4.3 Transport instructions for viaplus and wheelchair
To transport the wheelchair, follow the instructions of the wheelchair manufacturer. You might need to secure the wheelchair
or certain components.
During transport, the viaplus or its dismantled parts must be properly secured so that they do not pose a risk to the driver or
passengers in the event of a sudden brake manoeuvre.
Please check whether there are specific statutory regulations regarding the transport of wheelchairs, wheelchair wheels or
add-on drives in your country and strictly adhere to these regulations.
For safety reasons, it is strictly forbidden to sit in the wheelchair while travelling in another vehicle.
Always adhere to the statutory requirements.
Ulrich Alber GmbH and its agents shall not be liable for any damage resulting from non-compliance with these instructions.
5. Storage
To store the viaplus, place it on a surface that is easy to clean.
If you wish to store the viaplus for a prolonged period of time, you must keep the device and in particular the battery pack
in a dry environment, preferably at room temperature (+15 °C to 25 °C).
Recharge the battery pack every 30 days with the supplied battery charger. This ensures that your viaplus is working properly
even after prolonged storage.
After the battery pack has been charged, disconnect the charger from the power mains.
The batteries consist of dry cells. If stored and handled correctly, they are leak-proof and do not require any maintenance apart
from regular recharging. For more details regarding the batteries used in the viaplus, see chapter 3.4.
If the viaplus is to be stored for a prolonged period of time together with the wheelchair, we recommend lifting the drive wheels
from the ground by operating the pedal (see chapter 2.7).
Switch on the viaplus once a month and move the wheelchair a few meters forward and back to prevent seizing of the brake and
similar damage.
