2.2 Selecting speed at the control unit
The scale positions on the button [10] are assigned as follows:
Position “0”: the viaplus is switched off; the LED status indicator [11] is off.
Positions “1” to “6”: preset speed (continuously adjustable from “1” = 1 km/h
to “6” = 6 km/h); the LED status indicator [11] is on.
Position “R”: the brake of the viaplus is disabled and the drive wheels are set
to idle rolling mode. The LED status indicator [11] is on.
To select the speed at which you wish to operate the wheelchair,
turn the button [10] to the respective position (1-6).
To switch off the viaplus, turn the button [10] to position “0”.
2.3 Forward travel
Hold the viaplus with both hands by the handles of the wheelchair.
Push the driving lever [12] slowly down to the stop, using your thumb.
As long as the driving lever [12] is pushed down, the viaplus drives the wheelchair
forward. When the driving lever [12] is released, it automatically returns to its initial
(centre) position. The viaplus is thus stopped and the brakes are applied.
2.4 Reverse travel
Hold the viaplus with both hands by the handles of the wheelchair.
Push the driving lever [12] slowly up to the stop.
As long as the driving lever [12] is pushed up, the viaplus drives the wheelchair
backwards. When the driving lever [12] is released, it automatically returns to its
initial (centre) position. The viaplus is thus stopped and the brakes are applied
with an audible click.
!
When starting the viaplus for the first time, operate it at minimum
speed (set speed select button to position „“) and familiarise your-
self with the drive behaviour of the device. You can then gradually
increase the speed and operate the device in forward and reverse
mode. After a few minutes, you will have developed a feel for the safe
operation of the viaplus.
!
The viaplus is protected against inadvertent drive actuation.
It is therefore not possible to first actuate the driving lever [2]
and then switch on the viaplus.
If the driving lever is actuated before the viaplus is switched on,
the device is blocked and the LED status indicator [] flashes
6 times (for fault codes, see chapter 6.2).
In this case, you must switch off the viaplus by turning the button
[0] to position „0“ and then switch it on again.
