9. Tips on First-time Driving

Your viamobil has been prepared by Alber or your specialist dealer and delivered to 
you. We would therefore like to subsequently give you two tips on first-time driving.

 

 Both drive wheels of the viamobil are approx 2 cm above the ground when in 
resting position. You thus have the opportunity of moving the wheelchair without 
the help of viamobil.

 

 Use the lowest possible speed (operating button for speed selection on setting 
„1“) on the viamobil when driving for the first time and become familiar with the 
driving properties of the viamobil. You can then gradually increase the speed and 
drive both backwards and forwards. You should get a feeling for driving your via-
mobil safely after just a couple of minutes.
