2.6 Additional instructions for travel mode
2.6.1 Travelling using the manual wheelchair wheels
Chapter 2 has already explained how the e-fix wheels are attached to your wheelchair and
removed from it. You can therefore choose to continue to use the conventional, manually
operated wheels of your wheelchair in addition to the electrically operated e-fix wheels.
The parking brakes fitted to your wheelchair are adjusted to the
e-fix wheels. When using your wheelchair with its manual wheels,
you may therefore need to readjust the parking brakes.
The diameter of the stub axle of the e-fix wheels is 12.7 mm (1/2").
Manual wheelchair wheels must not be used with other stub axle
diameters.
2.6.2 Travelling using the e-fix wheels in push mode
In addition to motorised operation, the e-fix wheels can also be manually operated, for
example for push mode. This should be done by an attendant.
Push mode is activated as follows:
•
Switch off the system at the control unit (see chapter 5.2.2).
•
Turn the coupling ring [7] on the left-hand wheel towards the rear (L), turn the right-
hand wheel towards the front (R) to the stop;
the release mechanism [6] must not,
under any circumstances, be pressed in the process.
A red marker is now visible in
the viewing panel [5].
•
You are now in “push mode" and the wheelchair can be operated manually.
•
If you mistakenly try to control the e-fix wheels in manual mode using the control
unit, an error message will be shown in the control unit display (see chapter 6).
When at a standstill:
Ensure that you activate the parking brakes that are fitted to your
wheelchair and adjusted to the e-fix wheels. This prevents the
wheelchair inadvertently rolling away.
In push mode:
Using the e-fix wheels in combination with a towing device, for
example, is not permitted. Use the manual wheels of your wheel-
chair for this purpose.
