INTRODUCTION

With the PROFI 3 model 2.871 and

model 2.875-S from MEYRA, you own

a highly sophisticated sport wheelchair

which can be adapted to your personal

needs.

The technical innovations which our engi-

neers have incorporated in co-operation

with athletes who have practical experi-

ence make this wheelchair an ideal

partner for demanding wheelchair ath-

letes.

This operating manual will give you all

the information your require – clearly

written and with illustrations.

This operating manual is applicable for

the PROFI 3 model 2.871 and the

model 2.875-S with all equipment var-

iants and their accessories. It will there-

fore contain chapters that do not apply

to your model.

Be sure to read and under-

stand this operating manual

and the brochure “Safety infor-

mation - Mechanical wheel-

chairs” before your first drive.

Pictures and graphic illustra-

tions are contained in the ap-

pended illustration part.

Note!

The components shown in the figures

are not always identical with your

wheelchair model. The position and

the use of the parts to be operated

can be transferred to your model. Al-

ways check that components are fixed

correctly after assembly as well as

after any adjustment or modification.

ASSEMBLY

Your PROFI 3 will have been assem-

bled and adapted to your personal

needs when it is handed over to you by

the specialist workshop.

Assembly

After transportation, carry out the fol-

lowing before use of the wheelchair:

disassembled for transportation.

Attaching the drive wheels

(Fig.1)

– Press in the stop button (10) in the

centre of the wheel hub.

– Attaching drive wheel. – Push on the

drive wheel until the end stop of the

axle mount is reached.

Note!

The stop bolt must protrude a few mil-

limeters from the wheel nut after let-

ting go. The drive wheel is then se-

cured in position.

Unfolding the backrest

(Fig.2)

– Swivel the backrest upwards until the

locking bolts click audibly in place.

– Check the locking mechanism.

Fitting the clothing guards or

unfolding of armrests

(Fig.2+3)

seat cushion from slipping.

SPECIFICATIONS/ UTILI-

ZATION

Due to the numerous infinitely-variable

adjustment possibilities of the PROFI 3,

this wheelchair also offers persons with

a higher level of disability the necessary

safety during sport usage.

As a special development for athletics

and normal sport, the PROFI 3 is a reli-

able maneuverable partner that will of-

fer you all its advantages and thus much

pleasure in use, even during its normal

use as an active wheelchair.

It serves exclusively for the transporta-

tion of a person on the seat and not as

ladder or as a means of pulling or trans-

porting items, or similar.

Note:

Parking brakes are not permitted for

some types of indoor sports.

The pressure brakes are therefore re-

movable for a quick change from ac-

tive wheelchair to sport wheelchair.

The PROFI 3 is designed for firm and

level surfaces. For your own safety, do

not drive onto soft, uneven surfaces.

DRIVING BEHAVIOR

Allow your wheelchair to be adapted to

your own personal needs, only then will

your PROFI 3 offer you an optimum driv-

ing behaviour.

removable pressure brake, code 305

(Fig.6). It works directly on the tyres.

Benefits:

– controlled braking of the driving

speed (service brake)

– securing the wheelchair against acci-

dental rolling (parking brake).

Note:

The wheel cambering must be indicat-

ed when subsequently ordering a

pressure brake.

Please observe the

Maintenance In-

structions

as well as instructions in the

chapter “

General Safety Information”

and “Brakes

” in the brochure

“Safety

information – Mechanical wheel-

slightly forward for a controlled and di-

rection-stable braking of the wheelchair

(service brakes).

Parking brakes

You lock the brakes (parking brakes) by

pressing the brake levers forward until

the end stop is reached. – The wheel-

chair can then not be pushed.

Benefits:

– Controlled braking of the driving

speed (service brake).

– Secures the wheelchair against acci-

dental rolling.

– Adaptation to the sport rule (no

brakes) by way of removable

brakes, code 305.

Locking the pressure brakes

Push both brake levers (11) forward as

far as they will go (Fig. 7).

Note!

If only one brake is applied when the

It should not be possible to push the

wheelchair forward when both

brakes are locked.

The brake performance decreases

when the:

– tyre profile is worn

– tyre pressure is too low

– tyres are wet

– pressure brake is loose

– brake mechanism is defective.

Note:

You will find the values for the correct

air pressure for the wheelchair in the

Technical Specifications.

Defective pressure brakes

must be replaced!

SERVICE

Maintenance

Like any other technical product, your

Profi 3

also needs to be maintained.

The following maintenance instructions

describe, in table form, the work that

needs to be carried out so that you will

be able to fully enjoy the advantages of

your wheelchair (quiet running, low roll-

ing resistance) even after a long period

of use.

Care

Seat and backrest cover:

Clean the covers with warm water. In

the case of stubborn soiling, the fabric

can be washed with a standard washing

powder for delicate fabrics. Spots can

be removed with a sponge or a soft

brush.

Note:

Do not use aggressive cleaning agents

e.g. solvents, or hard brushes etc.

Rinse with clear water and let get dry.

Plastic parts:

The foot plates, or similar, consist of

high-quality plastic parts. Take care of

these by means of standard plastics

cleaning agents. Always observe the

specific product information.

Finish:

The high quality finish ensures an opti-

mum of protection against corrosion. If

the surface finish is damaged by scratch-

es or similar, touch it up with a varnish

pen available from us. Occasional ap-

plication of a light cover of oil to all

moving parts (see also Maintenance In-

structions) will ensure that your wheel-

chair will give you many years of serv-

ice.

Spare parts

Only use ORIGINAL MEYRA

spareparts.

The wheel camber must be indicated

when ordering a pressure brake.

Repairs

If any repairs are required, please con-

tact your specialist workshop. Personnel

there are well trained to carry out the

work required.

Customer Service

Should you have any enquiries or need

any assistance, please contact your lo-

cal MEYRA specialized dealer, who has

been trained in our factory in accord-

ance with our guidelines and who can

offer advice, customer service and re-

pairs. We have a dealer network of

approx. 1.500 dealers in germany. In

this way all wishes can be fulfilled.

MAINTENANCE IN-

STRUCTIONS

Before starting out

1. Test brakes for faultless op-

eration

Move the brake release lever (11) to

drive mode. It should now be impossi-

ble to push the wheelchair. If this is not

the case, have the magnetic brakes re-

paired by an authorized specialist work-

shop.

Remark:

Carry out test yourself or with a helper.

If you notice any increasing slackness on

the brake lever take the wheelchair to

your authorized specialist workshop im-

mediately for repairs. – Danger of acci-

dents!

3. Check tyre pressures.

Full tyre pressure – drive wheel

Standard pneumatic tyres = 2.5 bar

Ultra smooth running tyres = 6 bar

High-pressure tyres = 8 bar

Indoor sport = 11 bar

Remark:

Do it yourself or with the aid of a helper

Use a tyre gauge or, if you do not have

one, use the "thumb pressure method"

(see safety instructions in the section enti-

tled "Tyres".

4. Check tyre profiles, axle

tube, frame tubes for cracks or

other damage

– Minimum tread = 1 mm

– Do not repair or continue to use de-

fective tubes. – Danger of accidents!

Remark:

Carry out visual check yourself.

Use an authorised specialist workshop

for renewal//repair in the event of

worn tyre profile, or damage to the

tyre, axle tube or frame tube.

Every 8 weeks

(depending on frequency of use)

Check all screw connections for

secure fit

– Carry out test yourself or with a help-

er.

Lubricate the following compo-

nents with a few drops of oil

Do it yourself or with the aid of a helper

Components must be free from used oil

residues before lubrication. Please en-

sure that excess oil does not contami-

nate the environment (e.g. your clothing)

LOADING INTO THE

TRANSPORT VEHICLE

Attention:

For the transport in vehicles, you must

leave the PROFI 3 and occupy a suita-

ble seat in the vehicle. It is forbidden

to remain seated in the PROFI 3 dur-

ing vehicle transportation. – Accidents

produce forces which the PROFI 3 is

not designed to handle and therefore

seriously endanger you as occupant.

Before transporting the wheelchair,

ask your car dealer how to secure it

without risk to the existing fixtures or

other safety fittings!

Suitable fixing points can usually be

found in the car and in the vehicle

operating manual.

Assuming that the PROFI 3 is located in

the transport vehicle, you or a helper

should carry out the following:

– Operate parking brakes.

– Stow any parts removed from the

PROFI 3 safely and protectively.

– Remove bags, walking sticks and oth-

er items not belonging to the wheel-

chair and stow these safely.

– Secure the wheelchair by way of

elasticated straps.

Note!

The elastic straps are only to be se-

cured to the appropriate fastening

points of the vehicle and the frame of

the PROFI 3 (Fig.45+46)!
