Under certain circumstances, the e-fix may interfere with other electrical equipment such as anti-shoplifting barriers in department
stores.
•
You must not use the e-fix on escalators or moving walkways.
•
When moving at maximum speed, do not suddenly change your direction of travel to the left or right, as this could cause the wheelchair
to tip sideways.
•
Reduce your speed when turning a corner.
•
If you intend to stop in your wheelchair on an uphill or downhill gradient, your wheelchair must be parked across this slope and the
parking brakes activated.
•
After every trip or when your wheelchair is idle, activate the parking brakes to prevent the wheelchair from rolling away inadvertently.
•
Never navigate across downhill slopes.
•
Never reach into the front wheels of your wheelchair or the spokes of the e-fix wheels when travelling.
•
Apply the e-fix brake carefully and adjust your speed accordingly (i.e. not suddenly).
•
When travelling in a vehicle, always sit in the vehicle's installed seats with the appropriate restraint systems. Failure to comply with
this guideline may result in injury to you and your co-passengers in case of an accident.
•
When travelling in vehicles, secure your wheelchair and the e-fix wheels according to the currently applicable statutory requirements
and legislation.
•
When navigating public roads and pavements in the Federal Republic of Germany, the provisions of the German Road Traffic Regulations
and the Road Traffic Licensing Regulation are to be observed at all times. In other countries, the locally applicable national provisions
are to be observed at all times.
•
The e-fix is only intended for transporting persons with restricted mobility and must not be used for any other purpose, e.g. for trans-
porting goods or as a plaything for children.
•
The operation of the e-fix is prohibited in the vicinity of strong magnetic fields, such as those induced by holding solenoids, trans-
formers, tomographs, etc.
•
Powered wheelchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emit-
ted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. The inter-
ference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered wheelchair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended direc-
tions. It can also permanently damage the powered wheelchair‘s control system. Each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to certain
intensity.
•
Avoid using the e-fix in adverse conditions, such as storms, hail and high undergrowth.
Never travel without anti-tippers, and only remove them in order to navigate major obstacles. It is left to the
judgement of the user as to whether to call an attendant for help when there is an increased risk that the wheel-
chair may tip over.
Travelling without a pair of anti-tippers increases the risk of accidents, and thus injuries. Alber GmbH accepts no liab-
ility for accidents caused by operation of the e-fix without a pair of anti-tippers.
The execution of “wheelie” movements (anti-tippers removed from wheelchair, e-fix wheels on the ground, front
wheels (castors) up in the air) is not permitted. Alber GmbH accepts no liability for accidents resulting from such
actions.
After travelling with the e-fix, note the following:
•
Switch off the e-fix when not in use to prevent inadvertently triggering travel impulses when the joystick is touched and to prevent the
self-discharge of the battery pack.
•
Whenever the wheelchair is at a standstill, apply the parking brakes.
•
If possible, recharge the battery pack of your e-fix after each trip.
3.4 Obstacles
•
As far as possible, always use reverse mode when negotiating obstacles (e.g. kerbs).
Please refer to the wheelchair operating manual for the maximum permitted obstacle height.
•
Attention! When navigating obstacles in reverse, the Alber anti-tippers cannot be guaranteed to be fully functional. For this reason,
travel slowly and carefully in reverse until the e-fix wheels touch the obstacle. Once you reach this point, negotiate the obstacle care-
fully. It is up to you to decide whether to enlist the help of another person.
