4.2 Charging the battery pack
The orientation of the sensors is checked during the charge process; for this reason,
neither compression nor tensile forces may be exerted on the push rim during this time.
Make sure during each charge process that both push rims are free from any load or
weight. If the push rims was accidentally exposed to any forces during the charge proc-
ess and the sensor orientation was therefore misadjusted, please proceed as follows:
Do not expose the push rim to any loads, that is, neither to tensile or compression
•
forces.
Carry out the charge process once more for approx. 10 minutes; this will readjust the
•
sensors.
Complete the charge process.
•
The correct charging process on the e-motion wheels is described below.
Open the rubber cover [2] attached on the wheel hub above the charge socket [3].
•
Push the charger plug [27] into the charger socket [3]. •
Push the power cable of the charger only now into an outlet. •
Depending on the remaining capacity in the batteries, one or several LEDs on the •
wheel come on (see also Chapter 5.1).
All five LEDs come on if the battery back is fully charged.
•
Pull the power plug of the charger from the socket. •
Pull the charger plug [27] only now from the charger socket [3]. •
Close the charger socket [3] again with the rubber cover [2]. •
When the e-motion wheels are not used for some time (more than
1 day), the charger must first be disconnected from the dine supply
socket and then from the battery pack.
Always check the charge status of the battery packs each time you
prepare to drive. They should be fully charged before beginning to
drive.
Please follow also the notes and instructions in the manual accom-
panying the charger.
The e-motion wheel shuts off automatically if the charger plug [27]
is pulled or removed from the charger socket [3].
If a fault occurs during the charging process, all 5 LEDs flash at the
same time. Proceed accordingly.
If the e-motion wheels remain attached to the wheelchair during
charging, switch off both wheels before beginning with the charge
process and secure the wheelchair with its parking brakes against
rolling away unintentionally.
If you disregard this and the wheels roll away during the charging
process, an acoustic warning signal sounds (several beeps) to alert
you to this critical safety condition.
Remove the rubber covers [2] only to charge the battery pack.
Attach the rubber covers [2] again to the wheel hub after the charg-
ing process is completed.
