User manual

12. CE conformity

The CE conformity for the e-ﬁx is only valid in combination with the anti-tippers.

In addition, the following points have to be taken into consideration:

· Assembly and repairs as well as any other work done on the e-ﬁx must be carried out by

Ulrich Alber GmbH or any other personnel authorized by Ulrich Alber GmbH.

· The lower part of the anti-tippers must be attached high enough so that their wheels

can rotate freely when the wheelchair is on a horizontal level.

· The user must pay particular attention to the following:

a) The anti-tippers must be unobstructed.

b) Please be extra careful when driving over obstacles higher than 40 mm and narrower

than the sidewalk‘s curb.

c) The critical height of obstacles must be tested individually for each wheelchair

equipped with the e-ﬁx by the occupant.

d) The point at which a certain wheelchair equipped with the e-ﬁx tilts backwards at

its back axle must also be tested by the occupant. The critical limit is reached at the

point where the tilted wheelchair falls backwards.

Important safety note:

Driving the e-ﬁx without attached anti-tippers is not safe, thus not admissible.
