1. Introduction
Dear user,
You have decided on a high-quality B+B 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, length of the lower leg, the angle of the seat and the recline
of the backrest as well as the swing away function 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 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.
Any repairs and adjustments require special technical training and may
therefore only be carried out by authorized B+B dealers
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.
2. Important Safety Instructions
2.1. General Safety Instructions
• In order to avoid tipping and dangerous situations, you should
practice safe handling of your new wheelchair on a flat and familiar
surface. In such a case, an assisting person is recommended.
• Prior to using the wheelchair, please check whether all parts
attached have been fastened properly.
• Never lift the wheelchair by parts that are not fixed firmly (the
armrests or legrests).
• Ensure that instantaneous/quick-release axles are positioned
correctly in the axle holders, as otherwise there is a danger of
injury.
• Please note that the danger of tipping is increased by shifts
in weight (e.g. strong upper body movements or overcoming
obstacles).
• 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 using on a downward incline, it must be noted that a danger
of tipping exists from 12% (7°). It is recommended to use tilt
protection.
• Avoid running against obstacles (steps, kerbs) without braking or
moving down steps.
• Avoid using on uneven, loose surfaces.
• An assisting person should be used if going over obstacles (steps
etc.). Use the tip assist (see overview of wheelchair) to tip the
wheelchair appropriately.
• When getting into or out of the wheelchair, apply both locking
brakes.
• Ensure a sufficient profile depth of your tyres.
• Observe the road traffic regulations when on the road.
• The passive lighting (reflectors) of your wheelchair must always be
visible to other road users.

TERRA/TERRA SX | Electric Wheelchair Electric Wheelchair | TERRA/TERRA SX
• The locking brake must not be used for braking when the
wheelchair is moving.
• 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 use outdoors. These
increase grip and protect fingers and hands from dirt and injury at
the same time.
• Please note that padded parts can become hot in direct sunlight
and lead to skin injury on contact. Therefore, cover these parts or
protect the wheelchair from direct sunlight.
• When transferring between wheelchair and bed, always ensure that:
• both locking brakes are applied
• the side part on the side for getting in/out is swung backwards.
• the foot plates (for getting in/out) are folded upwards, swing
inwards/outwards or are removed.
Please note that operating the wheelchair in push mode
by uncoupling the drive mechanism will deactivate
the electro-magnetic brakes. The wheelchair should
therefore only be used on level ground in this mode.
Non-observance may lead to life-threatening situations.
2.2. Advice Regarding EMC
Interference
Despite meeting all applicable EMC guidelines and standards it is
possible that the wheelchair will experience interference from other
electrical devices (e. g. cell phones) or interfere with these. Should you
notice such interference, either turn off the other device or your electric
wheelchair and move it outside the interference range.
2.3. Brakes
After letting go of the joy-stick, the automatic brakes will slow the
wheelchair until it comes to a complete stop. In push mode, the drive
mechanism is decoupled and there is no handbrake. To secure the chair
you have to engage the drive again.
2.4. 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.
2.5. Purpose
The Terra/Terra SX electric wheelchair is designed for indoor and
outdoor use by persons with impaired mobility.
It is therefore sufficiently compact and agile for indoor use and also
capable of handling medium distances and overcoming small obstacles
outdoors. It is classified under category B according to the EN 12184
standard. The maximum weight capacity is 136 kg.
Please note:
We are only able to issue a guarantee if the product is used in
accordance with the specified conditions and for the specified purpose.
2.6. Indications for Use
Inability or severely impaired ability to walk due to:
• paralysis
• loss of limb
• defect/deformity of limb
• joint contracture
• joint damage (not in both arms)
• other diseases
The provision of an electric wheelchair is indicated if the use of a handdriven wheelchair is no longer possible but the proper operation of an
electric drive is possible.

6. Maintenance tips for the user
6.1. Cleaning and Disinfection
Make sure the wheelchair is turned off before starting to clean.
• 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!)
• You can remove dust and small stains from your seat, backrest and
armrests with a moist cloth. Do not use any aggressive cleaning
agents, since they could disintegrate the surface of the fabric. The
upholstery can be washed in 40°C water and disinfected with a
commercially available disinfectant.
• Make sure that the electric and electronic components do not come
into contact with water unnecessarily!
Caution! Do not use high pressure cleaners or steam
cleaners.

6.2. Check before use
6.2.1. Brake check
Every time you use the wheelchair check the brake system. Move
forward slowly and release the joystick. The wheelchair must come to
a stop in the normal manner. When it is at a standstill the mechanical
brake must lock with an audible click. If you detect unusual brake
behaviour, inform your qualified medical supply dealer immediately
and do not use the wheelchair.
The motor brake operates correctly if you cannot push the wheelchair
when it is switched off. However, if it can be moved, the electromagnetic
brake is faulty. Do not use the wheelchair if this is the case. Contact
your qualified medical supply dealer immediately.
6.2.2. Checking lights, indicators
and horn
Before moving off in the wheelchair always check the operation of the
lighting system, the indicators and horn. If you press the button and
there is no response from the equipment, inform your qualified medical
supply dealer immediately and do not use the wheelchair.
6.2.3. Checking the tyres
Prior to each use, please check the sound condition of the tyres.
Regularly check the profile depth of the tyres once a month. The profile
depth should measure at least 1mm.
Defective or worn tyres must be replaced by your qualified mobility
dealer.
6.3. Batteries
The wheelchair is equipped with maintenance-free gel batteries whose
fluid level does not need to be checked.
If you do not use your wheelchair for an extended period, the batteries
should be charged every two months, otherwise they may be destroyed
by deep discharge.
Make a habit of checking the battery status display on the control
every time before using your wheelchair. If the battery status display
shows only the red LEDs, do not travel long distances and connect the
battery charger to the wheelchair as soon as possible.
We recommend charging the battery after every time the wheelchair
is used.
6.3.1. Charging
Charging for the first time
To charge the batteries to their maximum capacity proceed as follows:
• Discharge the factory-charged batteries until the LED display shows
two bars.
• Charge the batteries as described below (approx. 16 hours).
• Discharge the batteries again to two bars on the LED indicator.
Use only approved battery chargers to charge the
batteries (see Technical Data). Follow the instructions for use of the battery charger.
Before using the battery charger check that the mains connection is
230 V.

• Green : charging is complete (batteries charged)
• Once charging is complete, disconnect the mains plug and
disconnect the battery charger from the wheelchair.
6.3.2. Replacing batteries
When working on the batteries be very careful, do not use metal tools,
do not touch the battery terminals and follow the directions of the
battery manufacturer.
Caution! This work should only be done by a trained
technician. Danger of electrocution!
Use only batteries approved for this wheelchair (see technical data).
Make sure that the wheelchair is switched off before starting to replace
batteries.
• First remove the battery cover.
• Loosen the screws on the right and left. (Abb. 27).
• Now the belts that hold the battery can be released.
• Disconnect the battery cable. First the red terminal and then the
black terminal. Make sure you use insulated tools and do not
contact metal frame parts while disconnecting the cables.
• Lift the batteries carefully out by the handles.
• Install the new batteries in their correct position and connect the
terminals. Note the correct colour-coding (red and black).
• Push the battery compartment back into the original position,
mount the slide-in module and fasten the battery cover by means
of the Velcro strap.(fig. 28).
When the batteries have reached the end of their
life, i.e. they can no longer be adequately charged,
they must not be disposed of with household rubbish. Old batteries are returned to the dealer when
new batteries are purchased and correctly disposed
of.
7. Maintenance tips for retailers
We recommend having the wheelchair inspected by your qualified
mobility dealer at least once a year. If faults or defects at the wheelchair
are found, it must be returned to the dealer for repair immediately. The
dealer can receive the required information, documentation and circuit
diagrams for repair and service on request. A training program is also
available for dealers.
B+B customer service is available at +49 (0)700/60007070.
8. Disposal

9. Transfering the wheelchair
When the wheelchair is transferred to a new owner, please include all
the technical documentation with it for the new user.
The wheelchair must be inspected in accordance
with the service schedule and must be in good condition.
10. Maintenance
Our customer service can provide a service schedule for the wheelchair.
11. 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 (see fig. A)
• Wheelchair not suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle for
transporting disabled people (see fig. B)
The wheelchair has also been marked with symbols on the frame
which quickly show you and your transport service 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 (see fig. C)
• Fixation points on the restraint system (see 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 AMFBruns 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 (see 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. 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 on +49 (0)700/60007070.
