4 INTENDED USE AND ENVIRONMENT OF USE OF THE DEVICE
Intended use
The MOTOTRONIK is a specific device for disabled people using a manual wheelchair.
It is an auxiliary power assist system that is designed to be mounted to most manual wheelchairs, quickly and easily.
When coupling the MOTOTRONIK device to the wheelchair, the small wheels at the front rise off the ground and a single wheel, in the "traction unit", is used for steering.
MOTOTRONIK devices are classified for use with wheelchairs to which they are coupled pursuant to UNI EN 12184.
MOTOTRONIK devices are also compliant with the requirements of class B with a maximum range of about 50 km (for the version with a charged 11.6 Ah battery, on a flat course and a user weighing 75 kg).
In accordance with the definition of class B of UNI EN 12184, the device is for indoor use and can handle outdoor obstacles.
Any other use or misuse could result in hazardous situations.
Environment of use
MOTOTRONIK series devices are made for use coupled to a manual wheelchair and can be coupled to most manual wheelchairs available on the market. MOTOTRONIK solutions can be used both indoors and
outdoors, with the limits stated in this document, and in general with the same limitations set for the use of the manual wheelchair.
Clinical use and types of users
The MOTOTRONIK is not intended for specific clinical use, but as a support to the mobility of persons who use manual wheelchairs. Therefore, bearing in mind the operating precautions described in this
document, there are no professional, technical or aptitude pre-requisites for the operation or use of a MOTOTRONIK device.
5 USER REQUIREMENTS
MOTOTRONIK series devices and their accessories can be used independently by a user:

Mototronik 8
The MOTOTRONIK series of devices and their accessories can be used
exclusively by a user who has been informed, who is aware of the associated
risks and who has sufficiently practised the correct use of the same device and
accessories.
The user is responsible for monitoring and maintaining the efficiency of the
device and its accessories as indicated in this document.
Periodic maintenance must be carried out to ensure the proper functioning and
safety of the equipment.
The use of the MOTOTRONIK device in public spaces (roads, pedestrian
walkways, squares, cycle paths, etc.) must comply with the specific
regulations of the country in which they are used. Rehateam s.r.l. is not
responsible for this purpose for any use that does not comply with the
specific regulations in force.
Moderate the speed in relation to the characteristics of the wheelchair, the
conditions of the road surface, the lateral inclination of the road and the radius
of the curve that you can face.
Always respect the limit of use of the wheelchair and make sure that the same
wheelchair to which the MOTOTRONIK device is connected is in perfect
condition of use. In particular, always make sure that the rear wheels are
correctly tightened (see the user manual for the wheelchair).
It is necessary to pay attention to lateral drifts due to the presence of strong
wind, to the transverse slope of the road or to lateral heeling when steering.
It is recommended to go downhill not more than two-thirds of the maximum
speed; on slopes avoid sudden braking or acceleration. The stopping distance
when going downhill can be significantly greater than on level ground.
On uphill or downhill routes, never attempt to overcome obstacles.
When the vehicle is in motion, avoid moving the centre of gravity, or making
sharp movements with the body.
On terrain with uneven surfaces, cobblestones, pavé, paved or unpaved roads
with holes and/or wedges, with stones or other obstacles (even those
measuring only a few centimetres), pay the utmost attention to the front wheels,
the wheelchair footplate and the MOTOTRONIK stand, which could collide with
such irregularities and cause damage to the wheelchair and/or result in the user
falling from the vehicle with consequent possible traumas/injuries. In such
situations, proceed by attempting to avoid such irregularities and, in any case,
by travelling at a speed of less than 3 km/h.
When entering a building and/or lift, always keep in mind the steering diameter
of your wheelchair equipped with the MOTOTRONIK device. Avoid situations
from which you would no longer be able to remove yourself because you are
unable to turn your wheelchair.
Using MOTOTRONIK devices increases the risk of tipping when taking corners:
reduce your speed before changing direction. Accelerate again only once you
exit the curve.
Take narrow passages at the lowest speed and with the utmost caution.
It can be difficult to manoeuvre in front of a lift or in front of the entrance of a
building as the steering diameter of the wheelchair increases when it is coupled
to the MOTOTRONIK device; this could conflict with the standards of the
buildings or the actual size of the entrances.
Before each use of your MOTOTRONIK device, make sure that the braking
system (disc brake and electric brake) is effective. Perform some low-speed
tests.

Mototronik 9
During the use of MOTOTRONIK devices, it is mandatory to pay the utmost
attention to the protection of the braking system; in particular, the user must
avoid obstacles (lateral and frontal) that could damage the disc.
Before starting to drive backwards, make sure there is no person, obstacle,
stairs or slopes behind the wheelchair.
After each restart, pay maximum attention, before accelerating, to check if the
forward or reverse gear is currently selected, especially when close to
obstacles, drop-offs, and any other kind of danger. In such cases, turn the
device off and manually move the wheelchair to a safe place.
Always apply the correct amount of force to the brake. Squeezing the lever too
hard may result in wheel locking; this will increase the braking distance and
affect the overall stability.
At high speed, the user may lose control of the wheelchair and it may tip over.
Never exceed 15 km/h and avoid impacts in general. In the event of a collision,
the user could suffer serious injury to body parts.
Absolutely never use the MOTOTRONIK device along tramway, rail and light
railway tracks. Pay the utmost attention at level crossings, keeping the wheels
of the MOTOTRONIK device and the wheelchair at a safe distance. Failure to
comply with this precaution could result in serious damage/injury to the
device and the user. The same precautions apply to water drains, manholes
and any kind of depression along the route travelled.
You must not permit the use of the MOTOTRONIK to children, incapacitated
persons, or to those who are insufficiently familiar with the device or who are
physically unsuited to use it.
It is forbidden to use the device after consuming alcohol, drugs and in general
in the case of alteration of the psychophysical abilities of the user.
It is absolutely forbidden to remove, modify or replace components of the
device. If necessary, such operations must be carried out exclusively by
technical personnel authorised by Rehateam s.r.l.
The use of MOTOTRONIK devices on roads with an unsuitable surface is not
allowed.
The use of MOTOTRONIK devices for users plus wheelchair weighing more than
120 kg is not allowed; in addition to that, the user's weight must not exceed the
specified maximum load of the wheelchair used.
The use of MOTOTRONIK devices in riding over, climbing or descending steps
of more than 5 centimetres in height is not allowed.
See figure 1 below.
It is forbidden to use the device in low light conditions (the equipment is not
suitable for night-time use), with adverse weather conditions (rain, strong wind,
etc.) and indeed, outside the environmental conditions of use.
It is forbidden to overcome obstacles obliquely: make sure that the rear
wheels overcome the obstacle at the same time. Never stop halfway.
The correct way to overcome steps and ascents is shown in figure 3 below.
The use of MOTOTRONIK devices on routes with slopes of more than 10% (6°)
is not allowed.
See figure 2 below.
During the use of MOTOTRONIK devices it is absolutely forbidden to make a
U-turn on slopes of more than 5% (3°) and at a speed higher than gear 1.
It is forbidden to attempt to climb or descend a staircase.
The use of a MOTOTRONIK device in a way in which it is not coupled to a
manual wheelchair is not allowed.

11 COUPLING AND REMOVING THE DEVICE
The MOTOTRONIK system is composed of three main units:
(1) motor unit (removable)
(2) connection frame (removable)
(3) clamps (fixed to the frame)
The pictures refer to a MOTOTRONIK 12" STANDARD and they are to be considered valid for other models, too.
The reported instructions are intended for a user with good trunk control, good upper-limb control and no control of the lower limbs.
The better the body control, the easier the process will be. On the other hand, the user may not find this process to be easy to carry out and, solely for the coupling and removing process, the help of an assistant
may be necessary.
The coupling and removing operation must always be carried out with the system
switched off (see chapter 14.3). Failure to comply with this warning may result in
damages or injuries for which Rehateam s.r.l. cannot be held responsible.

Slowly, with your wheelchair, get close to the motor unit (the stand holds it in an upright position) until aligning the hook Gof the coupling block Hto the upper axle I1 of the motor unit central block L.
Stop the wheelchair with its own parking brakes.
Take hold of the handlebar on both grips and pull it towards yourself so that the axle gets into the hook.
If it fails to get in, the lock double hook Mmay be in "lock position" . To bring the double hook into the "open position" , press the Nbutton.
Now, push the handlebar forwards and upward until the double hook Minserts and automatically locks over the lower axle I2 of the motor unit central block.
The lock double hook must be in "lock position". Attempt to shake the system to make sure the coupling is secure.
Check that the front wheels are between 3 and 5 cm above the ground.
Before starting to drive the MOTOTRONIK, always check the system is securely locked as mentioned above.
Failure to comply with this warning may cause serious damage or injury for which Rehateam s.r.l. cannot be held responsible.

11.3 Removing the motor unit from the connection frame
STANDARD HANDLEBAR
The device MUST be switched off –see chapters 10.1 and 12.3.
Brake the wheelchair with its own parking brakes.
Push the handlebar forwards a little, then press and keep pressed the brake lever N.
Press the button O to open the lock double hook, see chapter 11.2.
The button may be hard to push, that is due to the pressure exerted by the wheelchair and by the motor unit right on the axle I2. To release that pressure, keep the brake lever pressed, push the handlebar
forwards, and press the button.
Now, after releasing the brake lever, the motor unit detaches from the axle I2 and it moves ahead pivoting on the axle I1 that is still inserted in the hook of the coupling block.
Push the motor unit forwards to detach it from the connection frame. The motor will remain in an upright position thanks to the stand.
While removing the MOTOTRONIK, pay maximum attention to the safety of the upper limbs (fingers, hands, arms) as they may be affected by the abrupt movement of the handlebar (or
other parts of the device) if it is released too quickly. To avoid such danger, after pressing the release button, gently release the handlebar by lowering the wheelchair gently.

TETRA HANDLEBAR
The same as for the lever, the two operations described
above take place at the same time.
Similar to what is described for the standard
handlebar, but with the following observations.
Do not brake the wheelchair.
With the "Tetra" handlebar, when pushing the
handlebar forward, you operate the brake.
Press the button Oand release the brake (let the
handlebar turn backwards).
If the device is equipped
with the Plever to facilitate
the release operation, push
the lever outwards to push
the button O–see chapter
17.6.

11.4 Removing the connection frame
Once the motor unit is detached, loosen the two levers A just enough to be able to pull off the connecting frame E. Slide the connection frame off.
The two levers can now be screwed and attached to the half-moon-shape blocks Cor they can be removed and stored in the most practical and/or appropriate location (for example, in the seat canvas pocket).
This operation can be carried out both with a braked wheelchair and with a wheelchair that does not have the brakes on.
11.5 Removing the motor unit coupled to the connection frame
You can also detach the "motor unit/connection frame" assembly in a single quick operation. Stop the wheelchair with its own parking brakes.
Loosen the two levers just enough to be able to remove the connection frame as indicated in the previous chapter. Now, at the same time, push the handlebar forward and move the body backwards several times
but gently as if you were trying to do a wheelie until you detach the "motor unit/connection frame" assembly.
Perform this operation very carefully to avoid unbalancing or even falling off the
wheelchair.
This operation, although possible and expected, wears more on the coupling forks and
half-moon-shape blocks. Please note that the warranty does not apply to parts subject
to wear and tear.
