5. Information on driving mode
The driving lever [8] is similar to a car‘s accelerator.
In the initial position the e-fix is stationary. Driving mode starts when the driving lever
[8] is pulled. The speed increases, the further the driving lever is pulled. The maximum
achievable speed is pre-selected by the adjustment wheel [5] and is maximum 6 km/h
forwards, reverse travel is a maximum of 4.2 km/h.
If these speeds are too high for you, your authorised specialist dealer can reprogramme
the maximum speed in the e-fix software.
The electronics in the handle register the movements made by the operators hand. A
slight movement of the lever to the left or the right is converted into a drive command
for the e-fix wheels so that you can drive around bends without a great deal of effort.
Tilting or lifting the wheelchair using attendant control or the additional handle
(optional accessory) is not permitted.
Please observe the information provided by the wheelchair manufacturer on tilting or
lifting the wheelchair.
6. Information on the panic function
If you need to stop the e-fix immediately in dangerous situations then firmly pull the
driving lever [8] beyond the normal detectable limit. This triggers an immediate enforced
shut-down of the e-fix and sounds an acoustic warning signal.
After releasing the driving lever [8], you can immediately continue driving with the e-fix.
7. Removing the attendant control from the wheelchair
• Switch off the e-fix via the control unit (see chapter 5.2.2).
• Remove the attendant control plug [3] from the adapter cable socket [2].
• Release the fixing lever [9] (turn it several times) and remove the attendant control
from the holder on the wheelchair.
Warning
Slight pressure applied to the right or left of the handle of the intu-
itive attendant control results in the wheelchair moving to the right
or left respectively. Equally, it is sufficient to lightly touch the drive
lever to activate it. Therefore always switch off attendant control, if
it is not in use. This ensures that the wheelchair does not begin to
move inadvertently.
Never hang any objects such as handbags, shopping bags, etc. on the
attendant control, whether the wheelchair is in driving mode or not.
Such objects might activate the control lever or trigger the sensors
so that the wheelchair is inadvertently set into motion.
Before inserting the plug [3] into the socket [2], ensure that both
parts are clean and there are no metallic particles on them. If you
detect such particles, use a dry and clean cloth to remove them.
The attendant control plug [3] is magnetic. Therefore prevent the
plug coming into contact with medical implants, electronic storage
media, bank cards or similar items.
