Technical data

1. Preliminary remark
Dear user:
You have chosen a top quality scooter from Bischoff & Bischoff. We
thank you for your trust in us.
The scooter has been designed so that it offers you many advan-
tages and meets your requirements. The scooter can be adapted to
your individual body dimensions due to manifold setting possibili-
ties and optimum adaptability .
The scooter is designed solely for outdoor use.
Before operating your new scooter for the very first time, please
read this manual carefully. This manual is a permanent and neces-
sary part of the scooter. Please keep the instruction manual within
reach and place it at the new user’s disposal, if the scooter is trans-
ferred to another user. Repair work and adjustments require specific
technical training and, therefore, may only be carried out by spe-
cialist retailers authorised by Bischoff & Bischoff.
2. Important safety information
2.1 General safety information
In order to avoid toppling and dangerous situations, you should
practice safe handling of your new scooter on a flat and familiar
surface. In such case, an assistant is recommended.
Prior to using the scooter, please check whether all parts attached
have been fastened properly.
The first attempts at moving the scooter should take place on a
level and manageable surface. Familiarise yourself intensively with
the braking and accelerating behaviour of the scooter when moving
straight ahead and turning corners.
Please note that redistribution of weight due to body movements or
loading the scooter can increase the risk of tipping over to the side
or backwards.
The scooter may not be misused for transporting several persons or
loads. Observe the specific function of the wheelchair.
When adjusting or readjusting the scooter beware of getting trapped
with parts of your body.
Never use your scooter while under the influence of alcohol or other
substances that may influence your ability to react or your physical
and mental receptiveness.
By all means, use ramps to avoid obstacles. Should it be necessary
to lift the Ethon scooter to overcome an obstacle, lift it without
occupants only. To lift the wheelchair, only take hold of firmly at-
tached frame parts.
Avoid wheeling against obstacles (steps, kerbs) at full speed.
The control system must always be switched off when getting in
and out.
Observe the road traffic regulations when on the road.
