Make sure that the battery charger that is used with the vehicle has a drive inhibit function
that is correctly connected for use with the controller. If you are not sure, ask your dealer or
vehicle manufacturer.
l
Users should be aware that the surface of the remote module can potentially get hot when
exposed to strong sunlight for long periods.
l
If the wheelchair's remote module has not been fitted with a hand guard, the user should be
made aware that their hand will not be protected from crushing, when, for example, manoeu-
vring towards or under a table.

against using battery chargers of higher current ratings.
l

10.6.2 Service and configuration warnings
The following warnings are applicable to the installation technician and the dealer or the therapist
who supplies the vehicle to the end user.
l
It is the responsibility of the installer to make sure that accessories and cables of the vehicle do
not interfere with the operation of the controller.
l
Do not use the vehicle frame as the earth return. Any electrical low-resistance connection to
the frame is a safety risk and is not allowed by international safety standards.
l
To protect the wheelchair wiring from over-currents while charging, battery chargers must be
able to reduce their current output when electrically shorted.
l
If the vehicle loses electric power, it is important that an attendant is able to move the vehicle
easily.
l
After you have completed the installation, check it thoroughly. Correctly adjust all pro-
grammable options before the vehicle is used.
l
After you have configured the vehicle, check to make sure that the vehicle performs to the spec-
ifications entered in the programming procedure. If the vehicle does not perform to spec-
ifications, reprogram it. Repeat this procedure until the vehicle performs to specifications. If
the desired operation cannot be reached, contact your service agent.
l
The dealer, therapist or other agent who supplies the vehicle to the end user has the respon-
sibility to make sure that the vehicle is correctly configured for the needs of that user.
l
For each individual user, the vehicle set-up and configuration should take into consideration
his or her:
o
technical knowledge, experience and education, and
o
medical and physical condition, including the level of disability and capability (where
applicable).
l
It is the responsibility of the OEM and installer to make sure that the maximum driving speed
of the vehicle is limited as appropriate when the vehicle is in a mechanically unstable position,
for example when the seat is raised.
l
It is the responsibility of the therapist/installer to minimise any risk of use error, including
those arising from ergonomic features and/or the environment in which the device is intended
to be used.
l
Prior to handing over the vehicle, make sure that users are fully able to operate the product by
giving them appropriate training on functionality and safety features, and having them test
drive the vehicle in a safe area in the presence of their agent.
l
The controller can cause the vehicle to come to a sudden stop. If this can be dangerous to the
operator, the installer must install a seat belt and the operator must wear this belt.
