Commissioning And Travel Mode - Alber via GO V24 Gebrauchsanweisung

2. Commissioning and travel mode

The via GO is supplied to you ready for operation. This means that a bracket [8] for hold-
ing the via GO has been attached to your wheelchair and the associated control unit has
been attached to the push handles.
Your via GO is, thus, ready for operation and can be started and operated by following
the instructions in the chapters contained in this operating manual and the instructions
given in the free instruction session of your specialist dealer or a representative of Alber
GmbH.
The assembly of the drive and the control unit to the wheelchair may
only be carried out by Alber or by specialist dealers authorised by
Alber.
Regularly check the bracket [8] to ensure that it is firmly secured to
the wheelchair.
If a screw connection has become loose, contact your authorised
specialist dealer to have it retightened.
The service interface located on the drive unit [3] is reserved exclu-
sively for the specialist dealer's service work.
It must not be used by users of the via GO.
The cover for the service interface must not be removed.
As the via GO does not provide a brake function, the wheelchair must
be equipped with brakes (ideally two drum brakes) for operators who
are not physically capable of bringing the wheelchair to a stop in all
travel situations.
If the brakes are used to bring the via GO to a quick standstill, the
wheelchair user must be able, both physically and in terms of their
reaction time, to counteract the braking acceleration forces that
could occur in doing so. If the wheelchair user is not able to do this,
straps must be worn for trips with the via GO.
It is strictly prohibited for any uninstructed or unqualified persons to
use the via GO.
We strongly recommend equipping the wheelchair with anti-tippers.
The use of anti-tippers (fitted in pairs) is mandatory when navigating
inclines greater than 4.5 degrees (8%).
Follow the operating and safety instructions as well as the hazard
information contained in this operating manual before putting your
via GO into operation.
Do not operate or use the via GO if it behaves abnormally or erratically.
