Switching On The System; Switching Off The System - Alber e-fix User Manual

8
The system needs to be switched off before attaching the e-fix
!
wheels to the wheelchair.
The e-fix wheels must not be able to be removed from the wheel
!
receiver [13] without pressing the releasing device [4]. Driving is
only permitted with e-fix wheels that are correctly engaged in the
wheel receiver [13].
Before every trip, check that your wheelchair parking brakes [6] are
!
working correctly. These need to be correctly adjusted to the e-fix
wheels and be able to prevent the wheelchair inadvertently rolling
away at any time.

2.2 Switching on the system

If the two e-fix wheels, as described in chapter 2.1, have been correctly attached to your
wheelchair and are engaged, you can now switch on the system using the control unit
[9] (see chapter 5.2.1) and start using your wheelchair.
If you are not yet familiar with the e-fix and its driving characterist-
!
ics you should start by reducing the maximum speed to a minimum
using the rotary switch [22] (see chapter 5.2.6).
When travelling with the e-fix you must observe the safety instruc-
!
tions and precautions in chapter 3.
When first starting up the system and switching on the control unit,
i
the language selection menu (see chapter 5.4) will appear in which
you can set your required language.

2.3 Switching off the system

Once you have completed your trip and will not be using your wheelchair for a long
period of time, you should always disconnect the e-fix. Firstly, this saves energy and
secondly, the e-fix is not inadvertently deployed by accidentally touching the joystick.
