Please check whether there are specific regulations regarding the securing of wheel-
chairs and wheels for transport in your jurisdiction and strictly adhere to these regu-
lations.
Alber GmbH and its agents shall not be liable for any damage resulting from non-com-
pliance with these instructions.
If you wish to transport your wheelchair in its entirety, without dismantling the
wheels, the wheelchair must be protected in accordance with the guidelines or spe-
cifications of the wheelchair manufacturer. The adjacent diagram is just an example.
Using the wheelchair as a vehicle seat when the e-fix wheels are
attached is not permitted.
2.6 Additional instructions on driving 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 or
removed. You can therefore choose to continue to use the conventional, manually oper-
ated wheels of your wheelchair in addition to the electrically operated e-fix wheels.
The parking brakes [6] 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 [6].
The diameter of the stub axle of the e-fix wheels is 12.7 mm (1/2“).
You must not use manual wheelchair wheels with other stub axle
diameters.
2.6.2 Travelling with the e-fix wheels in pushing mode
In addition to motorised operation, the e-fix wheels can also be manually operated, for
example to push the wheelchair. If your wheelchair is equipped with 12 inch wheels, it
should be pushed by an attendant.
Pushing mode is activated as follows:
Switch off the system at the control unit (see chapter 5.2.2).
Turn the coupling ring [5] anticlockwise until it stops. A red indicator will now be
shown in the viewing panel [3].
You are now in “pushing 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 idle:
Ensure you activate the parking brakes [6] that are fitted to your
wheelchair and adjusted to the e-fix wheels. This prevents the
wheelchair inadvertently rolling away.
In pushing mode:
Using the e-fix wheels in combination with a puller, for example, is
not permitted. Use the manual wheels of your wheelchair for this
purpose.
