1 Symbols and safety instructions
DANGER - Immediately imminent danger
If not avoided, this will result in death or severe bodily injuries!
WARNING - Possibly imminent danger
If not avoided, this may result in death or severe bodily injuries!
CAUTION - Possibly imminent danger or harmful situation
If not avoided, this may result in minor bodily injuries or damage to property!
iNOTE - Information by the manufacturer
General safety instructions
iNOTE
Read the user manual prior to start-up and observe the warning notices and safety instructions.
In the event of reading disabilities, cover training content in more depth verbally.
The user manual must be kept in a safe place after reading through it.
Some materials have a certain fuel grade and are therefore made of special ame-retardant material.
Nevertheless, the V-MAX mini must be kept away from sources of ignition, as it does not consist
exclusively of ame-retardant materials.
The V-MAX mini may interfere with highly sensitive electromagnetic elds of other electronic devices
(e.g. anti-theft devices).
Stability tests were performed under laboratory conditions. The V-MAX mini may behave di󰀨erently
under real conditions compared to laboratory tests.
Training may only be carried out by the manufacturer, the AAT eld sta󰀨 or the qualied specialist shop.
We generally recommend the use of a wheelchair with drum brakes, as the V-MAX mini does not
include an own brake function.
CAUTION
External heat sources may cause the surface temperature to rise (e.g. sunlight)!
Do not touch the a󰀨ected surfaces in this case to avoid burns!

2 Explanation of the symbols on the packaging
DANGER
The V-MAX mini must not be operated in the case of severe visual impairment and/or blindness!
Do not exceed the total permissible weight and the maximum person weight, as this may lead to de-
fects or overload the V-MAX mini.
Avoid driving in heavy rain, ice, snow and on unsurfaced ground (sand, mud, loose crushed rock) to
prevent slipping!
Do not use on escalators or travellators to avoid injuries caused by a crash or the falling out of the
occupant and the occurrence of damage to property!
The operability of the V-MAX mini may be inuenced by electromagnetic elds (e.g. by mobile
phones, electric generators, or high-voltage sources)!
Do not store near medical devices, for example with a life support function,
and diagnostic devices, as these may malfunction!

(1) Observe the maximum load according to the wheelchair manufacturer's information.
(2) According to ISO 7176-4, the distance range depends, among other factors, on the weight of the transported person, the ground, the terrain prole, the
ambient temperature, etc.
(3) The rated slope also depends on the surface, terrain prole, ambient temperature etc.
(4) The person weight on the type plate and in the technical data were calculated using an assumed wheelchair weight of 20 kg.
(5) At temperatures below 0 °C the performance of the battery pack will decrease; therefore we recommend a storage temperature of at least 0 °C.

5.3 Drive unit
CAUTION - Plug-in contacts must be dry!
DANGER- The drive unit must be fully inserted in the bracket, as otherwise it may move unex-
pectedly and the drive guide shafts cannot be extended correctly!
Activate the parking brakes to
prevent the wheelchair from
rolling away.
Insert the drive unit complete-
ly into the wheelchair bracket.
Hold the drive by the carrying
handle.
iManufacturer’s information:
The width of the guide shafts has been adjusted especially for your wheelchair. If you have any ques-
tions or need to make any changes, please contact your authorised specialised dealer, the AAT eld
team or the manufacturer.
Plug the power cable into the
drive unit.
»Plug-in contact is made
magnetically!
Make sure that both guide
shafts are inserted evenly.
Manufacturer’s recommen-
dation:
Only release the parking
brakes after chapter "Assem-
bly" has been complied with
completely.
i
Turn the release switch com-
pletely to the right.
»Will be locked.

5.4 Battery
5.5 Operating unit
WARNING - The locking clamp must be tightened rmly, otherwise the operating unit can
move abruptly!
Fix the mount for the oper-
ating unit (one clamp) to the
handbrake of the wheelchair
and tighten it with the appro-
priate screws.
Plug the operating unit onto
the round tube, set the ap-
propriate angle and tighten
the grub screw. Make sure it
is tight.
i
The pre-setting is carried
out by specialised dealers or
AAT.
WARNING - Never short-circuit or connect the poles of the battery to avoid electric shocks!
WARNING - Never use the battery empty or defective, as failure of the battery on upward/
downward slopes will cause the device incl. wheelchair to freewheel and suddenly require
much more force for handling.
CAUTION - Plug-in contacts must be dry!
Insert the battery into the
lower part of the battery
holder.
Click the battery into the
upper part of the holder.
Insert the key for the battery
locking device and turn it
180°.
»The battery is locked.
For wheelchairs with drum brake

17
5.6 Anti-tip supports
WARNING - Never use without both original anti-tip supports of the manufacturer to prevent
the wheelchair from tipping backwards!
Urgent recommendation by the manufacturer: The use of anti-tip supports on the wheelchair is
strongly recommended. Two anti-tip supports are compulsory on slopes of more than 8 %.
We recommend using the wheelchair manufacturer's anti-tip supports.
WARNING - Check the anti-tip supports before initial operation to ensure safety!
Fix the mount for the operat-
ing unit (two clamps) to the
handle tube and tighten it with
the appropriate screws.
Plug the operating unit onto
the round tube, set the ap-
propriate angle and tighten
the grub screw. Make sure it
is tight.
i
The pre-setting is carried
out by specialised dealers or
AAT.
For wheelchairs without drum brake
The power assist is not a braking
aid. Braking the wheelchair must
be done by the accompanying per-
son.
That is why we always recommend
drum brakes!

18
6 Starting up
DANGER - Operation only by a single, trained person. This person must be physically and
mentally able to operate the V-MAX mini safely and must not su󰀨er from cognitive impair-
ment!
DANGER - Never use without both original anti-tip supports of the manufacturer to prevent the
wheelchair from tipping backwards!
DANGER - Avoid parallel journeys on steep hillsides or rails, to prevent the wheelchair from
overturning!
DANGER - Cross over roads, crossroads and railway crossings with increased caution!
DANGER - Use the brakes of the wheelchair when driving on slopes, as the V-MAX mini
does not include a brake function! That is why we always recommend drum brakes!
DANGER - Do not use on escalators or travellators to avoid injuries caused by a crash or the
falling out of the occupant and the occurrence of damage to property!
WARNING - Practise outdoors on a level surface and at low speed!
Press the thumb throttle only lightly > intuitive speed selection!
WARNING - Approach slopes at low speed!
WARNING - Do not drive crosswise on upward/downward slopes!
WARNING - Only perform turns on upward/downward slopes if you are physically capable of
handling the additional forces involved!
WARNING - Drive down slopes at the lowest speed and use the wheelchair 's brakes to avoid
dangerous situations! We recommend drum brakes!
WARNING - Never use the battery empty or defective, as failure of the battery on upward/
downward slopes will cause the device incl. wheelchair to freewheel and suddenly require
much more force for handling.
WARNING - Do not drive up stairs or steps to prevent the wheelchair from overturning!
WARNING - Avoid driving in heavy rain, ice, snow and on unsurfaced ground (sand, mud,
loose crushed rock) to prevent slipping!
WARNING - During breaks, when using public transport (buses, trams, etc.) and when chang-
ing seats, switch o󰀨 the V-MAX mini and apply the parking brakes of the wheelchair to
prevent it from rolling away.
WARNING - When driving on public roads, observe the road tra󰀩c regulations!
WARNING - Always operate the wheelchair with both hands to be able to react appropriately
to dangerous situations!
WARNING - In the event of blocked drive elements or a change of the driving behaviour,
V-MAX mini immediately and do not use it. Contact authorised specialist dealers or the
manufacturer!

19
iNOTE - Never pull/lift by the operating unit of the V-MAX mini as it has not been designed
