10 Safety and Misuse Warnings
All warnings throughout this Installation Manual must be read and understood. If
in doubt ask for advice.
This DX component must not be used other than in the manner described in this
Installation Manual.
The completed installation must be thoroughly checked, and all programmable
options must be correctly adjusted for safe operation prior to use.
Pass on to user:
A warning must be conveyed to the wheelchair user that the controller could
cause the chair to come to a sudden stop. In situations where this may affect
the safety of the user, this will require the fitting and wearing of a seat belt.
The DX control system is fully programmable to optimise performance and
safety. Do not operate the wheelchair unless you have full control. Ensure
that the chair is correctly programmed for your needs and environment and
ask your dealer to adjust if necessary. Always choose a Drive Program that
you feel safe with and that is compatible with your environment.
Do not operate the DX System if it behaves erratically, or shows abnormal
response heating, smoke or arcing. Turn the system off, disconnect the
battery or open the battery overload switch, and consult your Service Agent.
Do not operate the DX System if the battery is nearly flat as a dangerous
situation may result due to loss of power in an inopportune place.
Ensure the controller is turned off when not in use.
No connector pins should be touched, as contamination or damage due to
electrostatic discharge may result. Dummy sockets in unused DXBUS
connectors should be left in place unless a new module is added to the
system.
Report any malfunctions immediately to your Service Agent.
