INTRODUCTION
We thank you for the confidence you
have placed in our company by choos-
ing a wheelchair from this series.
The model of your selection, fulfils
the wish for mobility and more inde-
pendence by way of a new styling of
the proven MEYRA-Ortopedia tech-
nology.
With all equipment and their accesso-
ries the wheelchair offers die respec-
tive adaptation to your disability.
Like any other vehicle, a wheelchair is
a technical aid. It is subject to expla-
nations, requires regular care and can
cause danger when used improperly.
The correct handling must therefore
be learned. This operating manual
is to help you get accustomed to the
handling of the wheelchair as well as
to prevent accidents.
☞Note:
Please note that the illustrated
equipment variants can deviate
from your model.
We have therefore also listed chapters
with options that might not be appli-
cable for your individual wheelchair.
!Attention:
Read and observe the following
documentation belonging to the
wheelchair before first operation:
– this operating manual,
– Safety and general handling in-
structions < Mechanical and mus-
cle powered wheelchairs >.
☞Note:
Children and juveniles should read
the documentation belonging to
the wheelchair together with their
parents respectively a supervisor or
an accompanying person before
first use.
For users with visual impairments the
PDF-files of the above mentioned doc-
uments can be accessed on our web-
site < www.meyra-ortopedia.com >.
☞Contact your specialist dealer when
required.
Alternatively people with visual im-
pairments can have the documenta-
tion read out by a helper.

USE
Through its constructive advantages
the wheelchair can universally be im-
plemented on level, firm surfaces and
is therefore an allround-wheelchair:
– for indoors (e.g. apartment, day
care),
– outdoors (e.g. in parks),
– as a companion on tours (e.g. in a
bus or train).
The wheelchair offers manifold ad-
justment possibilities to individual vi-
tal statistics.
The wheelchair should be adapted
to your needs by a specialist dealer
before the first use. The adaptation
will take into account the driving ex-
perience, the physical limits of the
user and the main place of use of the
wheelchair.
!Attention:
Always have adaptation and ad-
justment work carried out by a
specialist dealer.
SPECIFICATIONS
The wheelchair of the lightweight-
family, was developed for adults and
adolescents.
The wheelchair solely serves to trans-
port one person in the seat and not as
a hauling aid, transporter or similar.

ADJUSTMENT
The specialist workshop will hand out
the wheelchair to you under consid-
eration of all relevant safety instruc-
tions, ready for operation and adjust-
ed to your needs.

☞We recommend a regular control
if the wheelchair adjustment in or-
der to ensure a long-term optimal
provision even with changing ill-
ness/handicap patterns of the user.
Especially for children and juveniles

ist dealer!

about 4 years for this product, as far
as the product is applied for its des-
ignated purpose and all maintenance

The life span of your product depends
upon the frequency of use, the appli-
cation environment and care.
The implementation of spare parts
can prolong the life span of the prod-
uct. As a rule spare parts are available
up to 5 years after production is dis-
continued.
