4.3 Using the batteries

Removing the battery pack
Place your fi ngers under the handle and pull it
upward. This will unlock the battery pack (fi gure
8).
Placing the battery pack
Place your fi ngers under the handle and
position the battery pack to the contacts of
the electronic housing. Push the battery pack
against the wheel until the battery pack audibly
and perceptibly clicks into the electronics
housing. Check if the battery is fully fi xed in the
electronics housing (fi gure 9).
Warning!
Make sure the wheel hub and battery pack
are clean and dry when inserting the battery
pack!
With the battery pack removed, some
openings are visible - do not push your
fi ngers in any openings to prevent possible
injuries or damages.

4.4 Driving - using the rims

Assist rim (A in fi gure 10)
This rim works the same as the rims on a
manual wheelchair. By using these Assist rims
the motor supports the forward and backward
movement. The support level is dependent on
the selected profi le and force applied to the rim.
Assist rim usage
When applying more force on the Assist rims,
the system will give more support. When less
force is applied on the Assist rim, the system
will give less support. In this way the required
speed can be controlled.
Braking with the Assist rim
Braking with the Assist rim is comparable with
braking with a manual wheelchair. When the
system is on, the power assist off ers additional
motor support when moving the rim backwards.
The user is part of the braking system.
