1.1. Signs and symbols
Warning! These are especially safety-relevant
instructions. Follow the directions in the manual!
Important! This is especially useful information on
a given subject.
1. Preliminary Remark
Dear User,
With the purchase of your B+B XXL-wheelchair Econ XXL you have
received a German high quality product which sets standards through
its various adjustment features.
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. 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.
2. Important Safety Instructions
2.1. General Safety Instructions
• To avoid falls and dangerous situations, you should first practice
driving your new wheelchair on level, unobstructed ground. We
recommend having an assistant with you.
• Please note there is a risk of entrapment between moving parts
when adjusting, using and maintaining the wheelchair.
• The accompanying person should be physically and mentally
capable of operating a wheelchair.
• Never use the wheelchair under the influence of alcohol or other
drugs.
• Please make sure that all parts have been properly installed before
using the wheelchair.
• Never lift the wheelchair by parts that are not fixed firmly (the
armrests or legrests).
• Make sure that the screwing axle at the wheels are tightly in the
axle holder, otherwise there is risk of injuries.
• Please note that displacing the center of gravity by shifting the
body, or by adding loads may increase the risk of tipping over.
• Please have an assisting person for help when you have to get
over obstacles or steps. Use the tip assist (see overview of the
wheelchair) to tip the wheelchair appropriately.
• Steps and larger obstacles may only be crossed with the help of at
least two assisting persons. For this, use lifting points 1 and 2 (see
overview of the wheelchair). If equipment such as ramps, lifts or
step climbing aids are available, these should be used.
• When driving on an incline/slope, it is necessary to be aware that
a risk of tipping exists even at low angles, depending on the axle
position setting. Use of tip protection is recommended.
• Avoid using on uneven, loose surfaces.
• When getting into or out of the wheelchair, apply both parking
brakes.
• All road traffic regulations must be observed when driving on
public roads.

Econ XXL | XXL-wheelchair XXL-wheelchair | Econ XXL
• The passive lighting (reflectors) of your wheelchair must always be
visible to other road users.
• The wheelchair must only be used to transport one person. The
wheelchair must not be used to transport goods or more than one
person.
• You must not use the handbrake to stop the wheelchair.
• When braking at fast speeds or on long downward slopes when
using the push rims, fingers and hand surfaces become hot.
Caution! Danger of burning!
• We recommend that leather gloves are used for outdoor use. These
increase grip and protect fingers and hands from dirt and injury at
the same time.
• Please note that the seat and backrest upholstery will heat up if
directly exposed to sunlight and may cause injuries to your skin
when touched. You should therefore cover these parts or protect the
wheelchair from exposure to direct sunlight.
• Also note that the frame and upholstery parts may cool down
significantly in winter. If possible, do not park the wheelchair
outdoors in cold weather.
• The dimensions of the wheelchair exceed the recommended values
of DIN EN 12183:2014/A.1 and PRM TSI Annex M in terms of size
and manoeuvring range.
• When transferring between wheelchair and bed, always ensure:
• both parking brakes are locked.
• the side parts for getting in/out are swung backwards.
• the foot plates (for getting in/out) are folded upwards, swing
inwards/outwards or are removed.
2.2. Anti-tip wheels (optional)
The anti-tip wheels prevent the wheelchair from tipping backwards.
Please note, driving with anti-tip wheels on uneven ground, lift
platforms and ramps is only possible to a limited extent. Ensure
sufficient clearance above, below and on the sides.
2.3. Use on Public Roads
The wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use. Please 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 walkways.
2.4. Purpose
The wheelchair is designed solely to increase mobility and to transport
people with impaired mobility in accordance with indications listed.
Unless otherwise indicated, the instructions in this operating manual
are intended for the occupant as the operator.

4.3. Side parts
Swinging the side parts
To make it easier to get on and off the wheelchair, both side parts with
the armrests can be swung backwards. Use the lock device lever (fig.
17), press it gently with your finger and at the same time swing the
side part backwardly (fig. 18).
Locking the side parts
To lock the side part, fold it forward and let it snap into the lock device
with a gentle push (fig. 19).
Remove side part
Loosen the rear fastening of the side part by turning the ring through
180° (fig. 20). The grip is now facing inwards. Now push the locking
lever at the front in order to be able to remove the side part by pulling
upwards.
In order to fix the side part again, first insert it into the mount. The
grip on the ring must be facing inwards to do this. Then, turn the ring
through 180°, so that the grip is facing backwards. Now swing the side
part forwards until you hear it click into place.
4.3.1. Height adjustable
side parts (optional)
It is possible to equip your Econ XXL wheelchair with height adjustable
side parts. The height-adjustable side parts can be fitted, removed and
swivelled in the same way as the standard side parts.

Height adjustment:
• Press the pushbutton (fig. 21) in order to move the armrest into the
required position.
• When you have reached the required position, release the
pushbutton. The locking device then clicks into place.
• The height has then been correctly selected, if the upper arm and
forearm are more or less at right angles when the forearm is laid on
it.
4.4. Brakes
Using the parking brake
To use the brake just push the brake lever forward until it snaps (fig.
22). To loosen the brake, pull the lever backwards (fig. 23).
Adjustment of the parking brake
If you should notice any unusual braking behaviour you have to do the
following:
• First check the tyres for adequate air pressure. There should be a
pressure of 300- 400 k Pa (3-4 bars) (does not apply to tyres which
are puncture proof tires).
• Check the tread depth. Pay attention whether ther is even abrasion.
If the tread depth is > than 1 mm, the tyres must be replaced by a
qualified mobility dealer.
• Now check the adjustments of the brake. It must be adjusted in the
way that there is a distance between the running surface of the
wheel and the pivot bolt of 12 mm when brakes are open. The pivot
bolt must be horizontal e.g. parallel to the ground.
• After loosening the Allen screw with a hexagon socket (5 mm) on
the brake mount (fig. 24), you can position the brake correctly.
21
23
22
• The parking brakes effect only one driving wheel at a time.
• Pay attention to have the same air pressure on both driving wheels
to achieve a directional stability.
• Once the adjustment process is completed, firmly tighten the
loosened screw up again and carry out a brake test!
• The brake system should be adjusted only by a qualified mobility
dealer.
In general !
Since the drum brake is the most important safety device on your
wheelchair we recommend the use of a drum brake when an assisting
person is frequently pushing the wheelchair, the drum brake is
optionally available. Besides the drum brake allows deceleration.
At a drum brake the braking shoe does not effect the tire, but brakes
in the wheel hub, this braking system is largely independent of the tyre
condition (air pressure).
4.4.1. Drum brakes
Using the drum brakes by an accompanying person
The drum brake is operated by pulling both brake levers simultaneously
(Fig. 24a). Remember that both sides must be pulled at the same time
to prevent the wheelchair from skewing sideways.
If you want to park the wheelchair, operate the brakes until the
wheelchair comes to a standstill. Then lock the knee lever parking
brake (Fig. 22) to prevent the wheelchair from rolling away.

Econ XXL | XXL-wheelchair XXL-wheelchair | Econ XXL
Adjustment of the drum brakes
The basic adjustment of the drum brake is carried out on the rope
clamping screw. The final adjustments are carried out with an adjusting
nut on the brake cable. If the adjusting nut is turned up, the braking
efficiency is increased.
• The drum brakes affect only one of the drive wheels at a time!
• Make sure that the drive wheels have the same air pressure to
achieve directional stability.
• Drum brakes get worn out as well. If the braking performance is
reduced, the wheelchair must be withdrawn from circulation. To
avoid this because of safety reasons your braking device should be
checked by a qualified mobility dealer every six months!
• After the adjustment are made, please tighten all the screws and
perform a brake test !
In general !
The adjustment of the brake system should be done only by a qualified
mobility dealer!
4.5. Seat height
There are 5 positions for tailoring the seat height to the user‘s
requirements. Driving wheel and steering wheel must be in the same
position in each case.
Driving wheel
• First remove the rear wheels to facilitate the adjustments.
• Loosen the screws on the adapter (Allen key, SW 4 and ring spanner
SW 10), (fig. 25), and pull them out completely.
• Reinsert the screws into the adapter and tighten them up again.
• The locking brakes must then be readjusted!
Steering wheel
• Loosen the axle (Allen key, SW 4) , (fig. 26), and take it out
completely.
• Place the steering wheel in the right position for the required seat
height.
• Reinsert the axle into the steering fork and firmly tighten it up
again.
Adjustments of the seat height can affect the
stability of your wheelchair; a lower seat height has
a positive impact on stability.

The spoked wheels are tightened with a power socket wrench (M15) on
the chassis suspension. (fig. 27).
Drive wheels
Your „Econ XXL“ has puncture-proof PU tyres with tubes size 24x1,75“
as standard equipment. The tyres must be replaced by your authorised
dealer when they are worn or faulty.
Steering Wheels
Your Econ XXL has puncture proof PU steering wheels without a valve
7“ in diameter (fig. 28). Faulty or worn out wheels must be changed by
an qualified mobility dealer.
5. Asseccories
5.1. Anti-tipping wheels
Always use the anti-tipping wheels in pairs.
To assemble the anti-tipping wheels (fig. 29) proceed as follows:
• First detach the rubber profiles of the tilt aid from the frame.
• Push the round profile of the anti-tipping wheels on the side frame
pipe.
• Now bolt the tilt protection with a screw M 6 x 35 and a self-
locking nut M6 in the designated drilling on the frame.
29
5.2. Therapy table
If the side parts are mounted in the long position then the table is
attached on the provided guides in front of the armrest. If you want to
remove the therapy table just pull it out.
At “Desk” side parts with padded armrest the table is put on with
accompanying guides and is fastened with star knob screws. To remove
the therapy table first unfasten the star screws and then pull out the
table.
5.3. Safety belt
If required, a safety belt is available as an accessory. This is fitted onto
the side frame of the wheelchair with the side part either temporarily
removed or swung away. Take the open end of the belt once around
the side frame tube and then fix it with the belt buckle.
You also use the belt buckle to adjust the length of the belt. Adjust
the belt length so that the belt is tight, but does not apply pressure.

6. Use
6.1. Getting in and out from the side
• Move the wheelchair as close as possible parallel to the other seat.
• Should you want to transfer from or to another wheelchair or
rehabilitation stroller, secure this one first by activating the parking
brake.
• Secure the Econ XXL against rolling away accidentally by activating
the parking brake.
• Pivot the armrest backwards and away, or remove the side part with
the armrest.
• Fold the foot plates/footrest to the side or remove the leg rests.
• Now slide sideways onto the other seat.
• Make sure that you are sitting as far back in the seat as possible.
• Finally, return the leg rests to their original position and reinsert the
side parts if necessary.
6.2. Getting in and out from the
front
• At first fold up the footrests or take off the leg rests.
• Move the Econ XXL and the current or intended seat together front
to front if possible and decelerate the Econ XXL
• Should you want to transfer from or to another wheelchair or
rehabilitation stroller, secure this one first by activating the parking
brake.
• Now slide sideways onto the other seat.
• Then hook the leg rests back in their initial position and pivot the
foot plates downwards.
6.3. Climbing stairs and high steps
• Helpers must only take hold of securely fitted parts of the frame.
The lifting points are shown in figures 30 and 31.
• When going up stairs, the helper behind the wheelchair pulls
the wheelchair over the step, holding it by the securely mounted
handles.
• The helper who is below takes hold of the front frame tubes and
stabilises the position. At the same time, he pushes the rear wheels
of the wheelchair against the steps.
Never climb on the footrests!
Risk of tipping!
For obstacles and stairs with more than three steps,
two accompanying people must help.

Econ XXL | XXL-wheelchair XXL-wheelchair | Econ XXL
To overcome obstacles easier, the accompanying person shall bring the
wheelchair in the right angle to the obstacle, by pushing the foot on
the tipping aid (fig. 33).
The static stability of the basic model is 5° (ca. 8 %).
The critical obstacle height at the basic model in unfavourable
situations is 23 mm (maximum centre of gravity shift)
The critical obstacle height is the height in which the centre of gravity
(with the user) is right vertical over the obstacle rim. If the user tries to
put the wheelchair with the help of the driving wheels on the obstacle
without having shifted the centre of gravity forwardly, the wheelchair
will tip over backwardly.
According to the Road Traffic Act 66/1 of 1st January 1981, hand
driven wheelchairs which take part in public road traffic (even on
pavements) must have lighting.
Econ XXL is equipped with reflectors (passive lighting)
• 2 red reflectors at the back
• 2 yellow reflectors at both sides
If you use the wheelchair after nightfall you need additional lights
(active)
• a white light at the front
• a red light at the back
The functioning of these lights must be assured through a driving
independent electrical circuit (batteries).
• When going down stairs, the helper who is below brakes by pushing
the wheelchair right against the steps. The helper above holds the
wheelchair at the push handles, secures it and holds it in the right
position. The wheelchair should roll down step by step.
6.4. Driving
Position yourself in the seat of your B+B wheelchair. Ensure that you
are sitting as far back in the seat as possible.
Moving and braking are achieved via the push rims on the drive wheels.
Be careful when taking your first rides until you get familiar with your
new wheelchair and its driving ability.
Wheelchairs have just limited tipping or slipping security. You have to
be extra careful when braking, approaching or turning round on slopes
or downward slopes. If you lean forward too much this will increase the
danger of tipping, too. To make your wheelchair safer, all wheelchairs
can be equipped with a seat belt (not standard equipment).
You can hang shopping bags or a backpack on the backrest frame.
The frame and the push handles are the only
places where you can get hold of the wheelchair
to transport it. Never lift up the wheelchair at the
armrests!
Before you get on or off your wheelchair you have
have to lock the parking brake. You should drive
outside your flat only if you have enough driving
experience. If possible another person should
accompany you.
33
Please note that the risk of tipping over backwards
is significantly increased by hanging bags and
backpack on the backrest.
An accompanying person must only push the
wheelchair by the push handles (Fig. 32), never by
the push bar. There is a risk of injury.

8. Maintenance tips for users
8.1. Cleaning and disinfection
• The frame and the paneling of the wheelchair can be cleaned with
a moist cloth. You can use a mild detergent for more stubborn dirt
• The wheels can be cleaned with a wet synthetic fiber brush (do not
use a wire brush!)
• Push handles, arm pads, and seat and back pads can be washed
off. Use mild detergent.
• Use a disinfectant listed by VAH for disinfection.
Observe our included overview of the most important care, hygiene and
maintenance work.
8.2. Check before use
8.2.1. Brake check
Make sure your brakes are operating properly before each use.
It should not be possible to push the wheelchair away while the
brakes are activated.
The wheelchair should be easy to drive without grinding noises and
with good direction stability when the brakes are released.
If you notice unusual behaviour when braking, inform your mobility
dealer immediately and do not use the wheelchair.

condition.
9. Maintenance tips for retailers
We recommend to have the entire wheelchair inspected by an authorized
dealer at least once a year.
Should the wheelchair be faulty or defective, it should be brought to an
authorized dealer for repair without delay.
Repair and replacement of parts are carried out by an authorized
mobility dealer.
All information, documents and schematics necessary for repair are
made available to the authorized dealer on request. There is also a
training program for authorized dealers.
Should you have any questions, please contact the B+B customer service
at +49 700 - 6000 7070.
The wheelchair shall be inspected in accordance to
the service schedule and must be in good condition.
10. Storage/dispatch
If the wheelchair is going to be stored or transported, all removable
and not tightened parts, except of the drive wheels, have to be removed
and packed in separate cartons. The separately packed parts can be
packed together in a larger carton.
It is recommendable to keep the original packaging for this purpose, so
that it is available in case you need it. In that way your wheelchair is
protected against environmental influences during storage or transport.
11. Use by others
The Econ XXL is appropriate for use by others. For use by others, the
wheelchair must first be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected according
to the accompanying care and hygiene instructions.
The product shall get checked by an authorised mobility dealer for
general condition, wear and shall get repaired if necessary.
12. Disposal
If your wheelchair is no longer needed and you want to dispose of it,
please contact your authorized dealer.
If you want to dispose your wheelchair yourself,
please ask your local disposal company for the
applicable disposal regulations in your town or city.

13. Transport
You can determine whether or not your wheelchair is approved for use
as a seat in a vehicle for transporting disabled people by referring to
the symbols on the CE sticker on the product:
Wheelchair suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle for
transporting disabled people (fig. A)
Wheelchair not suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle for
transporting disabled people (fig. B)
The wheelchair has also been marked with symbols on the frame which
quickly show you and your transport service provider if it is suitable for
transport in wheelchair accessible vehicles and where the fastening
points are located:
Wheelchair not suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle for
transporting disabled people (fig. C)
Fixation points on the restraint system (fig. D)
All products approved by B+B for use as seats in vehicles are tested
in accordance with ISO 7176-19. The tests in accordance with ISO
7176-19 were performed using restraint systems from AMF-Bruns. The
correct mounting of the restraint system is a prerequisite for the safe
transportation of the products in a vehicle for transporting disabled
people and the basis for the approval.
The restraint systems from AMF-Bruns provide the ideal points for the
provision of restraint force for the purpose of securing the products in
the vehicle for transporting disabled people (known by the German
term „Kraftknoten“, which is defined in the standard DIN 75078-2).
For the purpose of providing restraint in the vehicle for transporting
disabled people (fig. D), the products must only be secured at these
specific points („Kraftknoten“ points). If possible, use a permanently
installed car seat and its belt system. Stow the wheelchair in the
luggage space. The person responsible for the transportation should be
familiar with the current regulations for transportation as well as with
the method of operating the vehicle for transporting disabled people
and the restraint system.

C
Anchored 4-point restraint systems must be used to secure the
wheelchair in the vehicle.If you have any queries about securing your
product in a vehicle for transporting disabled people, please contact
the B+B customer service department on +49 (0)700/60007070.
14. Warranty
Guarantee items refer to all defects of the wheelchair which can
demonstrably be referred to material defect or manufacturing defect.
If there are complaints you have to provide a completed certificate of
guarantee.
We provide the statutory warranty of 2 years for our
products. For batteries, replacement devices and repairs, a
warranty period of 1 year applies.
Please also observe the B+B care, warranty, hygiene and maintenance
instructions. Your qualified mobility dealer will be happy to provide
these to you.
Non-observance of the operating instructions as well
as improper use, maintenance jobs and technical
changes or adaptions without the permission of the
Bischoff & Bischoff company, lead to guarantee loss
and the loss of product liability in general.
