2.4 Removing the wheels
Generally, the two e-fix wheels will remain on your wheelchair. If they need to be
removed (for example, for transport purposes), please proceed as follows:
• If you have not already done so, switch off the control unit (see chapter 5.2.2).
• Ensure that the wheel is engaged (see chapter 2.1).
• Lift your wheelchair by its push handles.
• Press the release catch [4] in the centre of the wheel hub (the coupling ring [5] must
not under any circumstances be turned at the same time) and pull the e-fix wheel
carefully from the wheelchair.
• Proceed in accordance with instructions provided by the manufacturer of your anti-
tippers.
The coupling ring [5] must not under any circumstances by turned
whilst pushing the release catch [4] as this can cause damage to the
wheel. The wheel can then no longer be removed.
The e-fix wheel must be engaged to remove it from the wheelchair.
2.5 Transporting and storing the wheels as vehicle luggage
• Before removing the e-fix wheels, the control unit must be switched off.
• When laying the e-fix wheels down or setting them aside, take care of the stub axle
[11] and the socket [10] on the rear of the wheel. Neither part should be damaged.
• To transport the wheelchair, follow the instructions of the wheelchair manufacturer.
You might need to secure the wheelchair or certain components.
• We recommend always removing the e-fix wheels from the wheelchair and transporting
them individually.
• The wheels should be stored or transported on their front side (on the push rims) or
standing up.
• During transport, the e-fix wheels must be properly secured so that they do not pose
a risk to the driver or passengers in the event of a sudden brake manoeuvre. To secure
the wheels we recommend securing them in the vehicle with sufficiently robust straps
as shown in the diagram. Please note that this is a non-binding recommendation (we
accept no liability).
