Safety Precautions
7.0
•
The Hand Warmer is intended to be fitted on any power wheelchair with 24V connection.
•
Incorrect use or installation may lead to risk of injury to the user and damage to the
wheelchair or other property.
•
In order to reduce these risks, you should carefully read this manual, paying attention to the
safety instructions and warnings.
•
Any unauthorized use of the product may lead to increased risk of accident. Carefully follow
the recommendations in this manual in order to prevent accidents from use.
•
The Hand Warmer unit is a non-serviceable part.
•
Always contact your dealer or service technician for questions concerning the operation or
adjustment of the Hand Warmer.
•
The Hand Warmer continuously measures the temperature and supply voltage. When a
fault is detected the device will switch itself off. If there is an undetected fault, the interface
contains an additional internal fast blow fuse of 4A and a PTC fuse of 3A.
CAUTION
At full power the Hand Warmer will produce warm air (up to 70°C/158°F),
it is advised to leave a minimum distance between the hand and the
warmer of 100mm (4in).
CAUTION
The Hand Warmer’s air inlet and outlet are both at the front. Leave at least
a distance of minimal 50mm (2in) between the front of the Hand Warmer
and any object.
WARNING
The Hand Warmer has an open structure at the front. Mount the Hand
Warmer in a way that water cannot enter into the interface. Some drops of
water will not cause problems, however excess water must be avoided.
WARNING
The XLR connector is internally fused with a fuse of 5A. This is necessary
because the wire gauge cannot carry more current. The XLR connector
should not be cut in order to make a connection directly to the wheelchair
batteries unless a fuse of 5A is added.
