Avoid driving with the v-max+ on unfortified paths such as sand, mud,
loose gravel, ice or snow.

4.6.1
Environmental conditions
Although the
v-max+
has been tested for its electro-magnetic compatibili-
ty, you should still check its electronic functions before each use. This is
particularly important if there is an aerial mast nearby
.
4.7
Charge of the batteries
F
You should only use the
v-max+
with fully charged batteries. The light
emitting diode indicates the state of the batteries’ capacity.
F
Please be careful when going downhill with full batteries. The drive down
generates electricity which charges the batteries additionally. This may
lead to excess voltage which in turn may lead to a turning off of the
v-max+.
During regular use the device reduces its speed automatically to
avoid overvoltage.
F
When going uphill it is also possible that the device turns itself off. This
can happen if there is excess temperature (see chapter 6.5)
