Directions for driving using e-move
Operation using e-move increases the user's power resources and converts them into brief rotary
motion of the motor using sensors in the wheel hubs. The power made available depends on the
mode the additional power has been set to. It does not matter whether the wheelchair is being driven
forwards or backwards.
When driving downhill, use of e-move assists braking. Activation of the system creates a more
efficient braking effect.
The wheelchair's actual driving function is only affected indirectly, i.e. as a user you only need to
change your driving habits slightly.
It is important to bear in mind that with outside use the motor must be protected from moisture as
far as possible. If the drive rings get damp/wet, a sudden manoeuvre may result in an increased risk
of accident.
Always switch off e-move and lock the brakes when getting into and out of the wheelchair.
Always drive with charged batteries so you do not come to a halt and get stranded with a dead
battery. If necessary, use an extra battery for longer distances.
Check to make sure your e-move wheels have the right tyre pressure for driving, namely 6 bar. A
puncture will significantly affect e-move's driving ability. If a puncture occurs, only continue the
trip in an emergency and drive carefully.
Despite e-move being dimensioned in accordance with all current EMC directives, electromagnetic
fields may affect driving characteristics. Mobile phones and other devices that emit electromagnetic
radiation can in certain cases cause incorrect function. Likewise, e-move may cause disturbances in
electromagnetic fields. This is rare, though it can lead to triggering of alarms in older alarm
installations, e.g. in department stores, or to opening of older automatic doors.
