BASIC SAFETY
INFORMATION
This safety information is an extract of the
Safety and general handling instructions,
that can be found on our website: < www.
meyra.com >.
Do not insert fingers into open frame
tubes (for example after removing the
arm supports, leg supports or support
castors). – Danger of injury!
Scuttling (rolling motion of the wheel-
chair with help of the feet) is only permit-
ted with creeping rolling speed on hori-
zontal, level surfaces indoors.
When scutteling watch for the possibility
of jamming the feet.
In doing so the sitting position may not
be slid onto the front third of the seat.
A stable sitting position is to kept while
using the wheelchair, even when not in
motion and especially on hills and slopes.
– Danger of accidents!
In a safe sitting position the back of the
user lies directly on the back support up-
holstery and the hip of the user is at the
back end of the seat.
Transit out of the multifunction and bear-
ing wheelchair on hills/slopes may only
be carried out in emergencies and with
the aid of an accompanying person and/
or helper! – Danger of accidents!
Adjust the seat inclination only when the
multifunction and bearing wheelchair is
standing on a horizontal, level surface. A
danger of tipping over exists on gradients!
Increased danger of tipping over when
using the angle adjustable back support.
Before starting to drive make sure that no
negative seat inclination has been adjust-
ed, respectively that a safe seating posi-
tion is ensured.
When driving on slopes the height adjust-
able leg supports are to be brought into
the initial position.
When driving on slopes, the seatsur face
is to be brought into a position adjusted
hori zontally matched with the slope.
You should not smoke while using the
multifunction and bearing wheelchair.
Exposure to direct sunlight can cause seat
covers/upholstery, arm support pads, leg
supports and handles to heat up to over
41 °C. – Contact with exposed skin can
result in injury! Prevent such heating by
parking the multifunction and bearing
wheelchair in a shaded area.
Special attachment points for fastening
objects that are to be carried along are
not provided.
