The Dahl VarioDock™ (1.) is designed to retain manual and
electric wheelchairs, as well as Dahl's seat bases in the
vehicle's floor. A control module (6.) controls and monitors
Dahl VarioDock™'s features, distributes power to the various
components, as well as receiving and sending signals to and
from the control panel. Wires are included. Do not carry out
any modifications to the supplied wiring or other components.
A lock plate and an 8mm spacer (2.) must be fitted under the
wheelchair. When the wheelchair is manoeuvred towards the
VarioDock™, the wheelchair is guided into place by means of
the lock plate.
When the lock plate is fully engaged in the VarioDock, a spring-
loaded lock pin (3.) automatically secures the lock plate.
VarioDock™ is equipped with a built-in control switch that
indicates whether the lock plate is correctly secured in the
VarioDock™.
As soon as the lock plate comes into contact with the locking
pin, a warning tone will sound (a high-pitched alarm sound),
and the red LED (5.6.) in the control panel will light up until
the lock plate is either fully engaged or else the wheelchair is
removed from the VarioDock™. With the wheelchair correctly
secured, the warning tone stops and the green LED (5.7.) in
the control panel will light up to indicate, that the wheelchair
is properly secured. The control panel (5.) (see descriptions
of control panel's functions on page 32) is connected to an
electromagnet which triggers/releases the lock pin for approx. 5
or 8 seconds, after which it is automatically locked once more.
In case of an electrical fault, there is a manual emergency
release (4.) on the front edge of the VarioDock. The red piece
of webbing on the release arm should be pulled sideways
and held in order to release the wheelchair. You can also
use the emergency release tool, which is delivered with the
VarioDock™.

Securing the wheelchair in the docking station:
Make sure that the leg rests are not colliding with the ramp or
the docking station when entering the vehicle.
1. Manoeuvre the wheelchair slowly and in a uniform direction
over the docking station. The lock plate under the wheelchair
helps to guide the wheelchair into place in the docking
station. When the lock plate is fully engaged in the docking
station, a spring-action locking pin automatically secures the
lock plate.
2. The docking station is equipped with a control switch that
indicates whether the lock plate is correctly secured in the
docking station. As soon as the lock plate comes into contact
with the locking pin, a warning tone will sound (a high-
pitched howl), and the red diode/lamp (LED) in the control
panel will light up until the lock plate is either fully engaged
or else the wheelchair is removed from the docking station.
3. As an indication that the wheelchair is properly secured, the
warning tone will cease, the red diode in the control panel
will go out and the green diode lamp (LED) will light up.
4. Do not forget to buckle up for driving.
Release from the docking station
1. When the vehicle has been brought to a halt, remove the
safety belt.
2. To unlock commence by driving the wheelchair forward
to release pressure on the lock pin and then press the red
release button in the control panel. The locking pin will
be triggered/released for approx. 5 seconds, after which
the locking pin is automatically locked/activated again. Do
not attempt to reverse out of the docking station until the
red LED on the control module, which indicates the unlock
position, has been illuminated.
WARNING! Attempting to reverse the wheelchair before
the red LED has been illuminated will result in blocking the
docking stations lock mechanism, which makes it impossible
to reverse. If this happens repeat above unlocking procedure.
3. Move the wheelchair away from the docking station within
this 5-second period.
Manual release in case of electrical failure
1. In the event of electrical failure, a manual emergency release
is located at the front edge of the docking station. Move
wheelchair forward to release pressure on the lock pin and
push the red release arm to one side and hold it there while
the wheelchair reverses out of the docking station.
2. A cable-activated manual operating lever can also be fitted
(accessory). The red release arm must pushed to one side
and should be held there whilst the wheelchair moves away.
3. If the described manual release procedures fails, an
emergency release tool made from red plastic comes with
each docking station.
Move wheelchair forward to release pressure on the lock pin
and place the emergency release tool in the gap between the
locking plate and the docking station. Push the release tool
forward until the locking pin will has been forced down - after
which the wheelchair can be reversed out of the docking
station.
