| Electric Wheelchair
Getting in and out from the front
• First fold up the footrests or take off the leg supports.
• Move the Eltego as close as possible to the other seat so that they
face each other.
• Should you want to transfer from or to another wheelchair or
rehabilitation stroller, secure this one first by activating the
handbrake.
• Secure the Eltego against rolling away unintentionally by pushing
the ON/OFF button and thus turning off the control (all displays
cleared).
• Now slide to the other seat by twisting your body.
• Finally, put the leg supports back into their original position.

4.3. Driving the Wheelchair

Startup
Sit down in your Bischoff & Bischoff wheelchair and rest your legs on
the footrests.
Make sure you are sitting on the seat as far back as possible. Also
make sure that no loose items of clothing such as scarves, shirts and
the like are hanging from the side of the wheelchair, since they could
be caught in the wheels!
Make sure you are sitting comfortably and securely. By pushing the
ON/OFF button the Eltego is put into operational mode.
You can now use all electrical drive control functions.

Before embarking on any journey, check that the
magnetic brake is properly locked.
Drive Control Functions
Your qualified mobility dealer can set the values for speed,
acceleration and delay within the scope of statutory specifications.
Select a low speed range at first and then increase it during your
drive, if necessary.
You can start driving by pushing the joy-stick forward. With the
joystick you can also increase the speed and control the direction
of travel. Putting the joystick in the neutral position will engage the
brakes and secure the wheelchair against rolling away.
Driving straight ahead: To drive straight ahead, carefully push
the joystick forward. The further you push the joystick forward, the
faster the wheelchair will go. If you let go of the joystick you will
automatically slow down.
Driving backwards: To drive backwards, carefully pull back on the
joystick. The further you pull back on it, the faster your wheelchair will
go. If you let go of the joystick, you will automatically slow down.
Turning: To change direction, push the joystick to the left or right.
This is also possible when the joystick is in a forward or backward
position, that is when you are going forwards or backwards.
