2.1 Meaning of symbols
Caution!
Warning of possible danger of accident and injury. Warning of possible technical damage.
Information!
About use of the product.
Information!
For service-personnel.
Attention!
Read manual before use!
2.2 Common safety instructions
Read manual completely before use!
Familiarize yourself with handling and functions of the product before use and practice the
various functions.
You are responsible for the safety of your child. The safety of your child could be
affected if you do not follow the instructions of this manual. Nevertheless not all possible
circumstances and unpredictable situations can be covered by this manual. Reason, care
and circumspection are not features of the product, they are required of persons, who use
the product. The person, who is using the product and its accessories should understand
all instructions and should explain them to every person using the product and its
accessories.
If instructions are not clear and further explanations become necessary, or if you have
further questions please contact your HOGGI® dealer.
Strap your child at all times, when they are in the wheelchair.
HOGGI® points out, that any use beside the typical use can be dangerous. The pushchair
is not suitable for jogging, running, skating or similar activities. Swivelling front wheels tend
to wobble at higher speed, which can cause a sudden stop and tip over of the pushchair.
Use the pushchair only at regular walking speed.
Under no circumstances leave the handle bar while pushing and never push the chair
away.
The pushchair should only be used on solid level ground.
Use your pushchair as intended by the manufacturer. For instance, do not drive into
obstacles (including steps, curbs) without braking.
To clear obstacles such as steps and curbs, tilt the pushchair onto the rear wheels (pull it
backwards to go up; to descend, slowly lower it forward).
Do not go up or down stairs without the assistance of another person. If devices such
as ramps or elevators are available, please use them. If they are not available, then the
pushchair should be carried over the obstacle by two persons.
Do not stand on the footplate when getting into or out of the rehab-buggy.
4
Pay particular attention when on slopes and inclines to prevent:
- the child from falling out of the pushchair
- the pushchair from tipping over
- the pushchair from rolling away
Only lift the pushchair by parts that are solidly attached:
- front frame tube above the front wheels
- front axle
- push handle
If you have to park on a slope, face the pushchair uphill with the brakes engaged and
ensure that the seat is in the upright position. There is a risk that the pushchair might tip
over backwards if the seat is the reclined position.
Before leaving the pushchair and before getting into and out of it, always lock the wheel
locks.
When your child reaches for objects in front, to the side or behind the pushchair, be sure
that he/she does not lean out of the pushchair too far since the shift in the center of gravity
might cause the pushchair to tilt or tip over.
The handling of the pushchair is strongly influenced by tyre pressure. Correctly inflate tyres
considerably improve its maneuverability. The air pressure should be at least 2 bar
(200 kPa resp. 29 PSI).
Please be aware that with certain footrest settings the footrest can collide with the caster
wheels.
Please keep packaging material away from children. Plastic packaging presents the
danger of suffocation.
Never leave your child unattended in the pushchair even when they are strapped in and
the brakes engaged.
In the dark, the user should wear light clothing or clothing with reflectors in order
to improvevisibility. Ensure that the reflectors if installed are easily visible. We also
recommend installing active illumination.
Before using the pushchair, both folding guards and the seat must be firmly locked in
place.
Static stability is at 10,5° inclination.
Attaching heavy bags or other weight to the push handles can adversely affect stability.
Caution!
Regard specially during adjusting the recline, the tilt in space function and the footrest
hanger angle the danger of getting caught for the child by protruding arms or legs into
flexible parts of the BINGO Evolution.
5
Caution!
All upholsteries are hardly inflammable and meet the claim EN 1021 part 1 (cigarette test)
and part 2 (match test). But that doesn`t protect the user in the seat unit to suffer burnings
by careless handling with blaze or open fire.
Disposal of waste: The packaging material as far as metal, aluminium and plastic parts can
be recycled. The recycling must be operated according to the national and legal terms.
The maximum weight that can be carried in the accessories bags is 3 kg (model “soft”) or
rather 8 kg (model “large”).
Trays must not be loaded with objects heavier than 5 kg.
The pushchair is only intended to carry one child at a time.
The maximum load for the BINGO Evolution is 60 kg.
The maximum load for the BINGO Evolution seat unit is 50 kg (body weight including
other load).
Accessories and add-ons reduce the maximum load proportionately.
Attention!
We recommend that, wherever and whenever possible users transfer to the seats installed
in the motor vehicle and use the corresponding vehicle restraint systems, because this is
the only way to ensure optimum protection of the passengers in case of an accident.
Your BINGO Evolution Rehab Pushchair was successfully tested in accordance with
ANSI/RESNA WC/19 and ISO 7176/19 (Crash Test).
It is, however, possible to use your BINGO Evolution Rehab Pushchair as a seat in a
motor vehicle, if our “Tie down Kit” (article 3231-7300) as well as appropriate restraint
systems are used.
Your BINGO Evolution is admitted for use as a seat in a motor vehicle yet.
This Rehab Pushchair is equipped with back angle and seat tilt adjustment. Turn the toggle
lever on the backrest and let engage the backrest in the first position. Using the seat tilt
adjustment you must bring the backrest into almost upright position (max. 20°). Observe
the specifications under 4.9 and 4.17 in this user manual.
Be careful in case of extreme temperatures. The wheelchair can heat up significantly when
in the sun or in the sauna. In extreme cold, there is a risk of hypothermia.
Caution!
Excess strap ends on accessories may be trapped in the tilt mechanism and can avoid the
engagement of the locking pins. In such a case the seat could fall off the mobility base.
Shorten excess strap ends on accessories so that they can not be trapped.
Check by pulling the seat sharply forward that the seat unit is properly engaged. Check
that the locking pins are completely engaged. Push in completely, if necessary.
The assembly of a seat shell is only permitted within the specified seating area.
The manufacturer of that new product combination has to test the stability and the adhe-
rence of the maximum load before commissioning.
Whenever you change any settings on the BINGO Evolution, make sure that you
firmly tighten any screws that have been loosened.
