5.2.2 Switching off the system
Once you have completed your trip and you will not be using your wheelchair for a long
period of time, you should always disconnect the e-fix. Firstly, this saves energy and
secondly, the e-fix is not inadvertently deployed by accidentally touching the joystick.
Press button [19]. The control unit is switched off, the display [18] disappears.
Apply the parking brake of your wheelchair so that it cannot roll away.
5.2.3 Driving with the joystick
The e-fix is driven using the joystick [14] by means of which the driver can determine the
speed and the direction of travel.
Even slightly moving the joystick in the required travel direction starts travel at low
speed. This increases, the further the joystick is extended. The pre-set maximum speed
(see chapter 5.5) is achieved by fully extending the joystick. When travelling in reverse
the speed is automatically reduced to 50 per cent for safety reasons.
In the display [18] the speed is shown in position [60] as follows:
the pre-set speed as a green bar chart and briefly as a green number
current speed when driving as a white number
When travelling in reverse 0 km/h is displayed as a white number.
Start your first travelling attempt at a low speed to get used to the
driving characteristics of the e-fix.
Adapt the speed to the respective travelling situations. Reduce the
maximum speed, in particular in difficult driving conditions and in
indoor use to prevent accidents.
5.2.4 Spotlight
On the underside of the control unit there is a spotlight [21]. This enables items that are
located relatively close to the control unit to be illuminated. The spotlight is switched on
or off by briefly pressing button [15].
The spotlight is used exclusively to provide minimal illumination of
the area around the control unit.
When travelling at night in public road traffic you must adhere to
the national provisions of the respective country and attach lights to
your wheelchair if applicable.
