1. Preliminary remark
Dear User
You have chosen a high-quality wheelchair from Bischoff & Bischoff.
Thank you for your trust in our product
This instruction manual contains all necessary information on
operating the versions of the Pyro Next.
The BX 11 is designed for use both indoors and outdoors by active
users who rely on a wheelchair.
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 instrunctions
2.1. Genaral safety instrunctions
To avoid falls and dangerous situations, you should first practice driving your
new wheelchair on level, unobstructed ground. We recommend having an
assistant with you.
•
The accompanying person should be physically and mentally capable of
operating a wheelchair.
•
Never use the wheelchair under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
•
Please make sure that all parts have been properly installed before using
the wheelchair.
•
Never lift the wheelchair by parts that are not fixed firmly (the armrests or
legrests).
•
Make sure that the screwing axle/floating axle are tightly in the axle
holder, otherwise there is risk of injuries.
•
Please note that displacing the center of gravity by shifting the body or by
adding loads may increase the risk of tipping over the wheelchair to the
side or backwards.
•
Please seek the help of an assistant person when going over obstacles,
steps, etc. Use the tip assist (see overview of wheelchair) to tip the
wheelchair appropriately.
•
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 driving on an incline or slope, it is necessary to be aware that a risk
of tipping exists even at low angles, depending on the axle position setting.
The use of anti-tippers is highly recommended.
•
The seat materials are resistant to flammability according to EN 1021-
1 and EN 1021-2. Nevertheless, you should exercise the necessary
caution when smoking and you should not put a cigarette down on the
wheelchair.Avoid running against obstacles (steps, kerbs) without braking
or moving down steps.
•
Avoid using on uneven, loose surfaces.
•
When getting into or out of the wheelchair, apply both parking brakes.
