WARNING: Magnetic Pinch Hazard
– The magnetic
chassis is fitted with rare earth magnets. These magnets
are very strong and create an immanent pinch hazard.
Use caution when handling the magnets or vehicle near
steel objects and tools, they may snap together
unexpectedly.
WARNING: Medical Hazard
– Operators with
magnetically sensitive medical implants should be aware
of and follow appropriate practices.
WARNING: Electronic Device Interference
–
Magnetically sensitive devices, including computer hard
drives, cell phones, watches and credit cards may be
disrupted or damaged by the magnetic field.
Note:
Rare earth materials are mechanically weak, and
magnetically very strong. They must therefore be
handled very carefully to avoid damage.
Note:
To reduce risk of injury and damage to equipment, always store the
VT100 magnetic vehicle in its
magnetically shielded storage and shipping
box
or store the magnets on a
steel plate
when not in use.
Note:
We strongly recommend using gloves when handling the vehicle to
reduce magnetic pinching hazard.
Warning:
Avoid Magnetic Slamming.
Extreme care must be taken when
handling the vehicle, particularly when placing it onto a wall or into its storage
box. Without taking heed of the sudden pull of the magnetic field onto surface,
the VT100
™ can be slammed down hard causing damage to the vehicle. Using
a solid grip on the vehicle, we recommend touching down the vehicle by one
end first and then pivoting flat.
