6.3 Further Suggestions on driving with the e-ﬁx

· When you start driving, never push the joystick all the way forward. There is the

potential danger of an accident, especially if the pre-selected speed is set at maximum

speed. In such case the wheelchair may make movements the driver cannot control

anymore.

· Move the joystick gently and smoothly. Do not jerk the joystick.

· Make sure you do not make strong, jerky movements of the joystick, particularly in

potentially dangerous situations when you want to avoid an obstacle. Instead, brake

the e-ﬁx until you come to a standstill by releasing the joystick.

· If you let go of the joystick, your wheelchair comes to a gentle standstill. In case you

need to come to an immediate standstill, move the joystick brieﬂy opposite the

driving direction and then let go.

· Always brake the e-ﬁx with the joystick; never touch the push rims of the wheelchair‘s

wheels.

· Never drive parallel to steep slopes. The center of gravity may change inadvertently,

which may result in the wheelchair tilting sideways.

· Counter-steer as necessary when you are driving along sloping curbs etc.

· Always drive over small obstacles such as curbs in a 90 degree angle; in other words,

both wheels drive over the obstacle at the same time. Go at a low speed over the

obstacle.

· Check if the castor wheels of your wheelchair are at a right angle to the ground and

check the air pressure at regular intervals as both factors inﬂuence the performance

and the range of the e-ﬁx.

· Never drive the e-ﬁx without anti-tippers. Remove the latter only when you drive over

a bigger obstacle. In such case you need a person accompanying you, since there is an

increased danger for the wheelchair to tip over.

· Driving on public roads is subject to Motor Vehicle Regulations.

· Comply with the relevant national regulations in force when travelling on

public roads. Your wheelchair has been provided with the stipulated additional

devices.

Please note that the driving quality and the braking reaction is also inﬂuenced by

the castor wheels. Therefore, please make sure that there is the same air pressure in

both tires and that their axles are aligned in a 90 degree angle to the ground.

6.4 Dangerous ground and dangerous situations

Taking into account his driving skills and physical abilities, the e-ﬁx driver decides for

himself which routes he will travel. Prior to setting off he must check the e-ﬁx for worn or

damaged tires, as well as the state of charge of the battery pack. These safety checks, as

well as the requisite personal driving skills, are particularly important near the following

dangerous ground, which should only be tackled at the discretion of the e-ﬁx driver:

· Quay walls, landing and berthing points, paths and places close to water, unsecured

bridges and dikes.

· Narrow paths, sloping ground (e.g. ramps and driveways), narrow paths beside inclines,

mountain routes.

· Narrow and / or sloping paths close to main arterial roads or close to chasms

· Leaf- and snow-covered or icy driving routes.

· Ramps and lifting equipment on vehicles.
