21 21 Assembly of the bracket [2] on the wheelchair as well as the accompanying adjustments to the viamobil are only to be carried out by Alber or an authorised specialist dealer. You should regularly check whether the brackets [2] are still screwed tightly to the wheelchair.
2. Extending Drive Wheels • Use the forward section of your foot to move the pedal [2] downwards from its resting position . • Press the pedal [2] down strongly with the forward section of your foot when in middle position; both drive wheels [1], which are still retracted at present, are therefore extended.
2.2 Activating Roll Operation Your viamobil can be manually pushed without requiring the support of the motor when in so-called „roll operation“. This feature is solely intended for inserting and removing the viamobil underneath the wheelchair. • Turn the operating button [12] into „Roll“ position. The handle bar [8] has to be in the resting position (middle position) - should therefore neither be pulled upwards, nor pressed downwards! Non-observance of these instructions results in a fault indication (6 x blinking light, see also chapter 7.2) in the LED status display...
Pull the lock [24] upwards on the bracket [21] on both sides until it cannot go any further. If Alber anti-tippers are attached to your wheelchair (see chapter 8, anti- tippers) then they have to be removed to be able to fix the viamobil to the wheelchair.

• When inserting pay attention that adjusting collars [25] may be mounted to your viamobil within the bracket [21]! • If the lower bolt [3] is in the lower receiver [23], the viamobil has to be tilted forwards as shown in the figure so that the upper bolt [4] is inserted into the upper receiver [22] of the bracket on both sides.
2.4 Selecting Requested Speed The following features are assigned to the data on the scale [14] on the headset [11]: • Setting „0“: viamobil is switched off; LED status display is not active. • Settings 1-6: positions of the speeds to be attained (from 1 = 1 km/h to 6= 6 km/h, continuously selectable), LED status display lights up.
Kerbs have to be crossed in backwards drive with the viamobil swit- ched 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 stated by the manufacturer of the wheelchair as well as the instructions in chapter 0.2 when driving over kerbs.
2.8 Retracting Drive Wheels Both drive wheels [1] can be retracted if the wheelchair should be moved without the motorised support of the viamobil. Go ahead as follows to carry out this procedu- • if you haven‘t already switched off the viamobil, proceed to switch it off (see chapter 2.7).
If Alber anti-tippers are attached to your wheelchair (see chapter 8, anti- tippers) then they have to be removed to be able to remove the viamobil from the wheelchair.
3. Rechargeable battery pack 3. Inserting Rechargeable Battery Pack into Drive Unit • Place the rechargeable battery pack [15] on the base carrier [5] of the drive unit and insert. • While inserting, press the rechargeable battery pack [15] slightly downwards just before •...
The reason could be a defect on the viamobil if fuses have to be replaced more often. In such cases please get in touch with your specialist dealer or the Alber Service Centre regarding a technical inspection of your viamobil.
• After the service life of the battery has expired, it can be returned to Alber or an Alber specialist dealer for professional disposal. The rechargeable battery pack of your viamobil can be discharged and charged in any user-defined situation.
4. Storage • Store your viamobil on an easy-to-clean mat if possible. If your viamobil is parked without the wheelchair, it should be propped up against a wall etc. • If your viamobil is not started up for a longer period of time, the device - and especially the rechargeable battery pack - is to be stored in a dry environment, preferably at room temperature (+15 °C to 25 °C).
5. Transport 5. Dismantling viamobil into Components Your viamobil can be dismantled into individual components for transport purposes. Go ahead as follows to carry out this procedure: • Remove the rechargeable battery pack (see chapter 3.2). • Loosen and remove the hand wheel [6]. (Do not lose the hand wheel during transport!) •...
5.2 Assembling viamobil Handle Bar • Release and remove the clamping screw [10] from the clamping yoke [9]. • Open the clamping yoke [9] with a hexagon socket screw key (key width 6mm) and insert the handle bar [8] into the receiver on the headset [11] to correspond with the marking you previously made (see chapter 5).

Caution Danger of crushing! Do not touch the area near the mechanical guide during assembly of the hand grips and drive unit.
6. Handle Bar Settings 10 9 10 9 Your specialist dealer is responsible for delivering viamobil, assembling individual components and attaching the device to the wheelchair. This specialist dealer will adjust the device, especially the handle bar [8], individually to suit the height and ergonomic needs of the user.
The electronics has determined a defect on the viamobil, if a blink code is displayed which is different to those mentioned in the above-mentioned table. Further driving is no longer possible in such cases. Please get in contact with your specialist dealer or the Alber Service Centre (see inside cover flap for address).
(see chapter 2.8). No further driving is usually possible if another malfunction occurs, which is not listed in the table above. Please get in contact with your specialist dealer or the Alber Service Centre (see inside cover flap for more details).
8. Anti-tipers Alber anti-tippers are only available as an optional accessory for your viamobil, because most wheelchairs are already equipped with anti-tippers as part of their standard equipment. The forks [28] required for driving are already attached to the bracket if anti-tippers are ordered and delivered together with the viamobil.
9. Tips on First-time Driving Your viamobil has been prepared by Alber or your specialist dealer and delivered to you. We would therefore like to subsequently give you two tips on first-time driving. • Both drive wheels of the viamobil are approx 2 cm above the ground when in resting position.
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: •...
snow, ice or through deep puddles of water). • Never leave your viamobil unsupervised - when switched on or off. If this can, however, not be avoided, the removal of the rechargeable battery pack protects against the unauthorised use of your viamobil. •...

Extreme care should be taken when crossing main roads, crossings and level crossings. Never cross over any tracks or rails in streets or on level crossings when your wheelchair is parallel to the tracks or rails, because the wheels could otherwise perhaps get stuck in them.
It is recommended that you recharge the rechargeable battery pack after every use whenever possible. Only use the Alber mains battery charger supplied with the viamobil for charging the rechargeable battery pack. This switches itself off automatically as soon as the rechargeable battery pack is charged.
.4 Disposal Your viamobil and its rechargeable battery pack are long-lasting products. After their natural service life has expired, these components can be returned to Alber or an Alber specialist dealer for professional and environmentally-friendly disposal. .5 Reuse If you were provided with your viamobil by your health insurance and no longer require its use, please get in contact with your health insurance or health care spe- cialist.
2. Warranty, Guarantee and Liability 2. Warranty for Defects Alber guarantees that the viamobil is free from defects at the time of delivery. These warranty claims expire 24 months after delivery of the viamobil. 2.2 Service Life Guarantee Alber provides a 24 month service life guarantee on the viamobil (exception: 12...
