B+B EJOY FD (01) PDF MANUAL

Before setting off, check that all attachments are properly fixed in place.

To avoid falls and dangerous situations, you should first practice driving your new electric wheelchair on level, unobstructed ground. An attendant is recommended in this case.

Familiarise yourself thoroughly with the braking and acceleration behaviour when driving in a straight line and into and out of curves.

Please note that the shifting of weight through body movements or loading can increase the risk of tipping over to the side, to the front or back.

The electric wheelchair must only be used to transport one person. Please respect the intended use.

When setting up or adjusting the product, be aware of the risk of body parts being pinched.

Never use the electric wheelchair under the influence of alcohol or other agents which affect your awareness or your physical and mental capacities.

It is essential that you use ramps to get over obstacles. If it should be necessary to lift the Ejoy over an obstacle, then only do this without an occupant. Only use fixed frame parts to lift the chair.

Avoid driving into obstacles without braking (furniture, steps or similar items).

The control unit must always be switched off whenever you are getting in or out of the chair.

When on roads, observe the road traffic regulations.

The lighting and reflectors on the wheelchair must always be visible to other road users.

Where possible, wear bright conspicuous clothes. You will then be seen better by other road users.

Please note that upholstery parts which are subject to sunlight will heat up and could cause skin injury when touched. You should therefore cover these parts or protect the wheelchair from direct sunlight.

The seating upholstery and pads’ materials meet the flammability resistance requirements in accordance with EN 1021-2 / ISO 8191-2. Therefore do not expose the upholstery or pads or any other parts to ignition sources – such as, for example, cigarettes.

Always put the seat and backrest into an upright position when you are driving the wheelchair.

Use on slopes is only permitted when the seat and backrest are in an upright position.

At low ambient temperatures, the metal parts of the wheelchair can get very cold, so please avoid skin contact if this is the case.

If you should notice your electric wheelchair behaving unusually or if it is damaged, stop using it and contact your dealer.

Warning! Use on slopes is only permitted when the seat and backrest are in an upright position.

Attention: risk of falling! Always drive up to the kerb head on. Driving up at an angle can lead to accidents.

Warning! Always put the seat and backrest into an upright position when you are driving the wheelchair.

If you, as the operator, user or their relatives, detect possible defects or functional limitations, please contact an authorised dealer immediately. Operators, users or their relatives should inform the dealer who supplied the product of any suspected serious incidents which directly or indirectly have had or could have one of the following and by which they are affected:

– the death of a patient, user or other person,

– the temporary or permanent serious deterioration of the health of the state of health of a patient, user or other persons,

– a serious risk to public health.

You can also report this to the competent higher federal authority.

No, the Ejoy is not designed to be used as a vehicle seat. Under no circumstances may it be used as such. It does not fulfil the requirements in compliance with ISO 7176-19. Violation can cause the most serious injuries resulting in death in the case of an accident.

Check the symbols on the type plate: ‘Wheelchair is not designed for use as a seat in a vehicle for transporting individuals with impaired mobility’ or ‘Wheelchair is designed for use as a seat in a vehicle for transporting individuals with impaired mobility’.

The wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use. Keep in mind that you are using public roads and therefore have to observe all road traffic regulations.

Do not endanger other road users through inconsiderate driving, especially on pavements.

When driving, respect other road users.

Despite compliance with all applicable EMC Directives and standards, it is possible that the electric wheelchair may interfere with other electrical devices (e.g. mobile phones, alarm systems) or that its driving performance will be reduced by those devices.

If you notice such behaviour, switch off either the third-party device or your electric wheelchair and move it beyond the range of interference.

It is possible that your electric wheelchair will interfere with other devices which emit electromagnetic fields and that they will interfere with your chair.

Operating brake: When in motion the motors act as an operating brake. To brake the wheelchair slowly, move the steering and driving lever (joystick) slowly back to the neutral position (initial position). For more forceful braking, release the steering and driving lever. The braking distance is significantly longer on slopes than on flat ground. Bear this in mind when going down ramps and brake in time. Make sure that you brake your electric wheelchair in good time, particularly when approaching people or when driving downhill.

Parking brake/parking: Switch the wheelchair off using the on/off switch. If the drives are engaged, you cannot push or move the electric wheelchair.

Emergency brake: Press the on/off switch to initiate an emergency stop when driving. This will lead to intense deceleration. This can lead to injuries and is therefore only to be used in emergencies. An emergency stop must only be carried out in an emergency as it can lead to injuries.

The Ejoy electric wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use for adults who cannot walk. It is able to handle longer distances and suspension is provided to overcome small obstacles. It is classified as Category B in accordance with DIN EN 12184.

The maximum payload is:

Ejoy RD/FD/MD: 140 kg

Ejoy RD/FD/MD XL: 170 kg

Ejoy RD/FD XXL: 200 kg

Ejoy RD/FD XXL: 250 kg

Please note: Warranty is only provided if the product is used under the conditions specified and for the intended purposes.

Provision of this electric wheelchair is suitable for adults with significant through to fully-developed impairment of mobility/walking with structural and/or functional damage of the lower extremities, e.g. through:

• amputation

• paralysis

• loss of limb

• limb defects/deformity

• joint contractions

• joint damage

• musculoskeletal/neuromusculoskeletal movement disorders

• other illnesses

Provision of electric wheelchairs is generally only advised where use of manual wheelchairs is no longer possible because of the disability and the electric wheelchair can be used properly.

Provision of this electric wheelchair is not suitable for children, and for adults with:

• severe equilibrium disorders

• impaired and insufficient vision

• strongly impaired cognitive abilities

The expected service life of the electric wheelchair is up to five years, if it is used correctly, and the safety, care and maintenance instructions are followed. The electric wheelchair can be used beyond this period if it is in a condition allowing its safe usage.

The range of the Ejoy is up to 35 km. The achievable range depends on different factors:

• condition of the road surface

• way of driving

• battery condition and charge

• payload weight

• ambient temperature

• use of accessories

The stated range was calculated under test conditions: batteries as new and fully charged, ambient temperature of 21 °C, max. user weight, level firm ground, constant driving speed, deactivated lighting system.

The following factors will mean that the range is severely reduced:

• poor battery charge level

• low ambient temperature (below 10 °C)

• frequent starting and braking

• climbing hills

• driving on ground which is not firm (field or forest paths)

• incorrect or low tyre pressure

• electromagnetic fields

With a combination of several factors, the range may be reduced by up to 50%.

Warning: Never use your electric wheelchair with empty or almost empty batteries. You may endanger yourself and others by stopping unexpectedly.

1. Thoroughly clean the wheelchair before disinfection.

2. The wheelchair can be disinfected with a household disinfectant. Use approved spray disinfectants or alcohol-based wipe-on disinfectants.

3. In case of multiple product users, a commercial disinfectant is prescribed. Use only wipe-on disinfectants approved by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and the Association for Applied Hygiene (Verbund für Angewandte Hygiene e.V.) (e.g., Bacillol AF or Kohrsolin FF); follow manufacturer’s recommendations for exposure time and concentration.

4. Caution: Damaged upholstery parts cannot be sufficiently disinfected and should be replaced.

5. Under certain circumstances, surfaces can be affected by disinfectants, potentially restricting functionality long-term.

Attention: Danger of infection! If there are several users, the wheelchair must be cleaned after each use.

Checking the brakes:

• Start up carefully and let the driving lever return to neutral. The wheelchair must halt as usual.

• When stationary, the electromechanical brake must lock with an audible click. If defects are noticed, notify your dealer immediately and discontinue use.

• Check if you can push the wheelchair when it’s switched off. If you can, the electromagnetic brake is defective. Stop using the wheelchair and contact your dealer immediately.

Checking the lighting, indicators and horn:

• Check that the horn works properly.

• Check that the lights and indicators function when their respective buttons are pressed.

• If there is no response, notify your dealer immediately and take the wheelchair out of use.

Checking the tyres:

• Check tyres are intact.

• Check tread depth (should be at least 1 mm).

• Check air pressure matches values in technical data (Chapter 6).

• Contact your dealer if tyres are defective or worn.

The wheelchair uses maintenance-free batteries; you don’t need to check the liquid level.

If the wheelchair is unused for a longer period, connect the charger every 4 weeks to prevent deep discharge damage.

Check the battery status display before each trip. If only red LEDs show, avoid long journeys and charge immediately.

Connect the charger after every trip if possible.

Warning: Never use your electric wheelchair with empty or almost empty batteries. You could stop unexpectedly, endangering yourself and others.

• Only use an approved charger (see technical data) and follow its operating instructions.

• Charge between 0° and 40° C.

• Before first use, fully charge the batteries. This can take up to 12 hours. Maximum capacity (AGM or Gel) is reached after several (up to 10) full charge cycles. Avoid running batteries completely flat during this time.

• Procedure:

1. First switch off the wheelchair.

2. Check the power supply is 230 V.

3. Connect the charger to the charging socket (located on the side below the control unit) and then to the mains socket.

4. Read the charge status on the charger, not the wheelchair display.

5. Once charging is complete, disconnect the mains plug, then disconnect the charger from the wheelchair.

• Charge monthly if not in use to prevent deep discharge.

• Store batteries upright, dry, and frost-free.

• Replace batteries if range decreases noticeably even when fully charged.

• You can interrupt charging if needed, but always charge to 100% when possible for maximum range.
