2.5 Traversing obstacles
Obstacles higher than 3 cm (such as kerbs) must be traversed backwards with the
viaplus switched off.
Retract the drive wheels [7] (see chapter 2.7).
Turn the button [10] to position “R” to set the viaplus to idle rolling mode.
The brake of the viaplus is disabled and the drive wheels are set to idle rolling
mode. The LED status indicator [11] is constantly on.
Lift the wheelchair by its handles and pull it backwards over the obstacle.
After having traversed the obstacle:
Lower the drive wheels [7] again (see chapter 2.1).
Select the desired speed at the control unit [9] (see chapter 2.2) and continue
your trip.
!
Never switch to idle rolling mode when driving up or down a slope.
There is a risk that the wheelchair could be inadvertently set in
motion!
!
When climbing or descending across kerbs, observe the maximum
obstacle height specified by the wheelchair manufacturer.
