1.6 Permissible conditions of use/locations of operation
• Observe the permissible conditions of use of the wheelchair to which the e-motion wheels are attached (see wheelchair operating manual).
• In addition to observing the information provided on the e-motion, it is also imperative to observe the information provided by the
wheelchair manufacturer (e.g. maximum gradeability, maximum permissible height of obstacles, maximum user weight, maximum speed,
etc.). The lowest values always apply.
• Any limits regarding the operation of the wheelchair (e.g. maximum gradeability, maximum permissible height of obstacles, maximum
user weight etc.) must also be observed when using the e-motion.
• The e-motion must only be used at temperatures between -25°C and +50°C. As such, avoid exposing the e-motion to any heat sources
(such as intense sunlight), since this may cause its surfaces to reach high temperatures.
• Avoid using the wheelchair on soft ground (e.g. loose chipping, sand, mud, snow, ice or deep puddles).
• Take particular care to observe the safety instructions and hazard information provided in chapter 3.
Never drive without anti-tippers, and only remove them in order to drive over major obstacles. It is left to the judge-
ment of the driver whether to call an attendant for help when there is an increased risk that the wheelchair may tip
over.
Travelling without a pair of anti-tippers increases the risk of accidents, and thus injuries.
Alber GmbH accepts no liability for accidents caused by operation of the e-motion without a pair of anti-tippers.
The execution of “wheelie” movements (anti-tippers removed from wheelchair, e-motion wheels on the ground, front
wheels (castors) up in the air) is not permitted. Alber GmbH accepts no liability for accidents resulting from such
actions.
Especially when it is not in use, avoid exposing the e-motion to strong sunlight for long periods of time wherever
possible. This could cause the motor to heat up and, in extreme cases, prevent it from operating at full power.
Plastic parts also age quicker under intense sunlight.
In case of overheating: allow the wheels to cool down for at least 60 minutes.
1.7 Standard scope of delivery
