0. Safety Instructions and Hazard Warnings
The following instructions are to be implicitly observed in order to guarantee the
secure utilisation of your viamobil.
0. Safety Instructions
Pay attention to the following before driving:
the viamobil should only be fixed to push-rim wheel chairs, which have been
cleared by the Ulrich Alber GmbH company for this purpose.
Assembly and alteration to the brackets for the viamobil are only to be carried out
by the Ulrich Alber GmbH company or by a health care specialist authorised by
Alber.
It is imperative that you pay attention to the instruction manual for the
wheelchair when using the viamobil.
The permissible peak load of the wheelchair is reduced by the weight of the via-
mobil (approx. 25 kg).
Only the person pushing is permitted to operate the viamobil. The viamobil is not
suitable for self-propelling chairs due to the danger of tilting, especially when
manoeuvring inclines. The person pushing must be able to support the wheelchair
and wheelchair occupant in the event of it tilting backwards or to the side.
It is strongly recommended that anti-tippers are mounted to your viamobil or
wheelchair! The use of paired anti-tippers is mandatory on uphill slopes over 8%.
The lever brakes on the wheelchair, to which the viamobil is attached, have to be
arranged so that the person pushing is able to reach them easily.
Check the condition of the drive wheels before setting off on every drive. You are
no longer permitted to operate the viamobil if the tyres have reached their wear
limit.
Ensure that the air pressure in the wheels of the wheelchair correspond with the
specifications of the wheelchair manufacturer.
The viamobil should be checked and serviced every two years by Alber or your spe-
cialised dealer (see chapter 11.3).
Pay attention to the following when driving your viamobil:
You should know how to handle the drive add-on on flat surfaces before taking
the viamobil on uphill or downhill slopes.
Always turn the operating button for the speed selection to the position displa-
ying the lowest speed possible when starting up and gradually increase the speed
to the required walking speed.
It is not permitted to drive on uphill or downhill slopes with an incline over 10%.
The max. permissable incline as stated by the wheelchair manufacturer is under no
circumstances to be exceeded.
Set the operating button for the speed selection to a speed which is not faster
than a comfortable walking speed for the person pushing, especially before mano-
euvring inclines.
Uphill and downhill slopes should never be manoeuvred in roll operation mode.
Never back up to steps or drops when the drive add-on is switched on.
If the viamobil is switched on, every impulse on the handle bar is tranferred into
a driving command. Every unwanted impulse should therefore be eliminated if
possible. Switch the viamobil off when stopping or waiting in front of potential
danger spots (i.e. while waiting at traffic lights, uphill and downhill slopes or
ramps of all kinds) and remove your hands from the handle bar.
Do not attach any objects (carrier bags etc.) to the handle bar of your viamobil!
These could cause unwanted driving impulses.
Keep a sufficient distance to the kerb when driving on pavements (if possible at
least one wheelchair width).
Always cross the kerb in backwards drive with the viamobil switched off. The
wheelchair is to be lifted on its handles (not by the handles of the viamobil). Pay
attention to the maximum climbing height as specified by the manufacturer of the
wheelchair when driving over kerbs.
Avoid driving on surfaces that are not firm (i.e. on loose gravel, in sand, mud,
