Sound Guide - Decon wheel e-move User Manual

Important
• If you propel your wheelchair applying the same amount of force as for a normal manual
wheelchair, you will notice that, thanks to the e-move system, each push will take you much
further. Be careful in the beginning when using your wheelchair until you have learnt how it
operates.
• Always switch off the power and apply the brakes when you want to get in or out of the
wheelchair.
• Do not touch the switch when using the wheelchair except for when you want to stop. If you
switch off the power when the wheelchair is moving quickly, the chair will stop very
abruptly which may create a risk of you falling out of the chair.
• Do not balance an e-move chair on the drive wheels using the hand rims. This starts the
electric motors and you will find it difficult to keep your balance.
• The handrims may become slippery, which may make steering the chair difficult if your
hands are wet or if you use the chair in the rain.
• If you do not move the handrims for five minutes, the system switches off automatically to
save the battery.
• Remember that the e-move system increases the width of your wheelchair by approximately
5 cm. This may prevent you from going through narrow doorways, which did not previously
cause any problems.
• Remember that the point of balance is changed on e-move chairs compared with other
models as the battery is fitted on the rear of the chair.
