. Support, Maintenance and Disposal

. Charging Rechargeable Battery Pack

Your viamobil consumes energy every time it‘s used. You should never completely
deplete the reserves in your rechargeable battery pack, because this can become
damaged if done on a continuing basis. It is recommended that you recharge the
rechargeable battery pack after every use whenever possible.
Only use the Alber mains battery charger supplied with the viamobil for charging
the rechargeable battery pack. This switches itself off automatically as soon as the
rechargeable battery pack is charged. It is therefore not possible to overcharge the
rechargeable battery pack.
Also see chapter 3.5 for further instructions on the rechargeable battery pack

.2 Cleaning

Only use commercially available cleaning fluids, which are used in households for all
cleaning procedures.

Drive unit, hand grips and rechargeable battery pack should only be rubbed down
with a damp (not wet) cloth.
The contacts on the rechargeable battery pack and on the base plate should be
cleaned regularly with a cloth soaked in cleaning spirits.
When using Alber anti-tippers, the receivers of the Alber anti-tippers should be
cleaned every two months with a damp (but not wet) cloth.
The bracket attached to the wheelchair is to be cleaned with a damp (but not wet)
cloth.
The drive wheel should be regularly cleaned to get rid of any dirt. This is best car-
ried out with compressed air or a dry brush.

.3 Maintenance

Your viamobil is an extremely low-maintenance device. No part of the drive is subject
to noteworthy wear and tear with the exception of the tyres. The tyres are not to be
used if they have reached their wear limit in order to be able to safely utilise the
drive and braking power of your viamobil at all times.

A new tyre (see fig. A) boasts a prominent tread pattern and therefore guarantees the
perfect pressure as well as optimum driving properties.

If the tyre of your viamobil is worn down (see fig. B), then the tread and the lateral
radii [R] are no longer recognisable. The diameter [X] of the tyre is now 194 mm and
has to be replaced immediately, because there may no longer be sufficient pressure
on the ground.
Please contact your specialist dealer straightaway regarding a replacement tyre.

Even if there are no visible and recognisable wear and tear,

damages or malfunctions, a safety-related

inspection should be carried out every two years on your viamobil

according to §6 of the Medical Product Act (MPBetreibV).

If you determine a worsening in the usual driving behaviour on your
viamobil (i.e. erratic rolling away, wheelspinning or wheel-slipping),
please contact your health care specialist for an inspection of the
tyres.

Service and repairs to the viamobil are only to be carried out by

an authorised specialist dealer or Alber. Please also contact your

specialist dealer or the Alber Service Centre in the event that any

faults occur.
