INTRODUCTION

The MEYRA Electronic Wheelchair

SPRINT GT, model 2.593, fulfills the

wish for mobility and more independ-

ence by way of a new styling of the

proven MEYRA technology. Benefit from

the design advantages of your wheel-

chair, both indoors (e.g. at home, at

your place of work) and outdoors.

This operating manual will give you all

the information you require – clearly

written and with illustrations.

Attention:

Before you make your first drive,

read and observe the contents of this

operating manual and the 'Safety in-

formation – electronic wheelchairs'

brochure!

Remark:

• Pictures and graphic illustrations

are contained in the appended il-

lustration part.

• Children must read this operating

manual and the 'Safety information

– electronic wheelchairs' brochure

together with a parent or supervis-

ing/accompanying person before

their first drive and thereafter ob-

serve the contents!

ACCEPTANCE

All MEYRA products are checked for

faults in the factory and packed in spe-

cial boxes.

Remark:

However, we request that you

check the vehicle for possible trans-

port damage immediately on re-

ceipt – preferably in the presence

of the carrier.

Please arrange the following if you be-

lieve damage occurred during trans-

port:

a) Draw up a DAMAGE REPORT – the

carrier is required to do this.

b) Draw up a LETTER OF SUBROGA-

TION – you assign to the supplier all

claims resulting from this damage.

c) Send back the BILL OF LADING, the

DAMAGE REPORT and the LETTER

OF SUBROGATION to us.

We are unable to accept any claims for

compensation if you fail to observe

these instructions or notify us of damage

after the goods have been accepted.

ASSEMBLY

The specialist workshop delivers your

wheelchair to you in an operative state

and adapted to your requirements.

STATUTORY REGULA-

TIONS

Observe the applicable laws and traffic

regulations when driving on roads and

never drive without the side parts!

A driving licence is generally not re-

quired for driving an electronic wheel-

chair.

A liability insurance is only mandatory (in

Germany) for a wheelchair with a

speed in excess of 6 km/h but is never-

theless recommendable. The insurance

sign must be fixed to the rear of the ve-

hicle. Securing holes are usually al-

ready available.

In addition to the liability insurance,

wheelchairs with speeds exceeding

6km/h also require (in Germany) a ve-

hicle approval.

The necessary appraisal report will be

supplied to you with the wheelchair.

The application for the vehicle approval

is dependent on the respective vehicle

registration centre.

You usually only need to post the ap-

praisal report to your local vehicle reg-

istration centre in order to apply for the

vehicle approval for your electronic

wheelchair. You will then be sent the

stamped vehicle approval. You must al-

ways have the vehicle approval with

you when driving on public roads.

trol boxes only)

If drive mode is switched off (brake re-

lease lever in the "push" position) the

wheelchair cannot be operated and

braked via the joystick! In this event, use

the brake release lever (shift to the

"drive" position). – Danger of acci-

dents!

Attention:

Please observe the Safety Instruc-

tions!

Although the wheelchair conforms with

the statutory EMV regulations, it can

cause unintentional interference noise if

operated in the vicinity of sensitive elec-

tronic equipment (e.g. buzzing, hum-

ming).

The wheelchair can also interfere with

electromagnetic fields, e.g. such as

those emitted by shop anti-theft systems.

Attention:

Mobile telephones and other radio

equipment should only be used when

the wheelchair is stationary (control

box switched off) for reasons of safe-

ty.

Braking the wheelchair

The wheelchair stops when you let go of

the joystick. Always ensure an adequate

braking distance when applying the

wheelchair brakes.

Remark:

Depending on the nature of the driving

surface and speed, the shortest braking

distance is:

approx. 1 m for the 6 km/h version

andmin. of 1.5 m for the 10 km/h ver-

sion.

For this reason, ensure that you brake

the wheelchair in good time when you

encounter other people or obstacles.

Attention:

Braking the wheelchair when

traveling downhill at high speed can

cause it to skid. – Danger of acci-

dents!

• When traveling downhill, select a

low speed!

• Avoid jerky adjustments to driving

status when negotiating hills, trans-

verse slopes and obstacles.

• Especially avoid tight turning and

jerky braking on inclines with critical-

ly set driving parameters.– Danger

of overturning!

• Before performing maintenance

work, dismantling/mounting parts or

adjusting the settings on the wheel-

chair, push the brake release lever

to the "drive" position and switch off

the control box! – Accident risk re-

sulting from inadvertent movement of

the wheelchair!

DRIVING BEHAVIOR

Drive especially carefully during your

first journey!!

Bearing this in mind, set the pre-selecta-

ble final speed to the lowest setting.

Press the minus key [24] on the key field

of the control box (see 'Pre-operation

Checks').

Attention:

Please observe the Safety Instruc-

tions!

You determine the speed and driving

direction yourself when driving through

the movement of the joystick [35] and

the maximum top speed setting of your

wheelchair.

When reversing with the joystick leaning

to the left, your wheelchair makes a

right turn.

A reversal of the steering direction is,

with certain manoeverabiltiy restrictions,

possible by reprogramming..

Negotiating curbs

Curbs can be negotiated with the

detachable curb aid Code 862.

Please observe the operating man-

ual which is supplied with Code

862.

BRAKE RELEASE LEVER

Locking the brake

Push the brake release lever (11) for-

ward as far as it will go, (Fig. 3).

Attention:

It is impossible to push the wheelchair

when in drive mode.

• The brake performance decreases

when:

– the brake pads are worn.

If the wheelchair demonstrates an une-

ven or impaired braking effect, take it

immediately to your specialist workshop

for repair.

Releasing the brake

Pull the knob on the brake release lever

and pull the brake release lever back

as far as it will go (Fig. 4).

Attention:

Do not get into/out of the wheelchair

unless it is switched off and the selec-

tion lever has been set to drive

mode.

Inadvertently knocking the control le-

ver (35) will set the wheelchair in

motion without control! – Danger of

accidents!

BRAKES

The brakes are one of the most impor-

tant safety features of a wheelchair.

The SPRINT GT model 2.593 is

equipped with two independently-work-

ing braking systems as a standard fea-

ture.

1. The motor brake:

An electronic service brake which

brakes the wheelchair gently without

jerking.

2. The safety magnetic brakes:

These are used only when the wheel-

chair is stationary. They are activated

by way of the selection lever for

drive/push mode. At the same time,

they guarantee the automatic brak-

ing of the wheelchair in the event of a

power failure.

You switch the safety magnetic brakes

from the drive mode to the push mode

with the brake release lever located at

the side of the wheelchair!– Also ob-

serve the signs affixed to the left and

right of the brake release lever.

Attention:

Danger of crushing between the

drive wheel and frame.

• The safety magnetic brakes are im-

mediately fully effective after the

brake release lever is pushed into

the 'drive mode' position. – Control-

led braking is not possible!

• Please observe the Safety Instruc-

tions!

PREPARING THE

WHEELCHAIR FOR

OPERATION

Follow the instructions below in the stat-

ed order.

1. Shift to drive mode.

Push the brake release lever (11)

forward as far as it will go, (Fig. 3).

Attention:

Do not switch to push mode when the

wheelchair is in operation!

2. Insert the battery fuse (main

fuse)

Blade-type fuse:

The blade-type main power fuse is

located in the fuse holder under the

seat (A, Fig. 5).

3. Position of the control box

The control box should be positioned

in such a way that you can comforta-

bly and safely steer the wheelchair.

Longitudinal adjustment:

Loosen adjustment screw (A, Fig. 6).

Height adjustment

The height of the control box is adjust-

ed with the adjusting screw (B, Fig.

6) (see also 'Armrests' section).

Do not forget to

tighten the adjusting screw again.

4. Insert drive key

Insert the drive key [28] in the drive

key socket (Fig. 38). The control box

is deactivated when the drive key is

removed. This secures the wheel-

chair against unauthorised use!

Attention:

Do not insert any object other than

the drive key into the drive key sock-

et. – Danger of short circuit!

Remark:

– Always remove the drive key after

you have switched off the wheel-

chair with the ON/OFF key (Fig.

39) in order to prevent a battery

discharge (e.g. through leakage

currents which can result in battery

damage!

– If the drive key is removed during

motion, the wheelchair will contin-

ue to travel until the joystick is re-

turned to the zero position.

– The wheelchair switches off auto-

matically when the joystick remains

in the zero position (centre posi-

tion) for more than 2 seconds after

the drive key has been removed.

5. Switch on control box

Press the ON/OFF key [34] on the

key field of the control panel (Fig. 7).

– The LED of the pre-selected speed

[27] will go on (Fig. 8).

– The LCD indication [39] will appear

on LCD control boxes.

(see 'Control box' section).

Remark:

– Only transfer to and from the

wheelchair when the wheelchair is

switched off and the brake release

lever has been placed into the for-

ward position!

– Inadvertently knocking the control

lever [35] will set the wheelchair

in motion without control! – Danger

of accidents!

– Do not move the joystick until the

self-test of the electronics has end-

ed!

– The signalling bar [41] (Fig. 9),

respectively, the malfunction indi-

cation [37] (Fig. 8) will stop blink-

ing after switch-on.

6. Check before drive start:

– the battery charge level and

– the pre-selected top speed setting.

(See 'Pre-operation checks' and 'con-

trol box' sections!).

PRE-OPERATION

CHECKS

A self-test (approx. 2 sec.) occurs imme-

diately after the control box has been

switched on (press the ON/OFF key).

The warning indication [29] (Fig. 8),

respectively, the signalling bar [41]

(Fig.9) blinks.

The warning indication [29] (Fig. 8)

blinks when the hazard warning light is

switched on and in the case of malfunc-

tion (see 'Fault clearance' part of 'Serv-

ice' section').

The symbol for 'push mode' [37] (Fig.

8) goes on when the push mode is acti-

vated.

BATTERY CHARGING STATUS

After switch-on, the battery indication

[30] (Fig. 8) shows the battery charge

state.

LED control box

Battery indication:

• no LED on, – ready to drive, batter-

ies charged.

• permanent yellow light, – middle to

low battery charge (working range).

• permanent yellow and red light,

– low to no battery charge. – Re-

charge batteries!

• permanent red light, – batteries dis-

charged, voltage dropped to 21 V.

– Recharge batteries as soon as pos-

sible!

• blinking red light, – batteries fully dis-

charged, voltage dropped to less

than 20.5 V.– Recharge batteries

immediately.

LCD control box

After the control box has been switched

on (press the ON/OFF key), the battery

symbol [30] on the LCD display (Fig. 9)

shows the battery charge state.

The value shown depends on the ambi-

ent temperature, the age of the battery

and the type of load. It should therefore

only be taken as an approximate value.

If doubt exists, the daily kilometre indi-

cation should also be considered for a

better estimation of the remaining re-

serve.

The kilometric performance (range) of

the wheelchair should be tested at least

once.

The daily kilometre indication should be

set to zero after each charging process

to aid the kilometric performance esti-

mation.

You can derive a very useful estimation

of the remaining driving capacity [km]

by comparing the distance you have al-

ready driven (according to the daily kil-

ometre indication) with the average sum

of the driven distances [km] you previ-

ously covered before the symbol for 5%

battery capacity started blinking.

Battery symbols and meaning

of LCD indications

It will be impossible to

continue the journey!

PRE-OPERATION

CHECKS

PRE-SELECTION OF FINAL

SPEED

The pre-selectable top speed can be set

with the

- and - keys after the

control box has been switched on (by

pressing the ON/OFF key).

Attention:

Adapt and reduce speed when

traveling up or downhill in accord-

ance with gradient. However, never

exceed the permitted top speed (6

or 10 km/h depending on version).

– Danger of accidents!

Have you selected an appro-

priate maximum final speed?

The maximum final speed should reflect

the given conditions.

Attention:

Risk of accident by the selection of an

inappropriate maximum final speed

setting!

Always select a low final speed in

driving situations which you do not

feel comfortable with (e.g. opera-

tion in confined spaces or traveling

uphill on ramps etc.).

2. Situation:

Crossing a road junction.

Necessary setting: high maximum

speed

Incorrect setting:

Low maximum speed

Consequence:

The wheelchair does not cross the junc-

tion quickly enough.

Accident risk due to oncoming

vehicles!

Top-speed indication on LED

control box (Fig. 10)

The top speed has a default setting of

100% after the control box has been

switched on (by pressing the ON/OFF

key [34] (Fig. 10).

The top speed can be set to one of 4

levels (each 25%) with the

- and

- keys (also whilst driving).

The lit LED indicates the selected top

speed.

Level: (pre-selection indication)

= 100% (maximum top speed)

= 75% (almost max. top speed)

= 50% (top speed reduced to

one-half)

= 25% (greatly reduced top

speed) – not selectable!

Have you selected an appro-

priate maximum final speed?

Risk of accident by the selection of an

inappropriate maximum final speed set-

ting!

Always select a low final speed in driv-

ing situations which you do not feel com-

fortable with (e.g. operation in confined

spaces or traveling uphill on ramps

etc.).

This can be highlighted by two exam-

ples:

1. Situation:

Use in the home.

Necessary setting: low maximum speed

Incorrect setting:

High maximum speed

Consequence:

Small movements of the joystick cause

the wheelchair to set off at speed.

The operator loses control in the con-

fined space of the home. – Danger of

accidents!

PRE-OPERATION

CHECKS

Top-speed indication on LCD

control box (Fig. 11)

The pre-selected top speed is stored

when the control box is switched off (by

pressing the ON/OFF key [34] (Fig.

11) and used as the default value when

the next switch-on occurs.

The top speed can be set to one of 4

levels (each 25%) with the

- and

- keys (also whilst driving).

The symbol [27] indicates the selected

top speed.

Symbol: (pre-selection indication)

Level 4 = 100% (maximum

top speed)

the desired speed.

The wheelchair will move off slowly or

quickly when you activate the joystick,

depending on the maximum speed set-

ting.

Reverse motion

Push the lever back until you attain the

desired speed.

POSITIONING AND REMOVAL

OF CONTROL BOX

Longitudinal adjustment:

Slacken the adjusting screw (A, Fig. 6)

and pull/push the control box [13] to

the desired position (marking indicates

max. point).

Removal:

Slacken the adjusting screw (A, Fig. 6)

and pull the control box [13] forwards

out of the guide.

Attention:

Operation of the wheelchair after

removing the control box is only per-

mitted when the therapy table is be-

ing lowered and raised! – Danger of

accidents!

Height adjustment

The height of the control box can be

adjusted after the adjusting screw (B Fig.

6) has been slackened (see 'Armrests'

section).

Braking to a standstill

Controlled braking:

Move the lever back towards the neu-

tral position in accordance with the re-

quired degree of braking.

Emergency braking:

Release the lever and allow it click back

into the neutral position of its own ac-

cord. – The wheelchair will then brake

over the shortest possible distance.

When carrying out this braking manoeu-

vre, take into account a braking dis-

tance of

approx. 1.0 m for 6 km/h version and

approx. 1.5 m for 10 km/h version!

This standard value may differ, de-

pending on the condition of the tyres, the

overall weight of the wheelchair and

the condition of the road surface.

Turning to the left and right

Move the lever to the left or right in

accordance with the desired turning ra-

dius

Remark:

The smaller the turning radius the

higher the reduction in speed.
