CAUTION!
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If there is an emergency it is possible to disconnect the power supply charge by switching off all the switches on the
control panel. On the machines that are equipped you may press the E.P.O. button.
PEOPLE HIT BY ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE
Ask immediately for the help of a qualified and trained person.
When a rather high voltage and high intensity electric hit a body current this can provoke burns. The burns appear in
and around the areas where the current enters and exits the body. Even if only small burns are visible on the skin, the
tissues beneath could be seriously damaged. In any case, and however serious the burn may be, NEVER TOUCH the
injured person with bare hands until you are sure that the electricity has been cut off.
SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS
Redness, edema, skin burns or skins carbonisation in the areas where the electricity entered and exited the body.
The person may loose consciousness.
The person may stop breathing or his/her heart may stop beating.
Shock symptoms.
FIRST AID
Cut off the power supply and move the injured person away from the source of contact. Call immediately for an
ambulance and, if necessary, for the help of a technician specialised in electrical equipment.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME INTO CONTACT WITH CORROSIVE LIQUIDS
Ask immediately for qualified expert help.
All batteries installed in this system are completely dry and no corrosive liquids leak out of their cases if the
batteries are in perfect condition. If the storage batteries get damaged in any way, this could provoke the leakage of the
electrolyte or a short circuit of the internal cells; the electrolyte is corrosive and causes burns.
SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS
A piercing sensation on the skin
The skin will appear reddened sometimes with small blisters and exfoliation.
FIRST AID
Place the injured area under a strong jet of cold running water for at least 10 minutes so as to avoid further damage
to the tissues. N.B. Make sure that the water can flow away freely as the substance that caused the burn contaminates it.
While swilling the injured area be careful not to splash yourself with contaminated water. Call for an ambulance
immediately.
.
If the electrolyte comes into contact with eyes you must intervene immediately by washing them with running water
until expert medical help arrives.
If the battery electrolyte is swallowed it is advisable to make the injured person drink plenty of milk or water.
IN ALL CASES ASK FOR EXPERT MEDICAL HELP
