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.

· 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.
