Safety and Accident Prevention
Regulations
Adhere to the following notes in order to prevent personal
injuries and material damage.
Safety and protective devices (see Section 1.6, page 10)
must only be removed to carry out maintenance and
repair work. All safety and protective devices must be
replaced immediately after such work has been com-
pleted. If they are not replaced correctly, there is a high
risk of injury.
The Electric Step must only be used for the purpose for
which it is intended, otherwise dangerous situations,
with resultant injuries, may occur (Proper Use: see Sec-
tion 1.1, page 8).
Proper use of the Electric Step also includes adherence
to the specified maintenance and repair work, in par-
ticular strict adherence to the maintenance intervals
(see Chapter 6, page 20). If such work is not carried
out, trouble-free operation can not be guaranteed.
Risks of personal injury and material damage can occur.
Upon completion of installation, the Electrical Step must
be inspected by a technical expert. During inspection,
faults affecting the safety should be systematically iden-
tified and remedial action taken.
If modifications are made to the construction or major
repair has been carried out on load bearing parts of the
step, these must also be inspected by a technical ex-
pert.
The Electric Step must not be operated in a faulty condi-
tion, as serious injuries may be caused by this. If faults
occur, initiate repairs.
Do not place any objects on the step. Persons can suf-
fer injury if these fall off.
Switch the Electric Step OFF before carrying out
maintenance and repair work. This includes cleaning
work. Make certain that no other person can switch the
Electric Step ON (e.g. by disconnecting the vehicle’s
battery). If this is not done, there is a risk of injury.
Use only original spare parts or spare parts which have
been approved of by the manufacturer. If non-original or
unauthorised replacement parts are used, this will ren-
der the guarantee null and void.
