Attach the control unit
The wheelchair driver controls all functions of the max-e with the control
unit
.
With a special holding device
the control unit can be mounted on
either the right or the left side of the wheelchair thus making it equally con-
venient for left and right-handed people
.
A special dentification
allows for the attachment of the control unit in in-
dividual positions particularly convenient for the user. You can slide the
control unit on the t-bar from one grid to the next. To lock the control unit on
the t-bar you need to turn the lock
counter-clockwise. That way the con-
trol unit cannot fall off the holding device
n.
Following connect the cable with the socket
of the control unit and the
drive unit
. Both components are connected now.

Driving with the max-e
When you turn on the max-e the drive unit´s axles emerge automatically. At
this point the motor shaft turns radially back and forth for a few seconds un-
til the toothed wheel and the toothed ring grip fully. At this point the wheel-
chair cannot be pushed manually any more
.

Starter protection
Please make sure that the joystick of the max-e is in neutral position before
you start driving
.
F
Start using the joystick only after the major screen appears on the dis-
play
.
2.5.2
Overload
Should the max-e be overloaded, e.g. on slopes or when the wheels block,
the electro-magnetic brakes become activated after 2 seconds and the devi-
ce stops. You hear a signal tone and the display shows “overload”. After
another 3 seconds the picture on the display returns to the main screen
.
F
In such case, please let go of the joystick and wait until the major screen
appears back on the display. Then you can continue driving while taking
into consideration the reason for the overload, e.g. remove the blockage
or turn around, if the slope is too steep, etc.
