Introduction; Acceptance; Assembly - Meyra PROFI 3 Operating Manual

INTRODUCTION

With the PROFI 3 model 2.871 and
model 2.875-S from MEYRA, you own
a highly sophisticated sport wheelchair
which can be adapted to your personal
needs.
The technical innovations which our engi-
neers have incorporated in co-operation
with athletes who have practical experi-
ence make this wheelchair an ideal
partner for demanding wheelchair ath-
letes.
This operating manual will give you all
the information your require – clearly
written and with illustrations.
This operating manual is applicable for
the PROFI 3 model 2.871 and the
model 2.875-S with all equipment var-
iants and their accessories. It will there-
fore contain chapters that do not apply
to your model.
Be sure to read and under-
stand this operating manual
and the brochure "Safety infor-
mation - Mechanical wheel-
chairs" before your first drive.
Pictures and graphic illustra-
tions are contained in the ap-
pended illustration part.
Note!
The components shown in the figures
are not always identical with your
wheelchair model. The position and
the use of the parts to be operated
can be transferred to your model. Al-
ways check that components are fixed
correctly after assembly as well as
after any adjustment or modification.

ACCEPTANCE

All MEYRA wheelchairs are tested in our
factory for fault-free operation, and are
packed in special boxes.
However, we request that you check the
vehicle for possible transport damage
immediately on receipt – 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.
