2.7 Transportation and storage of the wheels (as luggage in a vehicle)
Do not lift or hold the e-motion wheels by the push rims [9] when transporting the
wheels. This can damage the sensors attached to them.
Instead, reach into the opening between the battery pack and wheel hub as shown in the
graphic illustration or carry the e-motion wheel by its rim. There is no risk of damaging
the wheel at these points.
Pay special attention to the fins [7] and the stub axle [8] on the rear of the wheel when
putting or placing down the wheel. Both parts may not be damaged.
The specifications of the respective wheelchair manufacturer regarding the securing of
the complete wheelchair and/or its individual parts apply for transport.
Remove the e-motion wheels from the wheelchair and transport them individually.
During transport, the wheels must be secured against moving or flying about in all cases,
so that they cannot lead to danger for the occupants during a braking maneuver. To
secure the wheels, fasten them in the vehicle with sufficiently strong fabric straps as
shown in the graphic illustration.
If there are national regulations regarding the securing of wheelchairs and wheels in your
country, these must be observed.
The national legal regulations apply in all cases and observe all traffic laws.
Ulrich Alber GmbH and its representatives reject any liability for accidents of any kind
and their consequences, which arise as a result of the non-observance of these instruc-
tions.
If you aim to transport the wheelchair as a whole without removing the wheels you have
to protect the wheelchair according to the guidelines of the wheelchair manufacturer. The
drawing is only an example how you can do it.
If you intend to use the wheelchair
as a seat in vehicles please observe strictly the
requirements and the instructions therefore in
chapter 11.2.
