5. Information on travel mode
The travel lever [87] is similar to a car’s accelerator.
The e-fix is stationary in the initial position. Travel mode starts when the travel lever
[87] is pulled. The speed increases, the further the travel lever is pulled. The maximum
achievable speed is pre-selected via the adjustment wheel [85] and is maximum 6 km/h
forwards, while reverse travel is maximum 4.2 km/h.
If these speeds are too high for you, your specialist dealer can reprogramme the max-
imum speed in the e-fix software.
The electronics in the handle register the movements made by the user’s hand. A slight
deflection of the lever to the left or the right is converted into a travel command for the
e-fix wheels so that you can navigate bends without a great deal of effort.
Tilting or lifting the wheelchair using the attendant control or the additional handle
(optional accessory) is not permitted.
Please observe the information provided by the wheelchair manufacturer on tilting or lift-
ing the wheelchair.
6. Information on the panic function
If you need to stop the e-fix immediately in hazardous situations, firmly pull the travel
lever [87] beyond the normal perceptible stop. This triggers an immediate forced shut-
down of the e-fix and sounds an acoustic warning signal.
After releasing the travel lever [87], you can continue travelling with the e-fix immedi-
ately.
7. Removing the attendant control from the wheelchair
•
Use the e-fix’s control unit to switch it off (see chapter 5.2.2).
•
Remove the magnetic plug [61] of the attendant control from the socket [60] of the
cable of the interface [11].
•
Release the fixing lever [88] (turn it several times!) and remove the attendant control
from the holder on the wheelchair.
Warning
Applying light pressure to the right or left of the handle of the intu-
itive attendant control is sufficient to result in the wheelchair mov-
ing to the right or left respectively. Equally, it is sufficient to lightly
touch the travel lever to activate it. For this reason, always switch
off the attendant control, if it is not in use. This ensures that the
wheelchair does not begin to move inadvertently.
Never hang any objects (such as handbags, shopping bags, etc.) on
the attendant control, irrespective of whether the wheelchair is in
travel mode or at a standstill. Such objects might activate the travel
lever or trigger the sensors and thus set the wheelchair in motion
inadvertently.
Before inserting the magnetic plug [61] into the socket [60] of the
interface, ensure that both parts are clean and there are no metallic
particles on them. If there are any metallic particles, remove these
with a clean, dry cloth.
