2. Starting up
The e-fix components and any accessories you ordered will be fitted to your wheelchair
by Alber or your specialist dealer and delivered so that they are ready for operation.
Therefore, both sides of your wheelchair have new brackets [1] with wheel receivers for
the two e-fix wheels to be inserted (see chapter 2). Please keep the manual wheelchair
wheels you have used until now so that they can be used again if needed.
The e-fix control unit should have already been set up by your specialist dealer to your
local language. If this is not the case you will be prompted when you first start up the
device to set the local language (see chapter 5.4).
On delivery of your e-fix your specialist dealer will show you how to operate the system
and any accessories you ordered. You will also be given this operating manual which, in
addition to the technical information, also contains important driving instructions.
The brackets [1] must be attached to the wheelchair by Alber or its
authorised specialist dealers.
Regularly check the brackets [1] to ensure that they are firmly
secured to the wheelchair. If a screw connection has become loose,
contact your authorised specialist dealer to have it retightened.
Your wheelchair brakes are adjusted to the two e-fix wheels. If the
wheelchair is operated with manual wheels, the brakes may need to
be readjusted to these wheels.
Alber GmbH provides brackets of various design (single-part or
multiple-part brackets). The bracket shown in the diagrams of this
operating manual may, therefore, deviate from that attached to your
wheelchair.
The e-fix is quickly brought to a standstill in the event of a system
failure or other serious errors in the system, as this is the safe state
in accordance with the standard. The wheelchair user must be able,
both physically and in terms of his reaction time, to counteract the
braking acceleration forces that occur in this regard. If the wheel-
chair user is not able to do this, straps must be worn for trips with
the e-fix.
Regularly check that the anti-tippers are still seated securely in the
mounting fork [71] of the bracket. Check that the support angle
[77] can still move freely. If screw connections have loosened or
have even come loose or if the support angle is no longer able to
move freely, contact your authorised specialist dealer to rectify the
situation.
