INTRODUCTION
We thank you for the confidence you
have placed in our company by choos-
ing a wheelchair from this series.
The model 1.736, fulfils the wish for
mobility and more independence by
way of a new styling of the proven
MEYRA technology.
With all equipment and their accesso-
ries the wheelchair offers die respec-
tive adaptation to your disability.
Like any other vehicle, a wheelchair is
a technical aid. It requires explanation,
a little care and holds dangers when
used improperly. The correct handling
must therefore be learned.
This manual is to help you get accus-
tomed to the handling of the wheel-
chair 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 applicable for your vehicle.
!Attention:
Read and observe the following
documentation belonging to the
wheelchair before first operation:
– this operating manual,
– the safety information < Mechani-
cal wheelchairs >.
☞Note:
Children should read the documen-
tation belonging to the wheelchair
together with their parents respec-
tively a supervisor or attendant be-
fore first use.
7
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 presence
of the carrier.
☞The packaging of the wheelchair
should be stored for a further
transport that might become nec-
essary.
ADJUSTMENT
Our specialist workshop supplies your
wheelchair ready for use and adjusted
to suit your special requirements.
☞Note:
The tools required for adjustments
and maintenance is listed under
chapter < Technical Data >.
HANDLING THE WHEEL-
CHAIR
Specifications
The wheelchair, model 1.736 was de-
veloped for adults and adolescents.
Three frames are available:
– short,
– medium,
– long.
The wheelchair solely serves to trans-
port one person in the seat and not as
a hauling aid, transporters or similar.
8
Use
Through its constructive advantages
the wheelchair can universally be
implemented on hard surfaces and
therefore an allround-wheelchair:
– for indoors (e.g. apartment, day
care),
– outdoors (e.g. in parks),
– as a companion on tours (e.g. in a
bus or train).
The wheelchair offers manifold ad-
justment possibilities to individual vi-
tal statistics.
The wheelchair should be adapted
to your needs by a specialist dealer
before the first use. The adaptation
will take into account the driving ex-
perience, the physical limits of the
user and the main place of use of the
wheelchair.
!Attention:
Always have adaptation and ad-
justment work carried out by a
specialist dealer.
Auxiliary drives
Before attaching auxiliary drives the
following notes have to be consid-
ered:
!Attention:
Attachment of auxiliary drives may
only be done on wheelchair mod-
els cleared for these.
☞The list of wheelchair models
cleared for auxiliary drives can be
acquired at any authorised dealer.

DRIVING
Alignment of the driving behaviour
and the personal abilities is to be car-
ried out together with your specialist
dealer or therapist and is achieved af-
ter a short acquaintance period, test
drive.
!Attention:
Drive with extreme caution during
these first trips!
• Observe the section < driving train-
ing > in the safety instructions <
Mechanical wheelchairs >!
Safety information
!Attention:
Please follow all instructions in the
safety information < Mechanical
wheelchairs >.
• A directly opposed change of direc-
tion from backward motion with-
out steering into a forward motion
with simultaneously inward swivel-
ling steering wheels has the effect
of a full stop.
• Applying a safety belt prevents
falling out toward the front.
• In order to raise the backward tilt-
ing stability supporting wheels can
be mounted later on.
• When propelling the wheelchair
over the tyre there is a risk of inju-
ry in the area of the pressure bra-
ke.
Supplementary user/safety
information
• Clean, passive lighting is required
for driving in public traffic.
• Do not throw or drop parts belong-
ing to the wheelchair! – Detach-
able parts like e.g. side elements
and drive wheels have to be used
properly To guarantee their func-
tion.
• Removable parts, e.g. side ele-
ments and drive wheels must be
checked for correct locking before
starting to drive. Drive wheels with
defective linchpin (quick-fit) axles
can detach from the wheelchair
during the drive.
• By adding on or removing acces-
sories/components the dimensions
and weight of the wheelchair
change which can affect the driv-
ing behaviour.
