1. Introduction
Dear user,
You have decided on a high-quality B+B 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, length of the lower leg, the angle of the seat and the recline
of the backrest as well as the swing away function 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 B+B dealers

2. Important Safety Instructions

2.1. General Safety Instructions

• In order to avoid tipping and dangerous situations, you should
practice safe handling of your new wheelchair on a flat and familiar
surface. In such a case, an assisting person is recommended.
• Prior to using the wheelchair, please check whether all parts
attached have been fastened properly.
• Never lift the wheelchair by parts that are not fixed firmly (the
armrests or legrests).
• Ensure that instantaneous/quick-release axles are positioned
correctly in the axle holders, as otherwise there is a danger of
injury.
• Please note that the danger of tipping is increased by shifts
in weight (e.g. strong upper body movements or overcoming
obstacles).
• Steps and larger obstacles may only be crossed with the help of at
least two assisting persons. For this, use lifting points 1 and 2 (see
overview of the wheelchair). If equipment such as ramps, lifts or
step climbing aids are available, these should be used.
• When using on a downward incline, it must be noted that a danger
of tipping exists from 12% (7°). It is recommended to use tilt
protection.
• Avoid running against obstacles (steps, kerbs) without braking or
moving down steps.
• Avoid using on uneven, loose surfaces.
• An assisting person should be used if going over obstacles (steps
etc.). Use the tip assist (see overview of wheelchair) to tip the
wheelchair appropriately.
• When getting into or out of the wheelchair, apply both locking
brakes.
• Ensure a sufficient profile depth of your tyres.
• Observe the road traffic regulations when on the road.
• The passive lighting (reflectors) of your wheelchair must always be
visible to other road users.
