max-e

1Introduction

With the max-e you transform your manual wheelchair easily and quickly

into a lightweight, fully functioning, powered wheelchair. Due to the directly

powered wheels of your wheechair the max-e accomplishes a permanent, ef-

ficient transfer of power while all advantages of a manual wheelchair remain

intact.

Max-e is appropriate for the application class A according to EN 12184

(Guidelines of the European Union). The range lies at 15 km instead of the

norm´s 25 km; however, with an extra set of batteries the range can be in-

creased to the required 25 km.

2Mounting and initial operation

Max-e may only be operated in connection with a special holding device,

which must be fixed to the wheelchair.

These brackets (holding devices) must be mounted to the wheelchair exclu-

sively by AAT Alber Antriebstechnik or their authorized dealers.

2.1 Brackets

The holding devices or brackets are specially developed and adjusted to

each particular type of wheelchair. The brackets in this picture,right and

left may look different from the ones on your wheelchair.

FPlease make sure that the brackets are tightly secured on the chair befo-

re each use. Do not use the max-e if the screws are loose. In such case

contact your dealer immediately.

FPlease note that mounting the max-e to a wheelchair (depending on the

model) may result in restricting the adjustment of its seat or back rest.

FMounting the max-e to a wheelchair (depending on the model) may re-

sult in a change of the wheelchair’s measurements.

2.1.1 Attach and detach the wheels

There are full-floating axles in the centre of your wheelchair wheels. Press

the locking pin in the middle of the axle with your index finger to unlock the

system. Now you can take the wheel off.

Please remove one after the other.

To put the wheels back on proceed in reverse order.

2.2 Battery pack

Underneath your wheelchair’s seat there is a bag attached for the battery

pack. You slip the battery pack into the bag...

...and secure it with a Velcro strap.

2.3 Hook in the max-e

FPlease insert the max-e with its wheelchair connections in a straight

line in reference to the brackets .

The device easily slides into the brackets by itself.

Now put the plug of the power cable into its socket on the max-e.

cket on the battery pack.
