Dear wheelchair driver
With your decision to use the e·motion wheelchair power by

a great deal of personal mobility.
After the following brief information we will introduce you to
the e·motion and its functions, but first we would like to
explain the advantages of the system to you:
· absolutely noiseless technology, gearless and brushless
engine
· next to no maintenance
· the level of power that supports you and the driving
characteristics are individually adjustable to potential physical
handicaps
· superior steering electronics cater particularly to driving a
wheelchair
·driving downhill operates with electrically supported breaking
deceleration
· mountable to almost all types of wheelchairs with a wheel
size of 24“
·modular construction for easy and fast transport and service
· user-friendly because of easily accessible elements such as
on/off switch, adjustment of the supporting power, removal
of the batteries, and of the wheels
We wish you a lot of fun and all the best with your e·motion,
your team

In the interest of your safety, the e·motion may only be
operated by people who:
· have been taught how to use the e·motion
·are physically and mentally capable to use the e·motion in

The instruction session is part of the delivery package. Your
local dealer or one of the distributors instructs you at

still do not feel comfortable handling the e·motion, please
contact your local dealer.
Please also observe the maximum obstacle your wheelchair

not exceed it. For maximum obstacles please consult the
respective wheelchair manufacturers user’s manuals.
Before you use a cellular phone or the like, please switch off

batteries, motor power 50%, temperature of 20 °C) the indicated
range can be reached. We reserve the right for technical and
visual changes due to continuous
development.

Wheels
3.1
Holding Device for the Wheels
To mount the e·motion to your wheelchair special holding
devices are necessary, which are mounted by or any
authorized dealer. These holding devices generally allow
the employment of the formerly used manual wheelchair wheels
as well as the use of the e·motion powered wheels.
3.2
Delivery of the Wheels and Batteries
Due to safety reasons wheels and batteries are separately
delivered. Thus you can mount the wheel immediately to the
wheelchair as described in the following paragraph.
We placed plastic protection covers on the batteries’ contact
surfaces which you need to remove according to the instructions
delivered with the batteries. Please keep these in a safe place
because they are needed furthermore for the transportation
and storage of the batteries (please see chapter 10).

Mounting the Wheels
Take any one of the e·motion wheels.
·In case the batteries [2] are
installed in the wheel.
Turn the holding ring [1]
counter clockwise and pull
the entire battery [2] out
of the wheel. Avoid touching
the contact surfaces at the
battery’s back side.
·Take the bow-type handle [4]
situated in the wheel hub [3]
out to 90°, which releases
the locking mechanism in
the axletree.

· Lock the wheel into place by
putting the bow-type handle [4]
back into its original position.
· Make sure the bow-type handle [4]
is in its original position and level
with the rest of the surface.
· The wheel sits correctly in its
holding device [5] if it cannot
be removed without pulling out
the bow-type handle [4].
· Mount the second wheel accordingly.
Attention: never hold, shift or pull the wheel by
the bow-type handle [4] to avoid risk of fracture.
· The e·motion wheel is now prepared to mount on the
wheelchair
· Remove your wheelchair’s
wheel according to the
respective user’s manual
· Hold the e·motion wheel at
the wheel hub (as shown in
the picture on the right)
and insert it all the way
into the holding device [5]
on the wheelchair.

Inserting the Batteries
· Lock the wheelchair’s brakes
to avoid any movement of
the wheels.
· Make sure there is no foreign
matter such as pebbles,
pieces of metal etc. in the
wheel hub [3].
· Hold the battery [2] at its
holding ring [1].
·Please remove the plastic protection covers from the battery,
if you haven’t done so. Avoid touching the contact surfaces.
· Insert the battery all the way into the wheel hub [3] (you
hear a clicking sound as it catches).
· If you cannot insert the battery all the way, the wheel is
possibly not entirely in its holding device. Please see
chapter 3.
Attention: never force the battery
into the wheel hub!
·Insert the second battery [2] into the other wheel accordingly
· Release the wheelchair’s brakes.
It takes such little preparation to make your wheelchair ready
to use. Whether you want to activate the e·motion or not,
you can still move your wheelchair as usual manually. However,
you will notice that you will need a bit more physical power
as before.
