about use of product.
Information!
for service-personnel.
Attention!
Read manual before use!
2.2 Common safety instructions
Read manual completely before use!
Familiarize yourself with handling and functions of the product before use and practice the
handling.
You are responsible for the safety of your child. The safety of your child could be
affected if you do not follow the instructions of this manual. Nevertheless not all possible
circumstances and unpredictable situations can be covered by this manual. Reason, care
and circumspection are not features of the product, they are required of persons, who use
the product. The person, who is using the product and its accessories should understand
all instructions and should explain them to every person using the product and its
accessories.
If instructions are not clear and further explanations become necessary, or if you have
further questions please contact your HOGGI dealer.
Strap your child at any time in the pushchair.
HOGGI points out, that any use beside the typical use can be dangerous. The pushchair
is not suitable for jogging, running, skating or similar activities. Swivelling front wheels tend
to wobble at higher speed, which can cause a sudden stop and tip over of the pushchair.
Use the pushchair only at regular walking speed.
Under no circumstances leave the handle bar while pushing and never push the chair
away.
The pushchair should only be used on solid level ground.
Use your pushchair as intended by the manufacturer. For instance, do not drive into
obstacles (including steps, curbs) without braking.
To clear obstacles such as steps and curbs, tilt the pushchair onto the rear wheels (pull it
backwards to go up; to descend, slowly lower it forward).
Do not go up or down stairs without the assistance of another person. If devices such
as ramps or elevators are available, please use them. If they are not available, then the
pushchair should be carried over the obstacle by two persons.

4
Pay particular attention when on slopes and inclines to prevent
- the child from falling out of the pushchair;
- the pushchair from tipping over;
- the pushchair from rolling away.
If you have to park on a slope, face the pushchair uphill with the brakes engaged and
ensure that the seat is in the upright position. There is a risk that the pushchair might tip
over backwards if the seat is the reclined position.
Before leaving the pushchair and before getting into and out of it, always lock the wheel
locks.
Do not stand on the footplate when getting into or out of the pushchair
Only lift the pushchair by parts that are solidly attached:
- front frame tube above the front wheels;
- rear axle;
- push handles / pushbar.
When your child reaches for objects in front, to the side or behind the pushchair, be sure
that he/she does not lean out of the pushchair too far since the shift in the center of gravity
might cause the pushchair to tilt or tip over.
The handling of the pushchair is strongly influenced by tyre pressure. Correctly inflate tyres
considerably improve its maneuverability. The air pressure should be at least 2 bar
(200 kPa resp. 29 PSI).
Please be aware that with certain footrest settings the footrest can collide with the caster
wheels.
Please keep packaging material away from children. Plastic packaging presents the
danger of suffocation.
Never leave your child unattended in the pushchair even when they are strapped in and
the brakes engaged.
Before using the pushchair, both folding guards and the seat must be firmly locked in
place.
Static stability is at 18° inclination.
Attaching heavy bags or other weight to the push handles can adversely affect stability.
The maximum weight that can be carried in the storage bags is 5 kg.
Trays must not be loaded with objects heavier than 5 kg.
The puschair is only intended to carry one child at a time.

5
The maximum load for the BINGO street frame is 50 kg.
The maximum load for the BINGO seat unit is 35 kg.
Accessories and add-ons reduce the maximum load proportionately.
Attention!
We recommend that, wherever and whenever possible, users transfer to the seats installed
in the motor vehicle and use the corresponding vehicle restraint systems, because this is
the only way to ensure optimum protection of the passengers in case of an accident.
Your BINGO Rehab Pushchair was successfully tested in accordance with ANSI/RESNA
WC/19 and ISO 7176/19 (Crash Test).
It is, however, possible to use your BINGO Rehab Pushchair as a seat in a motor vehicle, if
our “Tie down Kit” (article 3201-7300) as well as appropriate restraint systems are used.
This Rehab Pushchair is equipped with back angle and seat tilt adjustment. Before starting
you must tilt the backrest until the lock pin (A) locks into the hole (B) in the back plate. Tight
the lever (C) well after this adjustment. Using the seat tilt adjustment you must bring the
backrest into almost upright position (max. 20°). Observe the specifications under 4.6 and
4.13 in this user manual.
Caution!
Excess strap ends on accessories may be trapped between the two parts of the seat
mounting interface and prevent a full engagement of the lock pin. In such a case the seat
could fall off the mobility base. Shorten excess strap ends on accessories so that they can
not be trapped.
Check by pulling the seat sharply forward that the seat unit is properly engaged. Check
that the lock pin is completely engaged. Push in completely, if necessary.
Whenever you change any settings on the BINGO rehab pushchair, make sure that you
firmly tighten any screws that have been loosened.

properly engaged.
• Check that the lock pin is completely engaged. Push in completely,
if necessary.
Caution!
Excess strap ends on accessories may be trapped
between the two parts of the seat mounting interface
and prevent a full engagement of the lock pin. In such
a case the seat could fall off the mobility base. Shorten
excess strap ends on accessories so that they can not be
trapped. Check by pulling the seat sharply forward that
the seat unit is properly engaged. Check that the lock pin
is completely engaged. Push in completely, if necessary.
4.12 Use of the seat unit in a reverse riding direction
The seat unit can also be used in a reverse riding direction.
The pushchair can still be folded in this configuration.

4.14 Detaching wheels with quickrelease
In order to achieve a most compact folding package the rear wheels
of all models and the front wheels of the models with rigid front
wheels are detachable by quick release hubs.
To detach press the quick release spring towards the middle of the
wheel and pull the wheel from the axle.
To attach the wheel push it onto the axle until the quickrelease snaps
in automatically.
Ensure that the wheel is securely held onto the axle by pulling the
wheel without operating the quickrelease.
Ensure, that rear wheels (with perforated brake disc) get attached to
rear axle!
4.15 Suspension
The BINGO puschair is equipped with an adjustable suspension.
By turning the set screw in, the suspension gets harder, by turning
out softer.
Make sure that the suspension is adjusted equally on both sides.
The scale in the window of the spring housing offers an orientation.
4.16 Pneumatic tyres
All wheels are equipped with pneumatic tyres.
Maintain proper pressure at all times
Notice the air pressure indicated on the tyre.

16
5.1 Swivel lock
The swivel lock is mounted by the manufacturer or an authorized
dealer.
To lock the swivel lock turn the lock pin by 90° and let it engage in
the designated hole in the castor fork.
To open the swivel lock pull the lock pin, turn it by 90° so that it stays
in the disengaged position.
After loosening the clamping screw the track can be adjusted with
engaged swivel lock.
5.2 Storage bag
The BINGO rehab pushchair can be equipped with a spacious
storage bag, which folds with the pushchair.
The maximum weight that can be carried in the storage
bags is 5 kg (11 lb).
The storage bag is attached with clips to the cross member of the
front frame and with snap fasteners to the rear frame.
5 Accessories
All accessories not installed by the manufacturer must be installed by trained technicians.
The following notes on installation are for your information but should be performed by trained technicians.
Straps on accessories are usually extra long to accommodate every option.
Excess strap ends on accessories may be trapped between the two parts of the seat mounting
interface and prevent a full engagement of the lock pin. In such a case the seat could fall off the
mobility base. Shorten excess strap ends on accessories so that they can not be trapped.
To prevent strap ends from fraying the cut ends can be melted together with a flame.
(eg. cigarette lighter)

17
If the storage bag gets overloaded the snap fasteners will open but
can be put together again easily.
If the seat unit is mounted against driving direction, the storage bag
also is mounted in reverse direction.
5.3 Headrest pads
The headrest pads are mounted with carriage bolts and knurled nuts
on the back insert.
For an easy mounting and for adjustments open the zipper of the
upholstery cap on the rear of the back and turn the rear head
upholstery back.

18
For a rough adjustment of the headrest width the self adhesive foam
pads are glued to the left and/or the right of the headrest brackets.
The cover is put on.
After loosening the knurled nuts the headrest pads can be moved in
or out for a fine width adjustment.
The height adjustment is realized by adjustment of the back insert.
5.4 Trunk pads
The trunk pads are mounted to the back with back upholstery
removed.
The set of holes in the back base and the back insert must be in line.
Eventually the height of the backrest has to be adjusted accordingly.
The height adjustment is made through the holes chosen.
After loosening the wing nut the trunk pad width can be adjusted by
swinging the crank from horizontal to vertical.

19
After reaching the desired position and tightening the wing nuts the
back upholstery is pushed underneath the trunk pads.
The angle of the trunk pad is fixed by tightening the clamping screw
underneath the trunk pad cover.
5.5 Lap belt
On each end of the lap belt you can find pre mounted triglides, which
are passed by the belt only once.
The length of the free belt ends determine the length of the complete
lap belt.
Pass the free belt ends through the designated slots in the lower part
of the back base.
Then thread the belt ends once again through the triglides.
Open the lap belt by pushing the red key on the buckle.
The lap belt can be adjusted by pulling the belt end next to the
buckle.
