive up before receiving instruction from your specialist dealer or a
Decon Wheel representative.
