User manual

7.4 Range

For every user of the e-ﬁx, one of the most interesting questions is the range of the

system. It can generally be assumed that a range of approx. 16 km can be reached with

the standard battery pack (12 Ah), and a range of approx. 30 km with the 17 Ah battery

pack. These are ideal values and are based on ﬂat, ﬁrm terrain. Deviations are possible

due to topographical conditions, ambient temperature, type of terrain, tire pressure of

the front wheels, frame geometry, weight of the wheelchair, weight of the driver and type

of drive wheels used.

7.5 Storage and transport

7.5.1 Storage

For long-term storage of your e-ﬁx drive, store the e-ﬁx wheels and especially the battery

pack in a dry place, preferably at room temperature (15 °C to 25 °C). For storage

purposes only, connect the battery pack every 2 months to the supplied charger and

charge it completely. This ensures that your e-ﬁx add-on drive will function even after

storing for a longer period of time. The batteries used are leakage-proof, maintenance

free and dry cell batteries. Store the battery pack preferably upright (in the same position

as they are in the wheelchair).

Refer to Chapter 3.4 for further information on the type of batteries used.

7.5.2 Transport

Contrary to electric wheelchairs, you may still fold your wheelchair with the e-ﬁx

attached, i.e. you can transport it as easily as any manual wheelchair with no additional

space required.

· Remove the control unit from the wheelchair (see Chapter 4.2).

· Remove the battery pack from the battery bag (see Chapter 3.2).

· Remove the wheels (see chapter 2.2).

· Fold your wheelchair and store it together with all its components.

· After transportation, reassemble your wheelchair by following these instructions in

reversed order.

8. Care, maintenance and disposal

8.1 Cleaning

Control unit, wheels and battery may be cleaned with a damp (not wet) cloth rag. Use

regular household cleaners in water diluted, never petroleum ether or the like. Do not

rinse the wheels with a water hose.

Ensure that liquids are prevented from entering any components of e-ﬁx.
