GHOST EPAC
Strong vibrations through use of your EPAC which is not in accordance with the designated
purpose, storage in an environment which is too hot (e.g. car interior in strong sunlight) and
falls with your EPAC may lead to internal short-circuits in the rechargeable battery pack and
therefore cause the rechargeable battery pack to catch fire.
•
Using your EPAC for its intended purpose (see section 2.4).
•
Store your EPAC only in rooms with an ambient temperature of between -10°C and +50 °C.
•

•
If flames or smoke come out of the down tube you must immediately leave your EPAC where it
is. Put out the fire with fire extinguishing equipment, if available.
•
If there is a danger that the fire will spread to neighbouring items, call the fire brigade
immediately.
