Reporting incidents. The operator or user must immediately report
1. any malfunction
2. any change to the features or performance as well as
3. any inaccuracies in the marking or operating instructions of
a medical device, which has or could have led to death or to a
serious deterioration of the health of a patient, an employee or a
third party, to the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices
(BfArM). This institute will immediately forward the notification
to the operator's competent authority and also inform the
manufacturer and the manufacturer's competent authority.
2.2. Advice on EMC disturbances
Despite compliance with all the applicable EMC regulations and
standards, it is possible that the electric drive may be disrupted by
other electrical devices (e.g. mobile phones) or that it may disrupt such
devices. If you observe such behaviour, switch off either the external
device or your pushing aid and move the pushing aid out of reach of
the disturbance.
2.3. Braking
Braking until a complete stop with the pushing aid active is effected by
the automatic brake after having released the control lever.
No locking brake is available in pushing mode when the driving
mechanisms are disconnected. The drives must be reconnected to lock
the brakes.

Please note that disconnecting the driving
mechanisms to push the wheelchair may only be
undertaken on a horizontal surface. As a result, the
brake is put out of operation. Danger to life in case
of non-observance!
2.4. Safety in vehicles and
transport regulations
For transporting in vehicles (cars or similar), remove the pushing aid
from the wheelchair and secure the wheelchair in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions (see operating instructions).
The pushing aid can be folded together for storage in the luggage
space. In open transport spaces, secure the pushing aid against sliding
using straps.
The battery pack must be at least 50% discharged for transporting in,
for example, aircraft.
2.5. Participation in traffic
The pushing aid is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Please
note that you are participating in public traffic and must comply with
road traffic regulations.
Do not endanger other participants through careless driving,
particularly on footpaths.
2.6. Purpose
The Togo pushing aid is an electrical auxiliary drive for manual
wheelchairs and is designed for both indoor and outdoor use.
The Togo pushing aid is thus intended solely for use with third parties,
i.e. to support the assisting person (the pusher) when pushing.
The maximum permitted overall weight is the max.
user load of the wheelchair plus the weight of the
wheelchair, up to a limit of 180 kg in total.
