Safety

DANGER!
Risk of death or serious injury

Electric shock can cause death or serious injury

To avoid electric shock, inspect plug and cord for

cuts and/or frayed wires. Replace cut cords or frayed
wires immediately.

Risk of damage to the wheelchair

A failure in the electric system can lead to unusual
behavior such as continuous light, no light, or noises
from the magnetic brakes.

If a failure exists, switch off the remote and switch

it on again.

If a failure still exists, then disconnect or remove the

power source. Depending on the mobility device
model, you can either remove the battery packs or
disconnect the batteries from the power module. If in
doubt which cable to disconnect, contact your dealer.

In any case, contact your dealer.

2.3

Safety information on electromagnetic

interference

This electric vehicle was successfully tested in accordance with
International standards as to its compliance with Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) regulations. However, electromagnetic fields,
such as those generated by radio and television transmitters, and
cellular phones can influence the functions of electric vehicles. Also,
the electronics used in our vehicles can generate a low level of
electromagnetic interference, which however will remain within the
tolerance permitted by law. For these reasons we ask you to please
observe the following precautions:

WARNING!
Risk of malfunction due to electromagnetic
interference

Do not switch on or operate portable transceivers or

communication devices (such as radio transceivers or
cellular phones) when the vehicle is switched on.

Avoid getting near strong radio and television

transmitters.

In case the vehicle should be set in motion

unintentionally or the brakes are released, switch it
off immediately.

Adding electrical accessories and other components

or modifying the vehicle in any way can make it
susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Keep in
mind that there is no sure way to determine the effect
such modifications will have on the overall immunity
of the electronic system.

Report all occurrences of unintentional movement of

the vehicle, or release of the electric brakes to the
manufacturer.

2.4

Safety information on driving and freewheel

mode

DANGER!
Risk of death, serious injury, or damage

Malfunctioning joystick could cause unintended/erratic
movement resulting in death, serious injury, or damage

If unintended/erratic movement occurs, stop using

the wheelchair immediately and contact a qualified
technician.
