4. Before use
In order to optimize the power consumption of
your wheel and not damage the integrity of the
batteries, we have included a mode which totally
deactivates your system after one week of non-
use.
For any system remaining inactive for at least
this duration, before any use of your application
involving rotation of the wheels, even without
electrical assistance, it is essential that you put
the system back into operation by pressing the
ON/OFF zone on the wheel label.
If your system has more than one wheel:
▪Perform the operation on all the wheels.
▪Always charge the wheel before a prolonged shutdown.
Refer to point “7. Charging the ez-Wheel® products”
Never leave an unused wheel totally discharged. It is recommended to recharge ez-Wheel® 300 and 10" Series
wheels every 90 days.
5. Integration of the ez-Wheel® products
Although it is possible to integrate ez-Wheel® wheels directly on a machine, it is recommended to use bracket-type
integration accessories.
These accessories allow the optimization of the ground/rolling area contacts and guarantee safety and comfort of
use.
5.1 Mounting of the wheel on the axle
▪Check that the application on which the wheel is
going to be mounted has a axle with a diameter
of 16 mm, of which the length corresponds to
the thickness of the wheel, for each wheel
▪Position the wheel on the axle and make sure
that the hexagon zone of the wheel is correctly
inserted in that of the application (XC 18 steel or
equivalent hardness).

Positioning of the ezMAR anti-rotate ring
The integration of the ezMAR anti-rotate ring is strongly
recommended. Its design is specifically studied to deform
in case of excessive effort, and thus preserve the wheel.
▪Remove the M3 screw from the ezMAR ring with
a 2.5 mm Allen key.
▪Position the hexagon zone of the ezMAR clamp
on the wheel axle.
It is possible to use a mallet for this operation,
but the wheel axle must not be damaged in any
circumstances.
Face A of the clamp should be against the wheel.
▪Tighten the M3 side screw with an Allen key to
ensure that the clamp is locked around the
hexagon zone.

▪Check that the tiller head is switched off: all
lights are off.
▪Inspect the general condition of the wheel and
check for damage.
▪Check the condition of the wheel: press the
ON/OFF zone of the wheel and check that the
light is green.
5.2 Mounting of the wheel to the application via an integration bracket
The ezMCS/H suspended bracket serves for mounting Series 300 autonomous wheels on applications requiring less than 100
Kg of load on the wheel.
