the installation is completed start the machine with the drive wheels raised
from the ground to ensure that any installation error does not compromise
safety.

After the inverter turn-off, even with the key switch open, the internal
capacitors may remain charged for some time. For safe operation onto the
setup, it is recommended to disconnect the battery and to discharge the
capacitors by means of a resistor of about 10 – 100 Ohm bBatt and
-Batt terminals of the inverter.
1.2.2 OEM’s Responsibility
Zapi motor controllers are intended for controlling motors in electric vehicles.
These controllers are supplied to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for
incorporation into their vehicles and vehicle control systems.
Electric vehicles are subject to national and international standards of construction
and operation which must be observed. It is responsibility of the vehicle
manufacturer to identify the correct standards and to ensure that the vehicle meets
these standards. As a major electrical control component, the role of a Zapi motor
controller should be carefully considered and relevant safety precautions taken. It
has several features which can be configured to help the system integrator meeting
vehicle safety standards.
Zapi does not accept responsibility for incorrect application of its products.
