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

iants and their accessories. It will there-
fore contain chapters that do not apply
to your model.

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.

Your PROFI 3 will have been assem-
