WARNING

Risk of damage to the equipment or serious injury

•  LStoring or using the vehicle close to a naked 

flame or flammable products can result in da

-

mage to the equipment or serious injuries.

•  To ensure the equipment is reliable, avoid ex-

posing it to extreme conditions, heat or humi-
dity.

•  Never store your electric vehicle outdoors.

 

CAUTION

Risk of injury if the maximum permitted load is 
exceeded

•  Do not exceed the maximum permitted load 

(refer to the Technical Specifications section).

•  The electric vehicle is only designed to accom-

modate a single occupant with a maximum 
weight not exceeding the maximum permitted 
load for this equipment. Never use the vehicle 
to transport several people.

 

CAUTION

Risk of injury in the event of inappropriate hand-
ling or fall of heavy parts

•  during servicing and maintenance operations 

or when you are lifting certain parts of the 
equipment, consider the weight of each com-
ponent, particularly the batteries. Ensure you 
always adopt the correct posture and don’t 
hesitate to ask for help.

 

CAUTION

Risk of injury caused by moving parts

•  Ensure that the moving parts of the motorised 

vehicle, such as the wheels or joystick, do not 
cause injuries, particularly when children are 
present.

 

CAUTION

Risk  of  fire  or  fault  when  connecting  electrical 

equipment

•  Do not connect your motorised vehicle to 

any equipment that has not been explicitly 
permitted by Benoit Systemes. Rely on your 
Benoit Systemes approved dealer for all elec-
trical installations.

 
SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL 
SYSTEM

 

WARNING

Risk of damage to the equipment or serious, even 
fatal, injury Inappropriate use of the motorised 

vehicle can result in the emission of smoke or 
sparks, and heat may be given off.

A fire is likely to cause damage to the equipment 

or serious, even fatal, injuries.

•  The motorised vehicle must NOT be used for 

a purpose other than that for which it is de-
signed.

•  If the vehicle begins to emit smoke, sparks or 

heat, stop using it and have it checked IMME-
DIATELY.

 

WARNING

Risk of injury or damage associated with short-cir-
cuits.

The  pins  of  the  connectors  fitted  to  the  cables 

connected to the power module can remain live 
even when the system is stopped.

• 

Cables fitted with active pins must be connec

-

ted, retained or covered (using non-conduc-
tive materials) so as not to be exposed to hu-
man contact nor to materials likely to cause 
short-circuits.

• 

When cables fitted with active pins have to be 

disconnected (e.g. to disconnect the bus cable 
from the control unit for safety reasons), en-
sure the pins or retained or covered (using 
non-conductive materials).

 

WARNING

Risk of damage to the equipment or serious, even 
fatal, injury Corrosion of electrical components 
due to exposure to water or liquids can result in 
damage to the equipment or serious, even fatal, 
injuries.

•  Reduce the exposure of electrical components 

to water and/or liquids.

•  Electrical components damaged by corrosion 

MUST be replaced immediately.

•  Motorised vehicles frequently exposed to wa-

ter/liquids can require electrical components 
to be replaced more frequently.

 

WARNING

Risk of serious, even fatal, injury
Failure to take note of these warnings can cause 
an electrical discharge resulting in serious or fatal 
injuries, or damage to the electrical system.

•  The POSITIVE (+) RED cable from the battery 

MUST be connected to the POSITIVE (+) ter-
minals/poles of the battery.

•  The NEGATIVE (–) BLACK cable from the bat-

tery MUST be connected to the NEGATIVE (–) 
terminals/poles of the battery.

•  Ensure that tools and/or cables are NEVER 

in contact with BOTH poles of the battery at 
the same time. This could cause an electrical 
discharge and damage to the equipment or se-
rious, even fatal, injuries.

•  Immediately replace a cable(s) where the in-

sulating cover is damaged, the cable(s) frayed 
or the lead(s) cut.

•  Do NOT remove the fuse nor the fastenings 

for the red POSITIVE (+) cable from the batte-

ry and the fitting screw.

 

CAUTION

Risk of damage to the motorised vehicle
A fault in the electrical system can cause unusual 
behaviour.

•  In the event of a fault, turn the control unit off 

and back on again.

•  If the problem persists, disconnect or remove 

the battery unit.

•  If in doubt or for any question, don’t hesitate 

to contact your dealer.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT ELECTRO-
MAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

Electromagnetic fields, such as radio and television 

transmitters, radio devices and mobile telephones 

produce  them,  and  may  have  an  influence  on  the 

operation of the vehicle. The electronic device 
used in this device can also cause weak electro-
magnetic disturbances, however these are below 
the legal limit. Therefore please consider the fol-
lowing comments:

 

WARNING

Risk of incorrect operation following electro-
magnetic emissions

•  Do not use a portable transmitter nor com-

munication devices (radio devices or mobile 
telephones) or, as applicable, to not use them 
while the electric vehicle is in use.

•  Avoid going near powerful radio or television 

transmitters.

•  If your vehicle should start moving by itself, or 

if the brakes happen to be released, turn the 
equipment off.

•  Adding electrical or other accessories or mo-

difying the equipment risks making it subject 
to electromagnetic emissions/faults. Taken 
into account the fact that there is no really 
safe method to determine the effect of such 

modifications  on  the  resistance  to  interfe

-

rence.

•  Report to the producer all undesirable move-

ments of the vehicle that occur, even the elec-
tric brakes being released.

SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT INSTALLATION

 

WARNING

Risk of damage to the equipment or serious, even 

fatal, injury

Prolonged use of an electric vehicle with settings 

not  complying  with  the  specifications  risk  cau

-

sing the vehicle to become unstable and causing 
damage to the equipment or serious, even fatal, 
injuries.

•  Performance adjustments must only be made 

by people trained and authorised by Benoit 
Systemes, who fully understand this process 
and the user’s capabilities.

•  After adjusting the electric vehicle, ensure 

that it operates according to the parameters 

defined  during  the  installation  procedure.  If 

the electric vehicle does not operate accor-
ding to the parameters, turn it off IMMEDIA-
TELY and re-enter the installation parameters. 
If the electric vehicle continues not operating 
correctly, contact Benoit Systemes.

 

WARNING

Risk of damage to the equipment or serious, even 

fatal,  injury.

 Inadequately tightened or missing 

fastenings can cause the vehicle to become uns-
table, resulting in damage to the equipment or 
serious, even fatal, injuries.

•  After ANY adjustment, repair or servicing and 

before use, ensure that all the fastenings are 

fitted and suitably tightened.

 

CAUTION

Risk of damage to the equipment or serious injury

•  When adjusting the position of the control 

unit, always ensure to tighten all the screws 
correctly

•  In the event of a problem adjusting the control 

unit, immediately turn off the electric vehicle’s 
electronic system at the control unit.

 

CAUTION

Pinch points can arise when making adjustments

Be careful of your fingers.

 

CAUTION

Check all the cables!
