INTRODUCTION

The MEYRA-multi-function-wheel-

chair, Model 2.250 is a lying and posi-

tioning wheelchair, especially tuned

to domestic and geriatric provision.

The proven technology and the com-

fortable equipment ensure a comfort-

able and relaxed sitting together with

optimum safety.

This operating manual will give you

all the information you require –

clearly written and with illustrations.

!

Attention:

Before using the wheelchair for

tion – mechanical wheelchairs >

brochure together with a parent

or supervising person before their

first drive and thereafter observe

the contents!

– This Operating Manual applies for

the wheelchair MODEL 2.250, in-

cluding all equipment and acces-

sories. It will therefore contain sec-

tions that do not apply to your

DRIVING

The matching of the driving behav-

iour of the Model 2.250 and your per-

sonal circumstances is first achieved

after a short familiarisation phase, the

driving training.

!

Attention:

Drive with extreme caution during

these first trips.

• Observe the chapter < driver

training > in the brochure < Safe-

ty information – Mechanical

wheelchairs >!

During each trip, you will be confront-

ed with new situations and must cope

with these, as is necessary in all areas

of life. MODEL 2.250 is a very versa-

tile wheelchair and can be optimally

adapted to the needs of the user.

This offers you outstanding driving

comfort and high operational safety.

This operating manual will give you

all necessary information.

!

Attention:

Please follow all instructions in the

brochure < Safety information

Mechanical wheelchairs >.

Avoid sudden change to the oppo-

site direction, (e.g. change to for-

ward drive after driving backwards

without any movement of the

steering wheel). – This can lead to

accidents due to full braking while

steering wheels are moving in-

wards!

9

BRAKE

The parking brakes are part of the

most important safety elements of a

wheelchair. This function is provided

by pressure brakes or air pressure in-

dependent drum brakes.

!

Attention:

Please observe the Maintenance

Instructions as well as instructions

in the section < General Safety In-

formation > and < Brakes > in the

brochure < Safety information

Mechanical wheelchairs >!

The wheelchair is fir with two brake

levers each for the user (A, fig. 3). Also

available are 2 additional brake levers

for the attendant (B, fig. 4).

!

Attention:

For optimal braking effect the

drum brake is to be kept free of

grease, oil, gunge and dust. – Dan-

ger of accidents!

BRAKE LEVER FOR USER

Benefits:

– Controlled braking of the driving

speed (service brake).

– Securing the wheelchair against

accidental rolling (parking brake).

B

!

Attention:

When activating and locking only

one brake lever on slopes the free

wheel rolls downhill around the

braked wheel.

Depending on the gradient of the

road, this can lead to the wheel-

chair overturning to the side.

10

BRAKE

SERVICE BRAKE

– Gently and evenly press both brake

levers slightly forwards. This way,

you brake the wheelchair in a

measured way.

PARKING BRAKE

– Push both brake levers forward as

far as they will go (fig. 5). The

brakes engage and the wheelchair

can no longer be pushed (parking

brake).

LOOSEN THE PARKING BRAKE

– Pull back both brake levers as far

as they will go (fig. 6).

PARKING BRAKE FOR HELPER

Service brake

– Pull both brake levers (B, fig. 4)

only slightly upward, this gradual-

ly brakes the wheelchair down.

BRAKE

LOCKING THE DRUM BRAKES

– To secure the wheelchair against

accidental rolling, evenly pull both

brake levers.

– Then press the surface (A, fig. 7)

of the latching pawl.

– Let go of the brake lever. – De-

pending on the setting, the latch-

ing pawl will click into the first or

second latching position and lock

the brake.

☞ Note:

– It should not be possible to push

the wheelchair forward when both

brakes are locked.

– The brake must be readjusted by

a specialist workshop if the third

latching position must be used in

order to lock the brake.

!

Attention:

The brake performance reduces

with the wear on the brake pads.

• Any decrease in braking perform-

ance must be repaired immediate-

ly by your specialist workshop.

Attention:

Never drive without leg strap (ex-

cept when shuffling)! – The leg

strap is omitted for height adjust-

able leg supports and is replaced

by a leg padding.
