B+B EJOY MD (01) PDF Document

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 B+B EJOY MD 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 B+B EJOY MD electric wheelchair must only be used to transport one person. Please respect the intended use (see Chapter 2.6).

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

Never use the B+B EJOY MD 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 B+B EJOY MD 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 B+B EJOY MD 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 B+B EJOY MD 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 B+B EJOY MD wheelchair can get very cold, so please avoid skin contact if this is the case.

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

Despite compliance with all applicable EMC Directives and standards, it is possible that the B+B EJOY MD 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 B+B EJOY MD electric wheelchair and move it beyond the range of interference.

When in motion, the motors act as an operating brake. To brake the B+B EJOY MD 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 B+B EJOY MD electric wheelchair in good time. Particularly when approaching people or when driving downhill.

Switch the B+B EJOY MD wheelchair off using the on/off switch (see Chapter 4.2).

If the drives are engaged, you cannot push or move the B+B EJOY MD electric wheelchair (see Chapter 4.13).

In order to be able to push the B+B EJOY MD wheelchair, pull the release levers on both sides of the wheelchair upwards (see Chapter 4.7).

If the wheelchair is switched on, then the battery status display will flash. For pushing mode you can switch the wheelchair off.

Please note that push mode by disconnecting the electromagnetic brakes must only be used on flat ground. The electromechanical brake is then disabled. Non-observance means danger to life.

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 B+B EJOY MD electric wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use for adults who cannot walk. Unless otherwise described, the instructions in this instruction manual are directed at the occupant of the chair as the operator.

Adjusting the calf pad is the same as for the horizontally adjustable leg support (see Chapter 3.5.2).

Make sure that the B+B EJOY MD wheelchair is switched off.

Remove the attachments such as the back cushion and seat pad. The back cushion and seat pad are secured with hook and loop fastenings to prevent them slipping.

Loosen the hook and loop fastener of the backrest sling and remove it.

Remove both fixing screws on the sleeve of the push handle.

Then loosen the front and rear screws on the underside of the seat surface.

First adjust one of the seat halves (left or right) and then the other one after that. When moving the seat halves, make sure that the sleeve on the push handle does not tilt during the procedure, if necessary, rotate the sleeve slightly so that the push handle tubes become loose again. Adjust both sides to the same level.

First move just one seat half to the required width, you can use the number scale on the seat surface as a guide.

Then re-tighten the front and rear fixing screws for this side under the seat.

Then push the other seat half to the required width.

Re-fix the screws under the seat and then the screws of the sleeve on the push handle. Use medium-strength screw lock liquid to do this.

Contact your dealer if the tyres are defective or worn.

Your B+B EJOY MD wheelchair is fitted with maintenance-free batteries, so you do not need to check the liquid level.

If your B+B EJOY MD wheelchair is not used for a longer period of time, you must connect the charger every 4 weeks, otherwise the batteries could be damaged by deep discharge.

Before setting off each time, check the charge status of your battery by looking at the battery status display on your control unit. If the battery status display is only showing red LED’s, you should not travel longer journeys and connect the battery charger to the wheelchair immediately. We recommend that you connect the charger to the wheelchair after every trip.

Only use an approved charger to charge the batteries (see technical data). Please also follow the operating instructions for the charger!

The batteries of your B+B EJOY MD wheelchair must be fully charged before first use. To do this, connect the charger supplied to the wheelchair (please refer to the instruction manual supplied separately with the charger for details).

The charging process can take up to 12 hours, depending on the size and charge status of the batteries. As with all future charging processes, the charge status must be read on the charger and not on the battery display of the B+B EJOY MD wheelchair.

Depending on the lead battery technology (AGM or Gel), the maximum usable battery capacity is only reached after several charging processes (up to 10 complete charging processes). During this time, take particular care not to run the batteries completely flat and to recharge them as fully as possible after each ride.

The charge status must be read on the charger and not on the display of the scooter.

If possible, fully charge the B+B EJOY MD wheelchair batteries before every journey. Familiarise yourself with the function of the battery indicator (see operating instructions for your wheelchair) and check it regularly during the journey. Plan your journeys so, that there is always enough battery charge to enable you to return to the starting point or, if necessary, to the next charging point.

If the battery charge level is very low, depending on the B+B EJOY MD wheelchair model, an acoustic warning, e.g. a repetitive double beep, is emitted in addition to the flashing battery indicator (see chapter 10). From this point onwards, the remaining range of the B+B EJOY MD wheelchair is very short – a few hundred metres to a few kilometres – please charge the batteries fully immediately! The warning tone is only deactivated after the batteries have been fully charged (see display on the charger).

If the warning tone is still active despite full charging, acknowledge the warning tone as follows: With the charger still connected to the B+B EJOY MD wheelchair and switched on, switch the wheelchair on using the on/off button or the driving key and switch it off again after a few seconds.

Please also observe the instructions for use of the supplied charger, which are described on the charger itself and in the operating instructions for the charger. Only use the charger supplied and approved by Bischoff & Bischoff!

During subsequent use, you can recharge the batteries at any battery level.

You can also interrupt the charging process if the batteries are not yet full, e.g. because you want to continue driving.

If possible, however, always charge the batteries to 100 % so that you have as much range as possible.

Do not charge frozen batteries.
