User manual

· Check whether the quick pins [40] securely rest in the holding device [41]. You are not

supposed to be able to remove them without pressing the locking mechanism in their

center.

· To remove the anti-tippers, work your way back step by step.

It is not permitted to jack up the wheelchair while the occupant is still in

the wheelchair!

The anti-tippers are not transfer rollers!

Do not move the wheelchair when it is jacked up!

Take care when adjusting or folding up the anti-tippers, especial-

ly when adjusting or moving them with your hand. There is a risk

of being crushed between the retaining bar [A] and the stopper

[B] due to the high spring force required.

6. Operation

6.1 Safety of the driver

Safety and comfort of the driver are the ﬁrst priority. It is, therefore, indispensable to get

to know your e-ﬁx and its driving performance thoroughly. Your Alber representative assists

you with a free of charge training session when you use the e-ﬁx for the ﬁrst time. He helps

you until you feel secure using your e-ﬁx.

6.2 Driving

The ﬁrst few attempts to use the e-ﬁx should not take place in a conﬁned space, since the

driver is not used to the device and thus likely to collide with furniture and such. Therefore,

you should ﬁrst practice driving the e-ﬁx outside, e.g. on an empty parking site.

· Turn the e-ﬁx on at its lowest speed (see chapter 4.4.3) and get a feeling for its driving

performance.

· Give yourself small driving tasks and practice them at your own leisure.

· Using the e-ﬁx successfully comes with practice.

· Practice results in competence. You will soon become more conﬁdent moving the

joystick thus driving in a more precise manner.

· Increase the speed slowly. We advise you always to choose a low speed level when

driving inside.
