13.9 Lighting maintenance
WARNING!
Maintaining lights and indicators is a safety critical task.
If your lights and indicator system shows a defect, please
contact your Sunrise Medical Approved Dealer.
All lights and indicators are state of the art LED low energy,
no maintenance units. There are no light bulbs used. The
high intrinsic reliability of these units means that they are
extremely unlikely to fail under normal usage. If a failure
should occur, (may be as a result of an impact), the
damaged light assembly must be replaced in its entirety.
The individual LED’s cannot be replaced.
CAUTION!
We recommend the use of Sunrise Medical authorised
spare parts only.
NOTE: Be advised that all lighting circuits are electronically
protect ed. In the event of a short circuit current will be
limited to a safe level. Once the fault is removed the system
resets automatically.
13.10 Electrical connections
When inspecting electrical connections, pay attention to
the battery connections, the connection of batteries to
power loom and plug in sockets for the joystick, control box
