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.
M3x12 CHC screw
2.5 mm Allen key

▪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.

Position of the stop screw according to the load applied to the wheel:
Position 1
Low load position, approximately 50 kg
Position 2
Medium load position, approximately 75 kg
Position 3
High and load position, approximately 100 kg
For most applications, position 1 is sufficient to ensure good grip between the wheel and the floor.
Depending on the nature and the condition of the floor and the total load to be moved, it may be preferable to
increase the load on the wheel by using positions 2 or 3.
A relaxation of the system is possible in order to facilitate the installation under bulky machines.
5.2.5 Fixing the pre-assembled unit on the machine
▪Screw the pre-assembled unit to the machine.
▪Refer to the drawing of the bracket top plate for
the positions of the 4 holding screws.
▪Test the complete system and check that the
electric drive of the wheel functions properly
without skidding on the floor.
The horizontal driving force provided by the wheel is 35 kg maximum.
If, despite the force applied by the suspended clevis, slippage is observed, re-tension the system by increasing the
load by one level until the correct traction is obtained.
5.3 Integration of directional controls
ez-Wheel® electric wheels are controlled by the interface in the tiller heads (ezRTH/W or ezRTH/W/IP) via a wireless
communication system.
The wheels and the directional controls are designed to work together according to the configuration described in the ez-
Config® instruction manual.
▪Refer to point “5.4 Setting of the system”of this manual.

7. Charging the ez-Wheel® products
7.1 Charging the wheel
7.1.1 Charging the wheel with charging connector
Wheels can be charged every time a mains connection is available (if necessary, several times per day). It is not
necessary to wait for the battery to be discharged.
▪Remove the plug from the wheel connector.
▪Check that the connector is not obstructed by
dust accumulation or a foreign body. If
necessary, clean the connector carefully.
Never wash the connector by spraying a jet of water directly into it.
Check that the connector is perfectly dry before connecting the charger.
▪Connect the charger to the wheel and connect
the charger to the mains.
▪Use a suitable charger. Contact your dealer for
more information on this charger.
The lights on the wheel and the box should be flashing
orange.
When the wheel is charged the lights on the wheel will
be flashing green.
It is impossible to use the wheel when it is connected.
When the wheel is charged, disconnect the charger by pressing the lug on its connector and replace the plug on the
wheel connector.
To disconnect the charger connector, press in the locking lug and pull the connector.
7.1.2 Charging the wheel without charging connector
In order to meet the hygiene and watertightness requirements of the food sectors and with controlled atmosphere, the XLR
charging connectors of the ezW300F/ST/W and ezW300M/ST/W products have been removed.
