2 Safety
All of the very latest information relating to product safety and any product recalls
can be found on our website at www.DIETZ-Power.com.
Warning
Follow the instructions given under warnings! Failure to exercise due care in
following these instructions may result in physical injury, damage to the wheelchair
or damage to the environment.
2.1. Temperature
Warning
• Avoid any physical contact with the motors of the wheelchair at all times. When
the wheelchair is in use, the motors are in constant motion and can reach high
temperatures. Any physical contact with the motors could result in burns. After
use, the motors cool down slowly.
• Ensure that the wheelchair is not exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of
time when not in use. Some parts of the wheelchair (such as the seat, backrest
and armrests) can become hot if exposed to the sun for too long. This may
result in burns or skin sensitisation.
2.2. Moving parts
Warning
Wheelchairs contain moving and rotating parts (gure 1). Contact with moving
parts may result in serious physical injury or damage to the wheelchair. You should
avoid any contact with the moving parts of the wheelchair.

2.3. Electromagnetic radiation
The standard version of your powered wheelchair has been tested for compliance
with the applicable requirements relating to electromagnetic radiation (EMC
requirements).
Warning
Despite testing, the following cannot be ruled out:
• electromagnetic radiation interfering with the wheelchair. For example mobile
telephones, large medical devices or other sources of electromagnetic radiation
• the powered wheelchair interfering with electromagnetic elds. For example
shop doors, burglar alarm systems in shops or garage door openers.
• in some congurations equipped with a R-net controller, where it is possible
that extreme electrical discharge situations due to static electricity, may cause
a fault message (‘ISM over-current’) ashing on the screen. If this occurs simply
turn o your wheelchair for a few seconds and back on to clear the fault.
In the unlikely event of such problems arising, please notify your dealer
immediately.
