  • Page 8: Start-Up

    If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your authorised dealer or an agent of Alber GmbH. On your request, these specialists are also able to set up special drive programs for your scalamobil to suit your specific needs (see also chap- ter 2.3.2).

  • Page 9: Adjusting The Scalamobil To Suit The Operator

    To ensure correct and comfortable handling of the scalamobil, you must adjust the handle [1] to approximately the shoulder or chest height of the operator. Normally, this adjustment is made by the authorised dealer or agent of Alber GmbH upon deliv- ery of the scalamobil.

  • Page 10: Control Elements At The Drive

    2.3.2 Drive program selection switch If required, the scalamobil can be configured to suit the stairs you wish to climb. The necessary adjustments are made by an Alber GmbH agent or your authorised dealer. For this purpose, the specialist technician determines and enters a number of param- eter settings (height of steps of stairs, angle of inclination of scalamobil and climb- ing speed).

  • Page 11: Single Step Mode

    The main switch [4] is permanently on (green light), and the display [5] shows the currently selected climbing direction. If the scalamobil is not set into motion within 5 minutes after switching it on, it is automatically switched off (see chapter 5).

  • Page 12: Switching Off The Scalamobil

    2.4.2 Switching off the scalamobil To switch off the scalamobil, press the main switch [4]. All indicators on the display [5] are switched off. After the scalamobil has been switched off, the green light in the main switch [4] is also off.

    [38] and the brake pads [37] with methylated spirit. If the scalamobil is used on a daily basis, you should clean these parts once every week. If the stair climber is used less frequently, monthly cleaning might be sufficient.

  • Page 15: Attaching The Scalamobil To The Wheelchair

    (see chapters 2.5 and 2.5.1). • Place the wheelchair to be attached to the scalamobil on a firm and level surface. The wheelchair user may remain seated in the wheelchair.

  • Page 16: Inserting The Quickpins

    Before attempting this, you must however remove the two drive wheels [36] of the wheelchair. • To do this, actuate the driving switch [2] of the scalamobil to lift it together with the attached wheelchair until the two outer drive wheels [16] of the scalamobil are positioned on the ground and the two drive wheels [36] of the wheelchair are lifted off the ground.

  • Page 17: Removing The Scalamobil From The Wheelchair

    • Set the scalamobil to “climbing down” mode (see chapter 2.4.4). • Actuate the driving switch [2] of the scalamobil to lower it until the two outer wheels [16] and the two wheels of the wheelchair [36] touch the ground.

  • Page 18: Climbing Stairs

    • Check again that the person is properly seated on the wheelchair. • Turn the selection switch [6] to position “up” (see chapter 2.4.4). • If the scalamobil is not yet switched on, do this by actuating the main switch [4] (see chapter 2.4.1).

  • Page 19: Climbing Down Stairs

    • Check again that the person is properly seated on the wheelchair. • Turn the selection switch [6] to position “down” (see chapter 2.3.2). • If the scalamobil is not yet switched on, do this by actuating the main switch [4] (see chapter 2.4.1).

    Do not use the scalamobil on stairs with a lower step depth or lower radius. For scalamobil S35 and S38, the total width b depends on the width of the wheel- chair. For scalacombi S36 and scalamobil-fly S39, the width b=50 cm.

    If you need to call for assistance, lower the scalamobil on the steps as shown in the diagram to the left. Do not leave the person in the wheelchair alone, and always remain in visual contact.

  • Page 22: Special Safety Instructions For The Climbing Of Stairs

    Ensure that the feet of the wheelchair user are at all times placed on the footrest of the wheelchair. The scalamobil may only be switched off when standing on level ground. Only in the event of a serious emergency may it be halted during climbing operation. For details, see chapter 3.5.

  • Page 23: Anti-Theft Protection

    • Place the key [29] on the key symbol [25] on the display. The LED indicator flashes briefly. The scalamobil is now automatically disabled. If the scalamobil is switched on after it has been disabled, the LED indicator of the anti-theft protection [25] flashes in yellow. The stair climbing function is disabled, and the wheels are blocked.

  • Page 24: Batteries

    To charge the battery pack, it can be removed from the scalamobil. It can however also be charged while installed in the stair climber.

  • Page 25: Batteries Used In The Scalamobil

    • Prevent the batteries from becoming completely discharged. Recharge the batter- ies of the scalamobil after each partial discharge, i.e. after each use of the stair climber. • If the batteries are stored (without charging) for a prolonged period of time, they will lose some of their capacity.

  • Page 26: Transport And Storage

    • Tighten the two lower knobs [9]. • Check the tubes of the height adjustment mechanism to ensure that they are properly secured to the scalamobil. It must be impossible to remove the tubes. • Place the battery pack in the housing.

  • Page 27: Instructions For Storage And Transportation

    • Before transporting the scalamobil, remove the battery pack [11] to prevent inadvertent start-up of the scalamobil. • When carrying the scalamobil, do not hold it by its inner [15] or outer [16] wheels. • Always hold and carry the scalamobil by its handles [1] and [21].

  • Page 28: Display And Error Messages

    • As the scalamobil is slightly tilted during the climb, passengers might experience some tension in the neck region. In this case, we recommend attaching the optional headrest available for the scalamobil. • Never release the scalamobil when on a staircase. Do not lower the stair climber onto the steps, unless this is required in the event of an emergency.
  • Page 29 If the brakes do not work properly, do not use the scalamobil on the stairs. • The scalamobil must only be used on stairs with a minimum step depth of 11 cm and a maximum step height of 20 cm.

  • Page 30: Safety Signs

    Regularly clean the inner [15] and outer [16] wheels and the mating faces [38] of the brake with methylated spirit to ensure opti- mum brake force. If the scalamobil is used on a daily basis, you should clean the above parts weekly. If the stair climber is used less frequently, monthly cleaning might be sufficient.
