2. Starting up
On delivery, your Esprit is ready for use with all standard operating components and any
optional accessories you may have ordered.
There are brackets [1] on both sides of the wheelchair with wheel retainers from which
the two wheels can be removed and re-inserted for transport purposes (see chapter 2).
Usually, both wheels will however remain on the wheelchair at all times.
The Esprit control unit should have already been set up by your specialist dealer to your
local language. If this is not the case, you will be prompted to set the local language
when you first start up the device (see chapter 5.4).
On delivery of your Esprit, your specialist dealer will show you how to operate the sys-
tem and any accessories you have ordered. You will also be given this operating manual
which, in addition to the technical information, also contains important driving instruc-
tions.
The wheel retainers [2] and the torque plug [3] may only be
installed on the bracket [1] by Alber or by specialist dealers author-
ised by Alber.
Regularly check the brackets [1] to ensure that they are firmly
secured to the wheelchair.
In addition, regularly check whether the wheel retainers [2] and the
torque plugs [3] are still firmly screwed onto the brackets [1].
If a screw connection has become loose, contact your authorised
specialist dealer to have it retightened.
Alber GmbH provides brackets of various design (single-part or mul-
tiple-part brackets). As such, the brackets shown in the diagrams of
this operating manual may vary from those attached to your wheel-
chair.
The Esprit is quickly brought to a standstill in the event of a system
failure or other serious errors in the system, as this is the safe state
in accordance with the standard. The wheelchair user must be able,
both physically and in terms of his reaction time, to counteract the
braking acceleration forces that occur in this regard. If the wheel-
chair user is not able to do this, straps must be worn for trips with
the Esprit.
