3. Safety instructions and hazard information when using the e-motion
3.1 General instructions
Using the e-motion wheels is much the same as using the manual wheels you have been
using until now. This means that you can move your wheelchair as normal using the push
rims [5]. While the e-motion is switched on, each push you give to the push rims will
be converted into a drive command. The e-motion thus assists both forwards and reverse
movement, as well as accelerating and braking. The e-motion does not brake automatic-
ally in freewheeling mode.
As such, we recommend that you take a short driver training session when you first
receive your e-motion. This will allow you to get used to the drive and everything you
can do with it.
The e-motion wheels can also be used as manual push rim wheels when switched off.
However, the additional weight of the wheels needs to be considered when starting off
and braking in such situations.
Check that the parking brakes [10] of your wheelchair have been calibrated for use with the e-motion wheels to prevent your wheel-
chair from rolling away inadvertently. If this is not the case, please contact your Alber authorised specialist dealer and have the brakes
readjusted.
Information on driving training
Start your first driving attempts with caution, and start your driving training on level ground.
Take your driver training in areas without any obstacles.
Before using the e-motion to travel on a slope, practice operating the device on level ground.
Always adapt your speed to external conditions so that you are able to stop your wheelchair or drive around any obstacles that may
suddenly appear, for example.
Always ensure that your battery is fully charged before driving up slopes.
The wheels will continue to work if the battery is empty; however, you will no longer be able to use the rolling motion or – most
importantly – the braking assistance!
Special caution should always be exercised when travelling down slopes of any kind.
Driving down slopes at high speeds with a fully charged battery can cause the e-motion to shut down due to overvoltage. The wheels
will continue to work, but the power assistance for braking will no longer be available.
As such, always adopt a low speed in such situations. This is advisable in any case, so that you can stop the wheelchair or avoid any
obstacles that may suddenly appear.
Observe the information, safety instructions and hazard information provided by your wheelchair manufacturer. This also applies to driving
using the e-motion.
Exercise caution when travelling downhill with a fully charged battery.
Travelling at high speeds with a fully charged battery may lead to the system automatically switching off.
Reduce your speed accordingly.
As far as possible, always use reverse mode when negotiating obstacles (e.g. kerbs). The maximum permitted
obstacle height is 50 mm. Drive slowly and carefully in reverse until the wheels of your e-motion touch the
obstacle. Once you reach this point, negotiate the obstacle carefully. It is up to you to decide whether to enlist
the help of another person.
Observe the following safety instructions and hazard information.
In the event of a breakdown, contact your specialist dealer immediately.
The optional ECS remote control offers a special training mode that allows you to use the e-motion wheel with
very little motor assistance until you have got used to the handling.
