Meyra 1.835, Operating Manual

SPECIFICATIONS/ UTILISA-

TION

The wheelchair is designed for universal use
and therefore all-round wheelchair for indoor
use (e.g. at home or at the place of work), for
recreational outdoor activities on firm surfac-
es and as a travel companion.
The optimised crossbrace design offers you
both a small folded size and a rigid frame,
i.e. high stability.
It serves exclusively for the transportation of a
person on the seat and not as ladder or as a
means of pulling or transporting items, or sim-
ilar.

Caution:

Please observe the brochure “Safety Infor-
mation – Mechanical Wheelchairs” for
your own safety!

AUXILIARY DRIVES

Before attaching auxiliary drives the follow-
ing notes have to be considered:

!

Caution:

Attachment of auxiliary drives may only be
done on wheelchair models cleared for
these.
– The list of wheelchair models cleared for
auxiliary drives can be acquired at any
authorised dealer.

• The maximum driving speed of a wheel-

chair with attached auxiliary drive may not
exceed 12 km/h.

• Wheelchairs with an attached front mount-

ed pulling auxiliary drive may only be used
in connection with a wheelbase extension.

• For safety reasons we recommend the

proper wearing of a crash helmet as well
as sport gloves.

DRIVING

The first adjustment of the driving features of
your wheelchair to suit your personal needs
will be possible at once, following a brief “in-
troductory “ phase of driver training.

!

Caution:

Drive with extreme caution during these first
trips.

  Please follow all instructions in the section

“Driver Training” in the brochure “Safety
Information – Mechanical Wheelchairs”!

You will be confronted with new situations
during each trip  and will have to cope with
these, as is the case in all areas of life, e.g.
family, career, leisure pursuits. Utilise the fold-
ing wheelchair’s adaptability to the needs of
the user. This offers you outstanding driving
comfort and high operational safety.
This operating manual will give you all neces-
sary information.

!

Caution:

Please follow all instructions in the brochure
“Safety information – Mechanical wheel-
chairs”.

• Avoid sudden change to the opposite di-

rection, (e.g. change to forward drive after
driving backwards without any movement
of the steering wheel). – This can lead to
accidents due to full braking while steering
wheels are moving inwards!

• In order to raise the backward tilting stabil-

ity supporting wheels can be mounted later
on.

• When propelling the wheelchair over the

tyre there is a risk of injury in the area of
the pressure brake.
