ELECTRICAL SHOCK

The Axle Power System is a state of the art product and is very safe to operate.

However, in a very unlikely scenario of electrical shock proceed with the following steps: Immediate action must be initiated after a person has received an electrical shock. DO NOT TOUCH THE VICTIM!

You can receive a shock from current flowing through the victim's body. The person may still be in contact with the electrical source. The source of electricity must be removed first.

CALL FOR EMERGENCY AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE! TURN THE VEHICLE’S ENGINE OFF!

Remove the source of electricity, if possible. If not, move the source away from you and the person, using a dry, nonconducting object made of card-board, plastic, or wood. The electrical wire should be cut with either an insulated instrument (e.g. wooden handled axe or cable cutters with heavy insulated handles) or by a rescuer wearing electrically insulated gloves and safety glasses. Whichever method is used, DO NOT LOOK AT THE WIRE while it is being cut. The ensuing flash can cause burns and blindness. After separating the victim from power source, check immediately for presence of a pulse and respiration. If the victim has no pulse, start CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) until the emergency medical assistance arrives. If the victim has a pulse, respiration may be restored by using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.


ASPHYXIATION

Move victim to fresh air and use Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to restore breathing, if necessary. Stay with victim until emergency personnel arrive.
