4.9 Lifting the power assist
wheels
Caution!
In order to mount or lift the power assist
wheels, only hold them at the tyre or Assist
rim (figure 20). Never use the Drive rim,
the wheel handle or battery pack handle for
lifting the wheel (figure 21 and 22). This may
cause severe damage to the sensor system.
Warning!
If you do not feel secure lifting the power
assist wheel due to the weight of it, ask an
attendant to lift the wheel.
4.10 Safety functionalities
For your safety, several safety functionalities
are implemented in the system. Most of them
will not be noticed, but some can become
obvious in case of unintended use. These
intentional functionalities are described here.
1.
When the wheel handle is in open position at
startup, no support is possible. The system
will detect this situation, give 1 beep.
2.
A continuous Power assist request during
about ¾ wheel rotation will disable the
Power assist functionality (e.g. when the
Assist rim is blocked). Pushing one of the
profile buttons once will enable the function
again.
3.
Limitation of speed is settable (with a
maximum of 15 km/h). At this point the
Power assist stops accelerating and will
maintain the speed. Exceeding this speed is
not possible.
4.
If during the activation of the system the
Drive and/or Assist rim has a displacement
from the initial rest position, both of the rims
must be placed to the initial rest position
first, before the function can be used.
System will give 4 beeps wen not OK.
5.
In case you are charging the main batteries,
the motor is disabled.
