Warnings & Cautions
WARNING
A warning means that injury or death is possible
if the instructions are not obeyed.
CAUTION
A caution means that damage
to equipment is possible.
Note
A note is added to give more
information, usually in a procedure.
WARNING
: Keep hands, long hair and equipment away from propeller. The propeller spinning at
high power settings creates significant suction within 16 inches (40 cm) of the nozzle inlet and can
draw in hands, hair or anything within range. The DPV is equipped with safety features that will
stop the propeller rotation when enough resistance is present, but injury is still possible.
WARNING
: Always rotate the trigger lock tab to block trigger operation AND adjust the speed
control lever to OFF when not in use to avoid accidental operation.
WARNING
:
Never allow the battery to charge unattended or attempt to charge a damaged
battery. The Lithium Ion battery has a high energy density and can catch fire or explode if
incorrectly wired, abused or damaged. Only recharge in a safe location, free of flammable
materials, under direct supervision and only using the supplied charger. Do not attempt to charge
the battery immediately after fully discharging at high power. The battery will heat up the most
during the end of a deep discharge and should be allowed to cool for one hour before
recharging. For the best battery life, avoid deeply discharging the battery, if possible.
WARNING
:
Do not leave the DPV battery (alone or installed in DPV) in direct sunlight or a hot car.
Temperatures of 140°F (60°C) or above can damage the battery, resulting in fire or explosion.
Internal temperatures of a car in the sun can easily exceed 140°F (60°C)
WARNING
:
Do not attempt to charge the battery when they are at or below freezing
(32°F/0°C). Permanent damage to the batteries will result, decreasing both battery safety and
capacity. While the outside of the DPV may be above freezing, the battery may not. Ensure ample
time is spent in a warm environment for thermal equilibrium across the pack before charging,
following exposure to freezing temperatures.
