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.
•
Wheels (turning and castor)
•
Electric tilt in space adjustment
•
Electric backrest adjustment
•
Swing-away controller holder
2.3
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.
