1. Introduction

Dear user,
You have decided on a high-quality Bischoff & Bischoff electric
wheelchair, and we would like to thank you for your trust.
The electric wheelchair was designed to offer you many advantages
and meet your needs. The wheelchair can be fitted to your individual
body size thanks to a multitude of adjustable features and optimal
adaptability such as the length of the lower leg, the recline of the
backrest, the sag of the backrest as well as the swing away function
of the control unit and the choice of mounting the control unit either
to the left or the right side.
The electric wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Before using your new electric wheelchair for the first time,
please read and follow the instructions in this manual carefully.
The instruction manual is an integral and necessary part of the
wheelchair. This is why you should keep it close by and include it
when passing on the wheelchair to someone else.
Any repairs and adjustments require special technical training and
may therefore only be carried out by authorized Bischoff & Bischoff
mobility dealers.
Note!
In spite of careful research and editing, incorrect information may
have crept into our operating manuals. Rights to technical changes
reserved. Illustrations may include accessories. The current version
of each instruction manual is ready for download at the Bischoff &

Before setting off, check that all attachments are properly
fixed in place.
• To avoid falls and dangerous situations, you should first practice
driving your new electric wheelchair on level, unobstructed ground.
An attendant is recommended in this case.
• Familiarise yourself thoroughly with the braking and acceleration
behaviour when driving in a straight line and into and out of
curves.
• Please note that the shifting of weight through body movements or
loading can increase the risk of tipping over to the side, to the front
or back.
• The electric wheelchair must only be used to transport one person.
Please respect the intended use (see Chapter 2.6).
• When setting up or adjusting the product, be aware of the risk of
body parts being pinched.
• Never use the electric wheelchair under the influence of alcohol
or other agents which affect your awareness or your physical and
mental capacities.
