| Electric Wheelchair

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 back
support, the sag of the back support 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 Triplex can be supplied with two different control systems. The VR-2
control system offers you the possibility to adjust up to two components
electronically. The R-Net control system allows an electrical adjustment
of up to four components. These are seat angle, back angle and knee
angle (right and left). Thus, the Triplex can easily be customised to your
specific needs.
The electric wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
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.
