2.1 Installing the wheels
As described at the beginning, the two e-fix wheels [4] should remain on the wheelchair
at all times. However, if they have been removed, you must proceed as follows when you
re-attach them (with the help of an attendant if necessary):
•
If you have not already done so, switch off the system at the control unit (see
chapter 5.2.2).
•
Ensure that the wheel is engaged (see also the bottom left picture and the adjacent
explanations).
•
Press the release mechanism [6] in the centre of the wheel hub (
the
coupling ring
[7] must not, under any circumstances, be turned at the same time
) and, at the
same time, push
- the stub axle [9] of the e-fix wheel into the wheel retainer [2] and
- the wheel plug [8] of the e-fix wheel into the wheel plug socket [3].
The coupling ring [7] must not, under any circumstances, be turned
while pressing the release mechanism [6] as this can cause damage
to the wheel. It is then no longer possible to remove the wheel.
The e-fix wheel must be engaged in order to attach it to the wheel-
chair.
•
Check whether the e-fix wheel can be pulled out of the wheel retainer [2] without
pressing the release mechanism [6]. If so, the e-fix wheel is not sitting correctly in
the wheel retainer [2] and needs to be inserted again as described above.
•
Attach the second e-fix wheel on the other side of the wheelchair.
•
Check the colour displayed in the viewing panel [5] of the e-fix wheel. The colours
green or red indicate the respective set operating mode. The following indications mean:
- green: The wheel is engaged; motorised operation is active.
- red:
The wheel is disengaged; motorised operation is not possible. The wheel
must be moved manually.
•
For more details regarding the operating modes, see subsequent chapters.
•
To change the operating mode you need to rotate the coupling ring [7] by about
40 degrees around its axis until it stops.
In these few steps, you have attached the e-fix wheels to your wheelchair. To start
motorised travel you need to select the "green" operating mode on the e-fix wheel and
then switch on the system using the control unit (see chapter 5.2.1).
