WheelDrive Rev.G
Warning!
While using the Drive rim, beware not to
put your fingers too far inwards between
the spokes of the wheel. Pay attention with
clothes that can get caught in the spokes.
If you do not feel secure, it is advised to use
power assist spoke protection. Only use the
original spoke guard that is developed for the
WheelDrive.
Before driving, be sure the tyres are
sufficiently inflated (up to 6-10 bar).
Before driving, be sure the batteries are
sufficiently charged.
Always use the Drive rims in a smooth
and uniform way to get the best driving
experience.
Warning!
The Assist rim is connected to a sensor. Do
not use the Assist rim to lean on, for making
a transfer from or to your wheelchair.
Drive rim (B in figure 11)
This rim works differently than the Assist rim.
When using these rims the motor will give
continuous support. As long as the Drive rim
is pushed forward, the wheelchair will move
forward. If the Drive rim is pushed backwards,
the wheelchair will move backwards. When the
Drive rim is released, the motor support will
stop. The wheelchair will not immediately stop,
but gradually brake on the motor. If the system
is turned off, the Drive rims have no function.
Drive rim usage
The Drive rim can be pushed forward and
backwards until an end position; in this position
the speed is maximum. If the Drive rim is
carefully pushed forward, the speed increases
according to how far the rim is pushed forward
.
Braking with the Drive rim
By pushing the rim carefully backwards, the
speed decreases. This way you can break with
the Drive rim. By moving the rim even more
backwards, the wheelchair will drive backwards.
The acceleration and maximum speed differs
per driving profile.
The system automatically stops accelerating
when the maximum speed setting is reached,
and tries to keep the maximum speed constant
at this value.
