INTRODUCTION
We thank you for the confidence you
have placed in our company by choos-
ing a wheelchair from this series.
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 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 the wheelchair 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 individual wheelchair.
!Attention:
Read and observe the following
documentation belonging to the
wheelchair before first operation:
– this operating manual,
– Safety and general handling in-
structions < Mechanical and mus-
cle powered wheelchairs >.
☞Note:
Children and juveniles should read
the documentation belonging to
the wheelchair 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.
