Frontal transfer
•
Remove the legrests (see Chapter 4.2).
•
Make sure that the front of the wheelchair and the current or future
seat are as close to each other as possible and apply the parking
brakes on both sides (see Chapter 4.10.1).
•
If you are transferring from another wheelchair or indoor frame,
secure these by applying the parking brakes.
•
Now slide onto the seat surface by rotating your body.
•
Then hang the legrests back into the initial position and flip the
footplates down.

Going up or down stairs or a
high obstacle
The helpers only grip on the firmly fixed frame parts (Fig. 33). In order
to go up stairs, the rear helper pulls the wheelchair backwards up the
steps by holding onto firmly-mounted handles. The lower helper grips
on the front frame tubes and stabilises the wheelchair. When doing this
he pushes the drive wheels of the wheelchair onto the steps.
When descending, the lower helper brakes the chair by pressing

the wheelchair straight into the steps. The upper helper holds the
wheelchair by the push handles, keeps it secure and holds it in the
right position. The wheelchair should roll down step by step.

Driving the wheelchair
•
Sit in your Bischoff & Bischoff wheelchair. Make sure that you sit as
far back as possible.
•
Propulsion is achieved using the handrims on the drive wheels.
Place your hands on the handrims using your thumbs and bent
index fingers.
•
From this position, push the wheelchair with both hands (Fig. 34).
•
Turning right: hold the right handrim tight and only push with the
left one
•
Turning left: push in the opposite way
•
Turning on the spot: push the handrims in opposite directions at
the same time
•
Braking: reduce the speed of the handrims with your hands.
Carry out the first test drives carefully, until you have got used to
the wheelchair and its driving characteristics. Wheelchairs only have
limited security against tipping over and slipping. Take extra care when
braking, starting off or turning on slopes. Extended leaning out of the
wheelchair also increases the risk of tipping over. Tipping protection
reduces this risk. For easier obstacle negotiation, the attendant can tip
the wheelchair (see Chapter 4.15).
