05 1. Preparation.

1.1 Delivery

On receiving the product, please check it for completeness, lack of faults

and any transport damage. Inspect the goods in the presence of your

forwarder. Should transport damage have occurred, please arrange for

an inventory (determination of the faults) to be made in the presence of

the forwarder. Please send a complaint in writing to the specialist dealer

responsible.

1.2 Safety measures prior to use

The correct use of the product requires detailed and thorough instruction

of the user or the accompanying person. We ask you to read through the

Instructions for use carefully prior to initial commissioning of the product,

and to observe them. It is possible that product parts that get in contact

with the skin may heat up in the sun. Depending on the duration and in-

tensity of solar radiation, the surfaces of individual parts can heat up to

over 41°C and thus lead to slight burns in the event of direct skin contact.

Therefore cover these areas or protect the device from direct sunlight.

1.3 Safe disposal

In order to preserve and protect the environment, to prevent environmental

pollution and to improve the recycling of raw materials, please note the

disposal instructions in points 1.3.1 and 1.3.2.

1.3.1 Packaging

The packaging of the product should be kept for any future transport that

might be required. Should you have to return the product for repairs or in

case of a guarantee claim, please if possible use the original box so that

the product is optimally packaged. Otherwise, separate the packaging

materials for recycling according to their classiﬁcation.

Do not leave packaging materials unattended, as they are a possible source of

danger.

1.3.2 Product

At the end of the product life cycle, recycle the raw materials used in the product

according to their nature (see material information under point 2.1).

1.4 Where to store the Instructions for use

Please store these Instructions for use carefully and ensure that these In-

structions for use remain with the product in case of re-use. Should you

lose the instructions, you can always download an updated version at
