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.
•
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 up the wheelchair at parts which 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, 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 note there is a risk of entrapment between moving parts
when adjusting, using and maintaining the wheelchair.
•
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.
•
Avoid running against obstacles (steps, kerbs) without braking or
moving down steps.
•
When getting into or out of the wheelchair, apply both parking
brakes.
1. Preliminary remark
Dear user,
By purchasing your Bischoff & Bischoff Pyro light Optima folding
wheelchair, you are getting a top German product which sets new
standards with its variability. The Pyro Start Plus is made for indoor
and outdoor use.
The wheelchair is offered in the Pyro Light Optima (model no.: 1331)
and Pyro Light Optima XL (model no.: 1321) models. The Pyro Light
Optima XL is popular due to the high user weight with double cross-
brace and reinforced frame.
These operating instructions intend to help you to familiarise yourself
better with the operating and the handling of your wheelchair. Before
using your new 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.
For visually impaired users, this document is available as a PDF file at
