Range; Switching Off The System; Travelling In Push Mode - Alber Erivo R10 Gebrauchsanweisung

When not in use, do not expose the Erivo to strong sunlight for
long periods of time. This could cause the motor to heat up and, in
extreme cases, prevent it from operating at full power. Plastic parts
also age quicker under intense sunlight.
i
The Erivo cannot be pushed manually in electric motor operation.

2.2. Range

For every Erivo user, the range of the system is one of the areas of greatest interest.
In general, it is possible to say that this is roughly 10 km. These are ideal values and
relate to flat, paved terrain. Deviations may occur due to topographical conditions, the
ambient temperature, the road surface, the tyre pressure of the front wheels, the frame
geometry, the weight of the wheelchair, the weight of the user and the wheel tyres.

2.3. Switching off the system

Once you have completed your trip and will not be using your wheelchair for a prolonged
period of time, you should always shut down the Erivo. Firstly, this saves energy and
secondly, the Erivo is not inadvertently deployed by accidentally touching the joystick.
Please read chapter 5.2 in this regard.

2.4. Travelling in push mode

In addition to electric motor operation, the Erivo wheels can also be operated manually
by an attendant for push mode.
Push mode is activated as follows:
• Switch off the system at the control unit (see chapter 5.2).
• Pull the lever [10] on both motors upwards to position N. This will disengage the
wheels and put them into push mode.
• If you mistakenly try to control the wheels in manual mode, an error message will be
shown on the control unit (see chapter 6).
Both wheels are in freewheeling mode in push mode. This means
that there is no braking function. In case of a prolonged standstill,
the wheels should therefore be switched to electric motor operation
in order to prevent the Erivo rolling away unintentionally.
For reasons of safety, the drive wheels must only be disengaged
from motorised mode and set to push mode while stationary and on
a flat surface. The drive wheel must be load-free when being disen-
gaged. To do so, switch off the Erivo at the control unit. Actuating
the clutch with a load or while travelling can damage the internal
mechanics and is therefore not covered by the warranty. Disengaging
on an incline can lead to a dangerous situation as the Erivo either
switches directly or subsequently to freewheeling mode and, in the
worst case, could therefore start moving in an uncontrolled manner,
i.e. it could rotate and/or roll downhill. Disengagement should only
be performed on an incline in case of emergency and only if an
accompanying person is present and capable of securing the wheel-
chair manually.
