Introduction; General Info; Normal Use; Swing Wheel Limitation - Etac Lille Viking 2000+ Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing an auxiliary motor from Etac. The manual
must be read thoroughly to avoid damage when handling and
using the product.
In this manual the User is the person sitting in the chair. The Carer
is the person helping the user.
All you need to do before using your Lille Viking is to familiarise
yourself with this manual and check that the batteries are fully
charged.
A versatile auxiliary motor that helps the carer to propel the wheel-
chair on uphill slopes and to provide resistance on downhill slopes.
When assistance is not required from the motor it is easy to el-
evate the motor/wheels with a handle. The wheelchair can then be
operated as usual, without needing to remove the auxiliary motor.
Lille Vikingis easy for the carer to handle by means of the operat-
ing controls that are mounted on the wheelchair's push handles.
A battery indicator is located on the auxiliary motor of the Lille
Viking to indicate power consumption. Our combination overview
allows you to quickly find information about which auxiliary motor
and mounting kits are suitable for your wheelchair.
The combination overview is available at www.etac.com
