INTRODUCTION

We thank you for the conﬁ dence you

have placed in our company by choos-

ing a wheelchair from this series.

The model 1.150, fulﬁ ls the wish for

mobility and more independence by

way of a new styling of the proven

MEYRA technology.

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 requires explanation,

a little care and holds dangers when

used improperly. The correct handling

must therefore be learned.

This operating manual is intended for

use in conjunction with the booklet

safety instructions for < mechanical

wheelchairs > to help you to familiar-

ise yourself with the operation of the

wheelchair and to prevent accidents.

☞ Note:

This operating manual is valid for

model 1.150 with all equipment

versions and accessories. It will

therefore contain sections that do

not apply to your model.

Attention:

Read and observe the following

documentation belonging to the

children's wheelchair before ﬁ rst

operation:

– this operating manual,

– the safety information < Mechani-

cal wheelchairs >.

☞ Note:

Before ﬁ rst operation children,

together with their parents or a

supervisor or attendant, also have

to read and observe this operating

manual as do:

– the safety information < Mechani-

cal wheelchairs >.

ACCEPTANCE

All products are checked for faults

in the factory and packed in special

boxes.

☞ Note:

However, we request that you

check the vehicle for possible

transport damage immediately on

receipt – preferably in the presence

of the carrier.

☞ Note:

The packaging of the wheelchair

should be stored for a further

transport that might become nec-

essary.

ADJUSTMENT

Our specialist workshop supplies your

wheelchair ready for use and adjusted

to suit your special requirements.

☞ Note:

The tools required for adjustments

and maintenance is listed under

chapter < Technical Data >.

HANDLING THE WHEEL-

CHAIR

Speciﬁ cations

The FX-one wheelchair, model 1.150

was developed for adults and adoles-

cents. Three frames are available:

– short,

– medium,

– long.

The wheelchair solely serves to trans-

port one person in the seat and not as

a hauling aid, transporters or similar.

Use

Through its constructive advantages

the wheelchair can universally be

implemented on hard surfaces and

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 adapt-

abilities to individual vital statistics.

The wheelchair should be adapted

to your needs by a specialist dealer

before the ﬁ rst 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.

Auxiliary drives

Before attaching auxiliary drives the

following notes have to be consid-

ered:

Attention:

Attachment of auxiliary drives may

only be done on wheelchair mod-

els cleared for these.

– The list of wheelchair models cleared

for auxiliary drives can be acquired

at any authorised dealer.

OVERVIEW

The overview shows the most important components of the wheelchair.

➀ Stabiliser brace – back support

➁ Arm support

➂ Handrims

➃ Drive wheel

➀ Backrest

➁ Arm support

➂ Seat belt/seat cushion

➃ Butterﬂ y-brake

➄ Footplate

➅ Steering wheel

➆ Push handle

DRIVING

Alignment of the driving behaviour

and the personal abilities is to be car-

ried out together with your specialist

dealer or therapist and is achieved af-

ter a short acquaintance period, test

drive.

Attention:

Drive with extreme caution during

these ﬁ rst trips!

• Observe the section < driving train-

ing > in the safety instructions <

Mechanical wheelchairs >!

Safety information

Attention:

Please follow all instructions in the

safety information < Mechanical

wheelchairs >.

• A directly opposed change of direc-

tion from backward motion with-

out steering into a forward motion

with simultaneously inward swivel-

ling steering wheels has the effect

of a full stop.

• Applying a safety belt prevents

falling out toward the front.

Supplementary user/safety

information

• Clean, passive lighting is required

for driving in public trafﬁ c.

• Do not throw or drop parts belong-

ing to the wheelchair! – Detach-

able parts like e.g. side elements

and drive wheels have to be used

properly To guarantee their func-

tion.

• Removable parts, e.g. side ele-

ments and drive wheels must be

checked for correct locking before

starting to drive. Drive wheels with

defective linchpin (quick-ﬁ t) axles

can detach from the wheelchair

during the drive.

• By adding on or removing acces-

sories/components the dimensions

and weight of the wheelchair

change which can affect the driv-

ing behaviour.

• Never leave children/adolescents in

wheelchairs unsupervised.

• Always approach small obstacles,

e.g. steps or curbs, slowly and at a

right angle (90°) until the steering

wheels almost touch the obstacle.

Brieﬂ y stop the wheelchair and

then drive over the obstacle.

• Keep well clear of rail grooves, rails

and gully covers or similar sources

of danger. If not possible, cross such

obstacles at a right-angle (90°).

• Maintain a sufﬁ cient safety dis-

tance between the wheelchair and

drops, steps and obstacles. This

distance must allow enough time

to react and enough distance to

brake/turn.

• Always reduce the speed before a

curve. A sharper curve requires a

lower speed. Never lean outwards

in a curve.

• Tyres are made of a rubber mix-

ture and can leave permanent or

difﬁ cult-to-remove marks on some

surfaces (e.g. plastic, wooden or

parquet ﬂ ooring, carpets, mats).

• To prevent damages due to cor-

rosion do not use ore store the

wheelchair in damp rooms.

Recommendation for driving in

twilight or darkness

• Avoid as far as possible driving on

roads or bicycle paths during dark-

ness. Wear light-coloured clothing

that can be seen at a distance.

BRAKE

By locking the brakes the wheelchair

is to secured against unintentional

rolling off (parking brake).

The locking brake belongs to the most

important safety features of a wheel-

chair and is available as a pressure

brake (1) or butterﬂ y/brake (2).

Attention:

Please observe the maintenance

instructions as well as instructions

in the section < General safety in-

structions > and < Brakes > in the

safety instructions < Mechanical

wheelchairs >.

• The wheelchair loaded with the

user may not let itself be pushed in

with the brakes engaged.

• In order to prevent an unintention-

al curve while braking the wheel-

chair on slopes, both brakes are to

be activated simultaneously.

– Depending on the inclination of

the road a sideward tilting has to

be reckoned with.

• Do not support the body on the

lateral brake levers.

• The brake performance reduces

with

– tyre proﬁ le is worn

– tyre pressure is too low

– tyres are wet.

Attention:

Arrange an immediate repair of

the brakes by your specialist work-

shop if the braking performance

reduces.

• Do not park wheelchairs with PU

tyres with activated pressure or

butterﬂ y-brakes. – Deformations in

the running surface may remain.

• If possible propel the wheelchair

over the handrims. – Perhaps dan-

ger of jamming in the area of the

brake!

Pressure Brake

A metered braking from driving

speed (operating brake) is possible

with the brake levers (1) of the pres-

sure brakes.

Service brake
