2.3 Fixing viamobil to the Wheelchair

The wheelchair occupant should sit in the wheelchair in order to facilitate the fixing 
of viamobil. The lever brakes on the wheelchair also have to be pulled in order to 
prevent unintentional rolling away.
If you haven‘t done so:

check that the drive wheels of your viamobil are extended (see chapter 2) and roll 
operation has been activated (see chapter 2.2).
 Pull the lock [24] upwards on the bracket [21] on both sides until it cannot go 
any further.

i

If Alber anti-tippers are attached to your wheelchair (see chapter 8, anti-
tippers) then they have to be removed to be able to fix the viamobil to 
the wheelchair. The anti-tippers have to be reattached (see chapter 8) 
when the viamobil is securely connected to the wheelchair.

 Push your viamobil from behind underneath the wheelchair, whereby the lower 
bolt [3] is initially inserted into the lower receiver [23] of the bracket on both 
sides.
