9.6 Safety and Misuse Warnings
Warnings to be included in the User Manual
The following warnings are applicable to the installer and must be passed on to the end-
user before use of the product.
Do not install, maintain or operate this equipment without reading, understanding and
following the proper instructions and manuals, otherwise injury or damage can result.
No user-serviceable parts inside.
A warning must be conveyed to the operator that he or she has the responsibility to
ensure that the vehicle is kept in a good safe operating condition, and to ensure that
components, such as cables, are protected from damage by securing them in optimum
positions.
A warning must be conveyed to the operator that the controller could cause the vehicle
to come to a sudden stop. In situations where this might affect the safety of the
operator, the fitting and wearing of a seat belt is required.
Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals in the health care field
or by persons fully conversant with the adjustment process and the operator’s
capabilities. Incorrect settings, or programming in an unsafe location, could cause injury
to the operator or bystanders, or damage to the vehicle or surrounding property.
Performance adjustments should only be made indoors, or outdoors in dry conditions.
The user should turn the system off before getting in and out of the vehicle.
Do not operate the vehicle if it behaves erratically, or shows abnormal response,
heating, smoke or arcing. Turn the system off at once and consult your service agent.
If the vehicle drives without demand, press the Power button.
Ensure that the battery charger used with DX is pin-compatible for drive inhibit. Consult
your dealer or vehicle manufacturer.
If the vehicle speed surges when going down hill, the common reason is the operation
of an over-voltage protective device. When running down hill, the braking energy from
the motor is sent to the battery, which charges it. However, if the battery is fully
charged, it cannot accept the generated energy without dramatically increasing its
voltage. If this over-voltage condition were allowed to continue, there would be a risk of
damage to the battery or an explosion. To prevent these risks, the controller forces the
vehicle to slow down until the battery voltage drops to a safe level, after which it allows
the vehicle to speed up again. To prevent speed surging with charged batteries, we
advise operators to descend hills slowly.
No connector pins should be touched, because contamination or damage due to
electrostatic discharge might result.
The controller should not be stored or operated outside of the minimum or maximum
temperature ranges specified in this manual.
