Congratulations

With the acquisition of your e·fix you chose a reliable,

multifunctional, state of the art product based on

most current technology.

The e·fix increases your independence and mobility

tremendously. Used appropriately, it will soon prove

indispensable and open up entirely unexpected possibilities

to you. Mounted to your wheelchair you virtually got a

powered wheelchair without the disadvantages of the latter.

For instance your wheelchair remains fully foldable, which

is particularly important for its transportation and the often

only restricted space available.

Please read the instruction manual carefully to get familiar

with the system and its variety of possibilities. Handling

the e·fix is much less complicated than it may seem when

reading the instructions for the first time. As a matter of

fact, you will instantly realize just how easy and effortless

it is to use the e·fix when your alber distributor teaches

you step by step the practical handling of it. This instruction

session is part of the alber service and free of charge.

In the event of further questions, please contact your

local dealer or any distributor.

Have fun with your e·fix,

your team

Important safety instructions -

Please observe them closely!

In the interest of your safety, the e·fix may only be operated

by people who:

· have been taught how to use the e·fix

· are physically and mentally capable to use the e·fix in

all possible situations of employment

The instruction session is part of the delivery package. It

takes place by appointment and is done by your local dealer

or one of the distributors, no extra charge involved.

If for some reason you still do not feel comfortable handling

the e·fix, please contact your local dealer.

Please also observe the maximum slope your wheelchair can

handle determined by the wheelchair manufacturer. Do not

exceed it.

·The efficiency of the additional drive may be affected by

electromagnetic fields, generated for example, by mobile

telephones.

The additional drive therefore, should be switched off if

mobile telephones are being used in the close vicinity of

the wheelchair.

·The additional drive can also affect other equipment such

as theft-proof cabinets in departmental stores.

Do not use the e·fix before you participated

in the instruction session.

Wheels

2.1

Mounting the Wheels

The two electrically powered wheels are the heart of the

e·fix. The wheelchair's standard manual wheels are exchanged

with the e·fix wheels as follows. Please lift the wheelchair

somewhat.

· Remove the wheelchair's left wheel according to the

wheelchair's user's manual.

· Take an e·fix wheel and turn the coupling plate [15]

counter clockwise to position "I."

· Press the middle of the shutter [17] with your thumb so

that the inserted bow-type handle [16] pops out.

· Pull out the bow-type handle all the way.

·Insert the stub axle [21] of the e·fix wheel approximately

halfway into the wheel receiver [24]. In this position the

bow-type [16] handle juts out about 5mm above the

shutter [17].

· Turn the e·fix wheel until the torque plug [22] on the

wheel and the torque socket [23] on the holding device

on the wheelchair are vis-à-vis each other.

16 16

· Now insert the e·fix wheel all the way into the wheel

receiver [24]. Also make sure that the torque plug [22]

on the wheel is inserted into the torque socket [23] on

the holding device at the same time.

· Check whether the wheel is locked into place by pulling

on it. If the bow-type handle [16] folds all the way into

the shutter [17], the wheel is locked properly.
