CHAPTER 7 - WARNING SUMMARY
SK77898/2
1 Introduction
This section summarizes all of the very important warnings that appear throughout
the text of this manual. Do not install, maintain or operate the VR2 control system
without reading, understanding and observing the following warnings. Failure to
observe these warnings could result in UNSAFE CONDITIONS for the user of a wheelchair
or affect the reliability of the control system. PG Drives Technology accepts no liability
for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with any of the conditions in the
warnings listed below. Failure to observe these warnings will invalidate the VR2 warranty.
The wheelchair manufacturer may wish to use this section as a check list, to ensure
the risk areas identified below have been addressed within their own wheelchair
designs and associated documentation.
2 Warnings
2.1 Driving Technique
The wheelchair user must be capable of driving a wheelchair
safely. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind
arising from failure to comply with this condition. Chapter 1
section 5.2.
2.2 Hazards
Although the VR2 control system is designed to be extremely
reliable and each unit is rigorously tested during
manufacture, the possibility of a system malfunction always
exists (however small the probability). Under some conditions
of system malfunction the control system must (for safety
reasons) stop the chair instantaneously. If there is any
possibility of the user falling out of the chair as a result of
a sudden braking action, it is imperative that a restraining
device such as a seat belt is supplied with the wheelchair
and that it is in use at all times when the wheelchair is in
motion. PGDT accept no liability for losses of any kind
arising from the unexpected stopping of the wheelchair, or
arising from the improper use of the wheelchair or control
system.
