1. Introduction
Dear user,
You have decided on a high-quality Bischoff & Bischoff 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, the sag of the backrest 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 Bischoff & Bischoff
mobility dealers.
1.1. Signs and Symbols
Warning! These are especially safety-relevant
instructions. Follow the directions in the manual!
Important! This is especially useful information on
a given subject.
2. Important Safety Instructions
2.1. General Safety Instructions
• 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.
• Please make sure that all parts have been properly installed before
using the wheelchair.
• Practice driving on level, unobstructed ground before first use.
Get a good understanding for the way the wheelchair brakes and
accelerates when driving straight ahead or a curve.
• 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.
• The wheelchair may not be used for transport of more than one
person or any additioonal load. Make sure to only use it for the
intended purpose.
• Never use the wheelchair under the influence of alcohol or other
substances that may impair your attention and/or your physical
and mental capacity.
• Please make sure to always use ramps to overcome obstacles.
• Avoid hitting obstacles (steps, curbs) at full speed.

Bischoff & Bischoff GmbH | 14.02.2020

Eltego | Electric Wheelchair Electric Wheelchair | Eltego
• Please pay attention to the anti-tipper wheels when climbing steps,
lifting platforms and ramps. Make sure there is enough clearance
on top, on the bottom and on the sides.
• The control unit must always be switched off when getting in or out
of the wheelchair.
• All road traffic regulations must be observed when driving on
public roads.
• The rear lights at the wheelchair must always be visible to other
road users.
• If possible, wear bright, conspicuous clothing. This will make it
easier for other road users to see you.
• Please note that the upholstery will heat up if directly exposed to
sunlight and may cause injuries to your skin when touched. You
should therefore cover these parts or protect the wheelchair from
exposure to direct sunlight.
Please note that operating the wheelchair in push
mode by uncoupling the drive mechanism will deac-
tivate the electro-magnetic brakes. The wheelchair
should therefore only be used on level ground in this
mode. Non-observance may lead to life-threatening
situations.
2.2. Advice Regarding EMC
Interference
Despite meeting all applicable EMC guidelines and standards it is
possible that the wheelchair will experience interference from other
electrical devices (e.g. cell phones) or interfere with these. Should
you notice such interference, either turn off the other device or your
electric wheelchair and move it outside the interference range.
2.3. Brakes
After letting go of the joy-stick, the automatic brakes will slow the
wheelchair until it comes to a complete stop.
In push mode, the drive mechanism is decoupled and there is no
handbrake. To secure the chair you have to engage the drive again.
2.4. Use on Public Roads
The wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Please keep in mind that you are using public roads and therefore
have to observe all road traffic regulations.
Do not endanger other road users through inconsiderate driving,
especially on walkways.
2.5. Purpose
The Eltego electric wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use
by persons with impaired mobility.
It is therefore sufficiently compact and agile for indoor use and
also capable of handling medium distances and overcoming small
obstacles outdoors. It is classified under category B according to the
EN 12184 standard. The maximum load capacity is 120 kg.

3.4. Summary
3.5. Basic Settings
It is necessary to adjust the wheelchair to your body size before
first use. This is the only way to ensure a correct posture allowing
long drives without tiring. Below you find a description of the basic
settings of the wheelchair. You should carry out these adjustments
with the help of your mobility dealer. You need a set of 4 mm, 5 mm
and 6 mm Allen keys, a screw driver and ring spanners, 10 and 13.
3.5.1. Leg Supports
Length of lower leg supports
• The lower leg supports can be adjusted from 470 to 550 mm.
• To do so, loosen the two Allen screws (SW 4).
• Adjust to the desired height.
• Tighten the screws again. Use Loctite 243 to lock screws in place.
Make sure to always use two screws for secure fas-
tening!
Angle of footrest
• The angle of the footrests is adjustable in 25° steps.
• Loosen the screwing at the side of the footrest.
• Adjust to the desired angle.
• Tighten the screw again. Use Loctite 243 to lock screw in place.

3.5.2 Backrest
The angle of the backrest of your electric wheelchair has a manual
recline function and can be easily adjusted to the wanted position by
pulling the strap at the lower end of the backrest. You also have the
option of folding the backrest completely down to the front.
• You can adjust the angle of the backrest from 90° to 120° in four
steps.
• Pull the cable behind the back while holding the backrest with the
other hand.
• After letting go of the cable the bolts will lock into place.
3.5.3 Backrest Sag
A well-adjusted backrest makes it easier to relax and sit for a long
time and effectively reduces the risk of developing pressure sores.
Make sure there is enough sag in the pelvic area.
• Remove the padding from the tension straps of the backrest.
• Loosen the Velcro fasteners on the straps.
• The straps are adjusted one after the other from the bottom up.
• Slide the padding over the tension straps again.
3.5.4. Suspension
You can adjust the suspension to your weight for a comfortable drive.
• You will need a special wrench to adjust the spring deflection.
(Please contact the service department)
• Pushing the spring together results in a reduced spring deflection
and a “harder” setting.
• Expanding the spring increases the spring deflection and
guarantees a “softer” setting.
Make sure that both suspensions on the right and
left are adjusted the same.
3.5.5. Armrests
The armrests can be completely taken off to be able to get in and out
of the chair from the side. In addition, the height of the armrests can
be adjusted. They can also be adjusted sideways by adjusting the side
parts (see side parts).
Removing the armrests
• To remove the armrest, loosen the wing bolt and pull out the
armrest to the top.
• When installing the armrest, make sure it is inserted all the way
and fastened again.
Adjusting the height
• First take the armrest out of the mounting.
• Remove the arresting bolt and screw it back into the armrest at the
desired position.
• The lowest hole represents the maximum height of the armrest.

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.
4.4. Push Mode Operation
If you want to push the wheelchair manually in certain situations,
the brakes have to be disengaged. In the free-wheeling mode the
wheelchair is easy to push. The drive of the Eltego is equipped with
mini-switches that deactivate automatically when free wheel mode is
activated. When the on/off button is pressed, the battery indicator
blinks nine times; the wheelchair can no longer be operated.
Warning! The electro-mechanical brakes then don’t
work.
• Move the release lever up into the “Free Wheel” position (right and
left).
• A small jolt will let you know that the drive is now disengaged.
• To re-engage the drive, push the lever back into the “Drive”
position. It will lock automatically.

serve as reflectors simultaneously.
The active components are controlled with a button next to the
joystick (fig. 24). Press the button briefly to switch the lighting system
on/off. Hold the button down to adjust the brightness. The lighting
system is independent of the controller and can also be operated
when the wheelchair is switched off. When exiting the wheelchair,
make sure that the light is switched off.
4.8. Rear reflectors
The electric wheelchair is equipped with two rear reflectors which at
the same time also serve as reflectors.
Switch the rear on as soon as it starts to get dark, or when there
are poor light conditions, so as to get a better perception of your
surroundings.
They are attached by a clip to the frame at the back and can simply
be pulled away to the side. By pressing the red button, you can switch
on the rear reflex reflector, choose between different flashing modes
and also switch it off again.

6. Maintenance Tips for Users
6.1. Cleaning and Disinfection
Make sure the wheelchair is turned off before cleaning it.
• The frame and the paneling of the wheelchair can be cleaned with
a moist cloth. You can use a mild detergent for more stubborn dirt.
• The wheels can be cleaned with a wet synthetic fiber brush (do not
use a wire brush!)
• You can remove dust and small stains from your seat, backrest and

Bischoff & Bischoff GmbH | 14.02.2020

armrests with a moist cloth. Do not use any aggressive cleaning
agents, since they could disintegrate the surface of the fabric. The
upholstery can be washed in 40°C water and disinfected with a
commercially available disinfectant.
• Make sure that the electric and electronic components do not come
into contact with water unnecessarily!
6.2. Check Before Use
6.2.1. Brake Inspection
Make sure your brakes are operating properly before each use.
Start off carefully and letDo not use the wheelchair if it is behaving
abnormally or erratically.e to a complete stop.
When stopped, the mechanical brakes must engage with an audible
click. Should you notice any unusual braking behavior, please notify
your qualified mobility dealer right away and ensure the wheelchair is
not being used.
The motor brake is functioning correctly if you can’t push the
wheelchair when it is turned off.
Should you nevertheless be able to do so, then the electro-magnetic
brakes are defective. In this case you may no longer use the
wheelchair. Contact your qualified mobility dealer immediately.
6.2.2. Checking the lights and horn
Make sure your lights and horn are functioning properly before each
use.
If a unit under inspection does not react when the corresponding
button on the control panel is pushed, please notify your qualified
mobility dealer immediately and ensure the wheelchair is not being
used.
6.2.3. Inspection of Tires
Before embarking on any journey, check that the tires are in good
condition. Carry out a regular check of the tread depth of the tires
once a month. This should be at least 1 mm.
Any faulty or worn out tires must be changed through the specialist
retailer.
6.3. Batteries
Your wheelchair is equipped with maintenance-free gel batteries
whose fluid level doesn’t need to be checked and which are
electronically protected against total discharge.
Should your wheelchair not be used for a longer time, it should be
connected to the charging unit every 2 months; otherwise a total
discharge could destroy the batteries.
Before driving off, just look at the battery status display on your
control panel to check the charging status of your batteries. If only
the red LEDs light up in the battery status display, then you shouldn’t
drive for longer distances but connect the wheelchair to the charging
unit immediately.
We recommend connecting the charging unit after every use.
Warning!
Do not use a high-pressure or steam cleaner.
Warning!
Do not use the wheelchair if it is behaving

11. Transport
You can determine whether or not your wheelchair is approved for use
as a seat in a vehicle for transporting disabled people by referring to
the symbols on the CE sticker on the product:
Wheelchair suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle for
transporting disabled people (fig. A)
Wheelchair not suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle for
transporting disabled people (fig. B, D)
All products approved by B+B for use as seats in vehicles are tested
in accordance with ISO 7176-19. The tests in accordance with ISO
7176-19 were performed using restraint systems from AMF-Bruns. The
correct mounting of the restraint system is a prerequisite for the safe
transportation of the products in a vehicle for transporting disabled
people and the basis for the approval.
Fixation points on the restraint system (fig. C)
The restraint systems from AMF-Bruns provide the ideal points for the
provision of restraint force for the purpose of securing the products in
the vehicle for transporting disabled people (known by the German
term „Kraftknoten“, which is defined in the standard DIN 75078-2).
For the purpose of providing restraint in the vehicle for transporting
disabled people (fig. C), the products must only be secured at these
specific points („Kraftknoten“ points). If possible, use a permanently
installed car seat and its belt system. Stow the wheelchair in the
luggage space. The person responsible for the transportation should
be familiar with the current regulations for transportation as well as
with the method of operating the vehicle for transporting disabled
people and the restraint system. Anchored 4-point restraint systems
must be used to secure the wheelchair in the vehicle. If you have
any queries about securing your product in a vehicle for transporting
