1. Preliminary remark
Dear User
You have chosen a high-quality wheelchair from Bischoff & Bischoff.
Thank you for your trust in our product.
The wheelchair was designed to offer you a lot of benefits and to meet
your needs. The Protego wheelchair allows you to adjust the chair‘s
settings to your individual body size and shape thanks to the variety
of adjustment options and optimum adjustability of the seat depth,
backrest height, knee angle, seat width, backrest angle, seat angle
and the length of lower leg. Protego is intended both for indoor and
outdoor use.
The wheelchair is offered in two models, Protego and Protego SL. The
Protego SL permits improved adaptability for persons of large body
height due to its greater seat height, seat depth, and backrest heigh.
These operating instructions intend to help you to familiarise yourself
better with the operating and the handling of your wheelchair. Before
using your new 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.
