1. 1. Preliminary n te
Dear User
By purchasing your Bischoff & Bischoff Pyro start plus+
folding wheelchair, you are getting a top German product
that sets new standards in term of its flexibility.
The wheelchair was designed to offer you a lot of benefits
and to meet your needs. The many varied setting options
and the optimum adjustability in terms of seat height,
seat angle and lower leg length means the Pyro start
plus+ can be adjusted to your individual body size.
The Pyro start plus+ is intended both for indoor and out-
door use.
This operating manual is to help you become more famili-
ar with the operation and use of the wheelchair.

1.1 Important safety
instructions
In order to avoid toppling and dangerous situations, you
should practice handling your new wheelchair in a flat,
easily manageable area. We recommend that someone
accompanies you in this situation.
• The person accompanying you should be physically and
mentally capable of operating a wheelchair
• Before using the wheelchair, please check whether all
fitted parts are properly fixed.
• Never lift the wheelchair by parts that are not securely
fixed (armrests or legrests).
• Make sure that the quick-release axles are seated pro-
perly in the axle holders, otherwise there is a danger of
injury.
• Please note that the risk of tipping is increased by
shifts in weight (e.g. strong upper body movements or
negotiating obstacles).
• Steps and larger obstacles may only be negotiated with
the help of at least two accompanying people. Use lif-
ting points 1 and 2 for this (see overview of the
wheelchair). If equipment such as access ramps, lifts or
step climbing aids are available, these should be used.
•When using on a slope, it must be noted that there is a
risk of tipping as from 12% (7°). Use of anti-tip protec-
tion is recommended.
• The seat materials comply with the flammability resi-
stance requirements of N 1021-1 and N 1021-2.
Nevertheless, you should exercise the necessary caution
when smoking and you should not put the cigarette
down on the wheelchair.

• Avoid running into obstacles without braking (steps,
kerbs) or "jumping down" from one level to another.
• Avoid using on uneven, loose surfaces.
• Someone should be asked to accompany you when
negotiating obstacles (steps, etc.). Use the tip assist
(see overview of the wheelchair) to tip the wheelchair in
an appropriate way.
• When getting into or out of the wheelchair, apply both
locking brakes.
• Make sure your tyres have sufficient tread depth.
• Always follow the road traffic regulations when on the
road.
• The passive lighting (reflectors) on your wheelchair must
always be visible to other road users.
• The locking brake must not be used to brake when
moving.
• When braking from fast speeds or on long downward
slopes by using the push rims, fingers and palms get
hot. Caution, risk of burning!
• We recommend the use of leather gloves outdoors.
These increase grip as well as protecting your fingers
and palms from dirt and injury at the same time.
• Please note that upholstery parts which are exposed to
direct solar radiation heat up and can cause injury to
the skin on contact. You should therefore cover these
parts or protect the wheelchair from solar radiation..
• When transferring between wheelchair and bed, please
always ensure that:
- both locking brakes are applied
- the side part on the side for getting in / out is swung
back.

removed.
