User`s manual

The CE conformity for the e·fix is only valid in combination

with the tilt support. 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 + Co. KG

or any other personnel authorized by .

· The lower part of the tilt support 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 tilt support 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 his/her driver.

d) The point at which a certain wheelchair equipped with

the e·fix tilts backwards at its back axle must also be

tested by its user. The critical limit is reached at the

point where the tilted wheelchair falls backwards.

Driving the e·fix without attached tilt support

is not safe, thus not admissible.

Important safety note

Due to blows or impact caused, for example, by

unintentionally setting down on too high kerbs, particularly

the toothed sections [d] in the tilt supports may be subject

to above average loading. Consequently the condition of

the teeth (see illustration for the precise position) should

be checked at least once a week.
