INTRODUCTION

We thank you for the conﬁdence you

have placed in our company by way of

choosing the SCOOTER.

The model you selected fulﬁls your

desire for mobility and more inde-

pendence.

As any other vehicle, the SCOOTER 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 your SCOOTER 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 vehicle.

!

Attention:

Read and observe the following

documentation belonging to the

SCOOTER before ﬁrst operation:

– this operating manual,

– the safety and general handling in-

structions < Electronic vehicles >.

☞ Note:

Children and juveniles should read

the documentation belonging to

the SCOOTER 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 users with visual impair-

ments can have the documentation

read out by a helper.

If the following indications occur we

recommend the application of this

mobility product:

☞ Walking disability resp. extremely

limited walking ability as part of

the basic need to move around in

your own home.

☞ Provision with an electronic vehi-

cle for indoor use is only indicated

when the use of manual wheel-

chairs is no longer possible due to

the handicap but the electronic

vehicle can still be operated appro-

priately.

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 pres-

ence of the carrier.

☞ Note:

The packaging of the SCOOTER

should be stored for a further

transport that might become nec-

essary.

7

USE

With mounted seat and arm supports,

the SCOOTER serves solely to trans-

port a sitting person. Other pulling or

transporting uses do not comply with

its intended purpose.

This model is a SCOOTER, for indoor

use on ﬁrm, level surfaces.

The SCOOTER offers manifold adjust-

ment possibilities to individual body

dimensions.

The adjustment of the SCOOTER

should be carried out by your special-

ist dealer before ﬁrst use. The proce-

dure considers the driving capabilities,

the physical limitations of the user

and the main area of application of

the SCOOTER.

!

Attention:

Always have adaptation and ad-

justment work carried out by a

specialist dealer.

SPECIFICATIONS

The SCOOTER is an environment-

friendly electronic vehicle. It was de-

veloped to extend the mobility of

persons with health-related or age-

related restrictions.

☞ The model has been assigned the

'Use Class A' as per the EN12184

standard.

8

ADJUSTMENT

The specialist dealer hands your

SCOOTER over under consideration

of all relevant safety regulations in an

operationally ready state and adjust-

ed to your demands.

☞ Note:

☞ We recommend a regular check

of the adjustments with the goal

of achieving a long term optimal

provision even in case of changing

disease-/handicap patterns of the

user. Especially for children and

juveniles an adjustment every 6

months is recommendable.

☞ We recommend regular physical

check ups by a doctor in order to

ensure active use of the SCOOTER.

☞ Retrospective adjustments should

be carried out solely by the special-

ist dealer!

LIFESPAN

We expect an average lifespan of

about 5 years for this product, as far

as the product is applied for its des-

ignated purpose and all maintenance

and service guidelines.

The lifespan of your product depends

upon the frequency of use, the appli-

cation environment and care.

The implementation of spare parts

can prolong the lifespan of the prod-

uct. As a rule spare parts are available

up to 5 years after production is dis-

continued.

☞ The indicated lifespan does not

constitute additional guarantee.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

Before starting to drive, the following

should be checked:

☞ Ensure that the steering column

lock is released!

☞ the battery charge level (1),

☞ the preselected maximum ﬁnal

speed setting (2).

– Observe chapter < Preselection of

ﬁnal speed >.

!

Attention:

The functions and safety of the

SCOOTER must be checked before

the start of each journey.

BATTERY GAUGE

General information:

☞ The value shown depends on the

ambient temperature, the age of

the battery and the type of load. It

should therefore only be taken as

an approximate value.

☞ A sufﬁciently exact display of the

battery charge can only be shown

while driving on level surfaces.

– Uphill/downhill travel falsiﬁes

the indication.

☞ The kilometric performance of the

SCOOTER respectively the batter-

ies, should be tested at least once.

☞ If the indicator gauge for opera-

tional readiness (3) blinks slowly

the batteries should be charged.

☞ If the display for operational readi-

ness (3) blinks rapidly or at differ-

ent intervals, an error has occurred.

– Therefore view chapter < Fault

correction >.
