•
ONLY travel the Trace on paved or smooth level surfaces free of hazards. DO NOT use on
gravel, dirt, bumps, potholes, or other areas that do not have a finished surface like a
sidewalk, to prevent damage to the Trace or tipping over.
•
ONLY operate in environments with adequate ambient light. Operating outside at night or in
areas with low light comes with more risks than operating during the day due to decreased
visibility.
•
Others may have difficulty seeing you and you may not see obstacles in your path.
•
DO NOT maneuver the Trace through standing water, heavy rain, or in areas with other
obstacles. Be aware of areas with uneven floors, stairs, or other obstacles present. DO NOT
park the Trace in standing water.
•
When pushing/pulling the Trace up/down an inclined grade/ramp (under heavy load
conditions up to 200lbs. and/or steep inclines greater than 5 degrees/8.7% grade) be aware
a loss of motorized assist may occur when either:
o
The electric wheel motor thermal or overcurrent protections activate; OR
o
There is a low or a depleted battery pack State of Charge.
The user will have to push/pull/operate the Trace manually should either of these conditions
occur.
•
ALWAYS remove the Trace from service if it falls from an elevated position or tips over. Have
the Trace serviced and inspected per the Service Manual before returning to service.
•
PARK and TAG OUT the Trace if you experience any problems while you are working. Stop
work and tell your supervisor. Make sure to tag the Trace as out of service so others will not
be injured by trying to use it. If any issues are found during the Pre-Operation Safety Check,
get the issue fixed before start work or tag it out and use another Trace.
•
BE AWARE that objects may not be easily seen in front of the Trace when driving or pushing
the Trace in front of you.
