The system needs to be switched off before attaching the Esprit wheels to the wheelchair.
It must not be possible to remove the Esprit wheels from the wheel retainer [2] without pressing the release
mechanism [6]. Travel is only permitted with Esprit wheels that are correctly engaged in the wheel retainer [2].
2.2 Switching on the system
If the two Esprit wheels, as described in chapter 2.1, have been correctly attached to your wheelchair and are engaged, you can now
switch on the system using the control unit [20] (see chapter 5.2.1) and start using your wheelchair.
If you are not yet familiar with the Esprit and its travel characteristics you should start by reducing the max-
imum speed to a minimum using the rotary switch [29] (see chapter 5.2.6).
When travelling with the Esprit you must observe the safety instructions and hazard information in chapter 3.
When starting up the system for the first time, the language selection menu (see chapter 5.4) will appear when
you switch on the control unit. You can set your desired language in this menu.
2.3 Switching off the system
Once you have completed your trip and will not be using your wheelchair for a long period of time, you should always shut down the
Esprit. Firstly, this saves energy and secondly, the Esprit is not inadvertently deployed by accidentally touching the joystick. Read more
about this in chapter 5.2.2
