3.1 Critical Safety Information
Please read all safety information before installing or operating your
electric motor. Severe injury, damage, or even death can occur as a
result of improper usage.
There is a risk of death or severe injury from
electric shock- use caution and do not touch any uninsulated wires
or damaged parts.
• Do not use damaged batteries.
• If wiring is frayed or broken, do not touch it.
• If repair work is needed to the electrical components of your product,
do not attempt to do it yourself.
• If there is any problem with the system, turn off the power
immediately and avoid touching the metal components.
There is a risk of explosion which could result
in death, serious injury, or property damage due to the production
of oxyhydrogen gas from the battery.
• If the battery becomes submerged in water deeper than one meter
for a short period of time, do not attempt to recover the battery, and
refer to the safety instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
• If the battery has been submerged in shallow water, less than a meter,
for more than 30 minutes, do not attempt to recover the battery, and
refer to the safety instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
Electromagnetic radiation may cause death or
severe injuries to people with cardiac pacemakers. Those with
pacemakers should not get too close to the motor and should
consult their physician about the proper distance for safety.
