INTRODUCTION
As owner of the PROFI 3-T model
2.874 and the OFFENCE model
1.879 from MEYRA, you are in posses-
sion of a highly-sophisticated wheelchair
that can be adapted to your personal
requirements.
The technical innovations that our engi-
neers have incorporated in the wheel-
chairs as a result of their co-operation
with experienced athletes make them
the ideal partner for professional and
amateur sport activities.
This operating manual will give you all
the information you require – clearly
written and with illustrations.
This operating manual applies for the
PROFI 3-T model 2.874 and the OF-
FENCE model 1.879 with all fittings
and accessories. It will therefore contain
sections that do not apply to your mod-
el.
Be sure to read and understand
this operating manual and the
brochure “Safety information -
Mechanical wheelchairs” before
your first drive.
Pictures and graphic illustrations
are contained in the appended
illustration part.
Remark:
The components shown in the fig-
ures are not always identical with
your wheelchair model. The posi-
tion and the use of the parts to be
operated can be transferred to
your model. Always check that
components are fixed correctly af-
ter assembly as well as after any
adjustment or modification.
