1. Preliminary remark
Dear user:
You have chosen a top quality electric pushing aid from Bischoff &
Bischoff. We thank you for your trust in us.
The pushing aid follows the typically simple B+B use and operation
concept. The pushing aid can be folded for transport in a car. The
Togo pushing aid fits most current wheelchairs thanks to its universal
adapter plates.
All functions, such as on/off, forwards/reverse, speed regulation
and control, can be operated from the central operating unit on the
handlebar. A wheelchair equipped with the Togo pushing aid can
optionally be provided with active lighting, making it well-suited to
use outdoors.
Before operating for the first time, please read this manual carefully.
This manual is a permanent and necessary part of the Togo pushing
aid. Please keep the instruction manual within reach and place it at
the new user's disposal if the pushing aid is transferred to another user.
Repair work and adjustments require specific technical training and,
therefore, may only be carried out by specialist retailers authorised by
Bischoff & Bischoff.
