3. Safety instructions and hazard information when using the Esprit

3.1 General instructions

The Esprit wheels are controlled via the control unit joystick (see chapter 5.2.3). If the system is switched on, each actuation of the joy-

stick is converted into a travel command. This relates to moving both forwards and backwards as well as accelerating and braking. For this

reason, switch off the control unit in the event of a prolonged standstill, in order to prevent the wheelchair rolling away inadvertently due

to touching the joystick accidentally.

We recommend that you have a brief user training session when you first receive your Esprit. This will allow you to get used to the drive

and everything you can do with it.

3.2 Information about user training

•The safety and well-being of the user is the top priority. To ensure this, it is essential to understand the Esprit’s travel characteristics.

Your specialist dealer or Alber agent will help you in this regard with a complimentary device training session.

•Observe the information, safety instructions and hazard information provided by your wheelchair manufacturer. This also applies to

using the Esprit.

•Start your first driving attempts with caution and start your user training on level ground.

•Take your user training in areas without any obstacles.

•Always adapt your speed to external conditions so that you are able to stop your wheelchair or circumvent any obstacles that may sud-

denly appear, for example.

•Never immediately push the joystick to its maximum position when starting off. This may result in the wheelchair moving uncontrollably

(risk of accident).

•Move the joystick gently and without sudden movements. Avoid suddenly moving the joystick to its maximum position, especially in

potentially hazardous situations that you wish to avoid. Brake the Esprit carefully in advance until it stops.

•When the joystick is released, your wheelchair will be braked gently. If you need to brake suddenly (immediate stop) then deflect the

joystick briefly in the opposite direction to which you are travelling and then release it.

•Only brake the Esprit using the joystick control unit. In this regard, never grip the tyres or the coupling ring [7] “for support”.

•Before using the Esprit to navigate uphill or downhill gradients, you should be able to operate the device safely on level ground.

•Always travel on uphill gradients with a fully charged battery pack.

•You should exercise particular caution when travelling on downhill gradients of any kind.

•If travelling down slopes with a fully charged battery pack at a high speed, this can lead to a reduction in speed or the Esprit being

forced to shut down due to overvoltage. For this reason, travel down slopes at a slow speed in such cases. This is advisable in any case,

so that you are able to stop the wheelchair or avoid any obstacles that may suddenly appear.

•Never travel across steep slopes or similar conditions. Unintentionally shifting the centre of gravity could result in the wheelchair tip-

ping over on its side.

•When navigating inclined kerbs or in similar circumstances, you may need to countersteer a little. Never travel over minor obstacles

such as kerbs by moving parallel to them, move at a right angle to the respective obstacle. This means that both wheels travel over the

obstacle at the same time rather than being offset. Use a low speed that is appropriate for the obstacle.

•At regular intervals, check that the front wheels are aligned at right angles to the ground and that they have the correct air pressure.

Both factors influence the travelling and braking performance and the range of the Esprit.

•Never travel without anti-tippers, and only remove them in order to navigate major obstacles. It is left to the judgement of the user as

to whether to call an attendant for help when there is an increased risk that the wheelchair may tip over.

•When travelling on public roads you must observe the provisions of the road traffic regulations. Your wheelchair is equipped with the

additional equipment specified in this manual.

Exercise caution when travelling downhill with a fully charged battery pack.

Travelling at high speeds with a fully charged battery pack may lead to a reduction in speed or the system auto-

matically switching off. Therefore, reduce your speed.

As far as possible, always use reverse mode when negotiating obstacles (e.g. kerbs). Please refer to the wheel-

chair operating manual for the maximum permitted obstacle height.

Attention! When navigating obstacles in reverse, the Alber anti-tippers cannot be guaranteed to be fully func-

tional. For this reason, travel slowly and carefully in reverse until the wheels of your Esprit 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.
