1. Introduction

1.1. Intended purpose

The Erivo is an electric wheelchair. It is intended as a medical aid for disabled persons and serves to enhance their mobility and flexibility.
1.2. Important safety notes – please observe at all times
For safety reasons, the Erivo must only be operated by persons who
• have been instructed in its handling,
• can move and coordinate both hands or arms without major restrictions,
• have the physical and mental ability to safely operate the wheelchair in all possible situations (e.g. road traffic) and, in the event of
the electrically driven wheels failing to work, are able to brake the wheelchair and stop safely,
• are not under the influence of medication (which impairs reaction times) or alcohol.
A one-to-one instruction session on handling and operating the device is included in the scope of delivery. Please contact your specialist
dealer or Alber GmbH agent to arrange for a training session. The instruction is free of charge.
If you feel a little unsure about how to handle your Erivo, please contact your specialist dealer for advice.
In the event of technical faults, please contact your specialist dealer or the Alber Service Centre, telephone 0800 9096 250 (toll-free;
only applies within the Federal Republic of Germany).

When operating the Erivo, the specifications (e.g., maximum slope, air pressure of front wheels, etc.), as well as the general operating
instructions, must be strictly adhered to. Never exceed any of the specified limit values.
We recommend refraining from trips in locations that are exposed to strong electric fields.
In rare cases, the operation of the Erivo may interfere with other electrical devices such as anti-shoplifting barriers in department stores.
You must not use the Erivo on escalators or moving walkways.
If carrying out sporting activities in the wheelchair, such as lifting weights or similar, switch off the Erivo.
Similarly, combining the Erivo with accessories that have not been approved by Alber is also prohibited.
It is prohibited to commission the Erivo before being instructed in how to use it.
Contact your authorised specialist dealer or Alber agent for this instruction.
Commissioning the Erivo before receiving instruction is contrary to proper use and will, among other things,
invalidate the warranty. Any use contrary to proper use involves a risk of injury.
