7. Care, maintenance, and disposal
7.1 Charging the battery
Your via GO consumes energy each time you use it. Before storing the via GO, you should never run down the battery completely, as doing
so can damage the battery in the long term. We recommend recharging the battery immediately after every use if possible.
Only use the mains charger supplied with the via GO to charge the battery. The charging process will end automatically as soon as the bat-
tery is fully charged. As such, overcharging is impossible.
For further instructions regarding the battery, see also chapter 4.
7.2 Cleaning and disinfection
• Never use benzene, thinner, acetone or similar agents for any cleaning process. Instead, use only conventional household cleaning
agents and disinfectants (isopropanol).
• The drive unit and control unit may only be wiped down with a moist (not wet) cloth.
• The bracket attached to the wheelchair is to be cleaned with a moist (not wet) cloth.
• The drive wheel should be cleaned of dirt at regular intervals, ideally with compressed air or a dry brush.
• All electrical connections (charger socket [5] and charging plug [23]) must be checked for potential contamination before connection,
as there could be metal particles such as chips or similar on the surfaces of the components. This would cause a short circuit.
• Clean the components with clean and dry cloths; never use wet or damp cloths.

Your via GO is an extremely low-maintenance device. With the exception of the tyres, the add-on drive does not contain any noteworthy
wear parts. To enable the safe transfer of the driving force of your via GO at all times, the tyres must have sufficient tread.
Disinfection instructions
• Wipe down all surfaces of the via GO and its components with a moist (not wet) cloth.
• Please note that the via GO and its components must not be sprayed with a steam jet or similar equipment.
• Apply the disinfect to all surfaces of the via GO and its components.
• Let the disinfectant act as per the manufacturer's specifications.
• Remove the disinfectant by wiping it off or as specified by the manufacturer.
In rare cases, depending on how the floor detergents or floor impregnating agents are used, visible residues
and sometimes pressure marks from the tyre are left behind on carpets and floors if the via GO is stored for a
prolonged period of time. We do not accept any liability in such cases. We generally recommend that you store
the device on hard-wearing floors and, for prolonged storage, on a protective mat or cardboard underlay.
Should you observe a deterioration of the usual travel characteristics on your via GO (e.g. irregular rolling,
spinning or slipping wheels), please contact your specialist dealer or an Alber representative to have the tyres
checked.
Service and repair work on the via GO may only be performed by authorised specialist dealers, by Alber, or by an
Alber representative. If errors occur, please contact your specialist dealer or an Alber representative for advice.
