Taiga
| Electric Wheelchair
1. Introduction
Dear user,
You have decided on a high-quality Bischoff & Bischoff electric wheelchair,
and we would like to thank you for your trust.
The electric wheelchair was designed to offer you many advantages and
meet your needs. The wheelchair can be fitted to your individual body size
thanks to a multitude of adjustable features and optimal adaptability
such as the length of the lower leg, the recline of the backrest, the sag of
the backrest as well as the swing away function of the control unit and
the choice of mounting the control unit either
to the left or the right side.
The Taiga can be supplied with two different control systems. In the
standard configuration, the Taiga is delivered with the VR-2 controller,
which offers you the option of adjusting up to two components
electronically. The R-Net controller permits electrical adjustment of the
leg rests and the seat and back angles, or when more than two electrical
options are needed. Thus, the Taiga can easily be customised to your
specific needs.
The electric wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Before using your new electric wheelchair for the first time, please read
and follow the instructions in this manual carefully. The instruction
manual is an integral and necessary part of the wheelchair. This is why
you should keep it close by and include it when passing on the wheelchair
to someone else. For visually impaired users, this document is available as
a PDF file at our website www.bischoff-bischoff.com.
Any repairs and adjustments require special technical training and may
therefore only be carried out by authorized Bischoff & Bischoff dealers.
