INTRODUCTION

The MEYRA Folding Wheelchair model

3.350 -X1, 3.351-X2 and 3.352-X3 fulfil the

wish for mobility and more independence by

way of a new styling of the proven MEYRA

technology. Benefit from the design advantag-

es of your wheelchair, both indoors (e.g. at

home, at your place of work) and outdoors.

This operating manual will give you all the in-

formation you require – clearly written and

with illustrations.

Attention:

Be sure to read and understand this operat-

ing manual and the brochure “Safety infor-

mation – Mechanical wheelchairs” before

your first drive.

• Children must read this Operating Manual

and the ‘Safety information – mechanical

wheelchairs’ brochure together with a par-

ent or supervising person before their first

drive and thereafter observe the contents!

ACCEPTANCE

All MEYRA 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 im-

mediately on receipt – preferably in the

presence of the carrier.

Please arrange the following if you believe

damage occurred during transport:

a) Draw up a DAMAGE REPORT – the carrier

is required to do this.

b) Draw up a LETTER OF SUBROGATION –

you assign to the supplier all claims result-

ing from this damage.

c) Send back the BILL OF LADING, the DAM-

AGE REPORT and the LETTER OF SUBRO-

GATION to us.

We are unable to accept any claims for com-

pensation if you fail to observe these instruc-

tions or notify us of damage after the goods

have been accepted.

ASSEMBLY

The specialist workshop delivers your wheel-

chair to you in an operative state and adapt-

ed to your requirements.

SPECIFICATIONS/ UTILISA-

TION

The wheelchair is designed for universal use

and therefore all-round wheelchair for indoor

use (e.g. at home or at the place of work), for

recreational outdoor activities on firm surfaces

and as a travel companion.

The optimised crossbrace design offers you

both a small folded size and a rigid frame,

i.e. high stability.

It serves exclusively for the transportation of a

person on the seat and not as ladder or as a

means of pulling or transporting items, or simi-

lar.

Attention:

Please observe the brochure “Safety Infor-

mation – Mechanical Wheelchairs” for your

own safety!

DRIVING

The first adjustment of the driving features of

your wheelchair to suit your personal needs

will be possible at once, following a brief “in-

troductory “ phase of driver training.

Attention:

Drive with extreme caution during these first

trips.

Please follow all instructions in the section

“Driver Training” in the brochure “Safety In-

formation – Mechanical Wheelchairs”!

You will be confronted with new situations dur-

ing each trip and will have to cope with

these, as is the case in all areas of life, e.g.

family, career, leisure pursuits. Utilise the fold-

ing wheelchair’s adaptability to the needs of

the user. This offers you outstanding driving

comfort and high operational safety.

This operating manual will give you all neces-

sary information.

Attention:

Please follow all instructions in the brochure

“Safety information – Mechanical wheel-

chairs”.

• Avoid sudden change to the opposite direc-

tion, (e.g. change to forward drive after

driving backwards without any movement of

the steering wheel). – This can lead to acci-

dents due to full braking while steering

wheels are moving inwards!

• In order to raise the backward tilting stabili-

ty supporting wheels can be mounted later

on.

• When propelling the wheelchair over the

tyre there is a risk of injury in the area of the

pressure brake.

BRAKE

The wheelchair is fitted with a pressure brake

(fig. 2). It works directly on the tyres.

Pushing the brake levers to the end stop locks

the brakes and prevents your wheelchair from

being pushed (parking brakes).

Benefits:

– Controlled braking of the driving speed

(service brake).

– Secures the wheelchair against accidental

rolling.

Attention:

Please observe the Maintenance Instructions

as well as instructions in the section “Gener-

al Safety Information” and “Brakes” in the

brochure “Safety information - Mechanical

wheelchairs”!

• Any decrease in braking performance must

be repaired immediately by your specialist

workshop.

• The brake performance decreases when:

– tyre profile is worn

– tyre pressure is too low

– tyres are wet

– pressure brake is loose.

PRESSURE BRAKE

Service brake

Gently and evenly press both brake levers (5)

slightly forwards. This way, you brake the

wheelchair in a measured way (fig. 2).

Locking the pressure brakes

Push both brake levers (5) forward as far as

they will go (fig. 3).

Attention:

If only one brake is applied when the wheel-

chair is driving down an incline, the free-run-

ning wheel will continue moving around the

locked wheel. Depending on the gradient

of the road, this can lead to the wheelchair

overturning to the side.

Releasing the pressure brakes

Pull both brake levers (5) back, (fig. 2).

Adjusting the pressure brakes

The pressure brakes must be readjusted after

each refitting of a drive wheel.

Pre-setting of the pressure brakes:

– Loosen the clamping screws (1, fig. 4) of

one pressure brake.

– Pre-set the pressure brake – Slide the brake

bolt of the non-activated pressure brake to a

point approx. 10mm in front of the drive

wheel.

– Tighten clamping screws (1, fig. 4) secure-

ly.

– Adjust opposite pressure brakes as de-

scribed.

Fine adjustment of the pressure brakes:

– Loosen the centre clamping screw (2, fig.

4.1) of the respective pressure brake.

– Equally adjust both pressure brakes, taking

into account

• tyres of the driving wheels and

• tyre pressure and

• the weight of the person

adjust evenly. – Danger of accidents

caused by one sided braking effect!

– Tighten the centre clamping screw (2, fig.

4.1) of the respective pressure brake.

☞ Note:

You will find the air pressure values for the

tyres for your wheelchair in the Technical

Specifications or the information given for

both sides of the wheels.

Attention:

It should not be possible to push the wheel-

chair forward when both brakes are locked.

4.1

CALF BELT

The leg strap (6) prevents the feet from slipping

from the foot board. It is lead around the front

frame tubes (fig. 5) and adapted to the correct

length with the velcro strap.

Attention:

Never drive without leg strap (except when

shuffling)!

LEG SUPPORTS

FOLDING UP THE FOOTBOARD

Benefits:

– Easy transfer into and out of the wheelchair.

wheelchair from rolling away accidentally.

– Remove both feet from the footplate.

Folding up the foot board

For an unobstructed foot area, fold up the left

side of the foot board to the right as far as it

will go, (fig. 6).

Folding up the foot board (Code

rests on the foot board holder (fig. 7).

Folding down the foot board

(Code 313)

Fold down the right side of the foot board until

it rests on the foot board holder (fig. 7.1).

Altering the foot board height

The height of the footboard is adjustable in

several positions.

Attention:

Do not lift your wheelchair via the clothing

guards!

Adapting the clothes guard

The fitting is to be done by an authorised deal-

er!

ing!

By loosening the two screws (A+B, fig.

15+16) the mudguard can be slightly adjust-

ed.

In positions, in which the mudguard cannot be

adjusted to the course of the wheel, the cuff

(C, fig. 16) of the back tube has to be taken

off, turned to the front as well as upside down

and remounted again. The fixation point is

then in front of the back tubes.
