Maintenance
Like any other technical product, your
Profi 3 also needs to be maintained.
The following maintenance instructions
describe, in table form, the work that
needs to be carried out so that you will
be able to fully enjoy the advantages of
your wheelchair (quiet running, low roll-
ing resistance) even after a long period
of use.
Care
Seat and backrest cover:
Clean the covers with warm water. In
the case of stubborn soiling, the fabric
can be washed with a standard washing
powder for delicate fabrics. Spots can
be removed with a sponge or a soft
brush.
Note:
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents
e.g. solvents, or hard brushes etc.
Rinse with clear water and let get dry.
Plastic parts:
The foot plates, or similar, consist of
high-quality plastic parts. Take care of
these by means of standard plastics
cleaning agents. Always observe the
specific product information.
Finish:
The high quality finish ensures an opti-
mum of protection against corrosion. If
the surface finish is damaged by scratch-
es or similar, touch it up with a varnish
pen available from us. Occasional ap-
plication of a light cover of oil to all
moving parts (see also Maintenance In-
structions) will ensure that your wheel-
chair will give you many years of serv-
ice.
Spare parts
Only use ORIGINAL MEYRA
spareparts.
The wheel camber must be indicated
when ordering a pressure brake.
Repairs
If any repairs are required, please con-
tact your specialist workshop. Personnel
there are well trained to carry out the
work required.
Customer Service
Should you have any enquiries or need
any assistance, please contact your lo-
cal MEYRA specialized dealer, who has
been trained in our factory in accord-
ance with our guidelines and who can
offer advice, customer service and re-
pairs. We have a dealer network of
approx. 1.500 dealers in germany. In
this way all wishes can be fulfilled.
MAINTENANCE IN-
STRUCTIONS
Before starting out
1. Test brakes for faultless op-
eration
Move the brake release lever (11) to
drive mode. It should now be impossi-
ble to push the wheelchair. If this is not
the case, have the magnetic brakes re-
paired by an authorized specialist work-
shop.
Remark:
Carry out check yourself or with a help-
er (see
Brakes section in Safety Notes
brochure).
2. Check pressure brakes for
wear.
Move brake lever to the side.
Remark:
Carry out test yourself or with a helper.
If you notice any increasing slackness on
the brake lever take the wheelchair to
your authorized specialist workshop im-
mediately for repairs. – Danger of acci-
dents!
3. Check tyre pressures.
Full tyre pressure – drive wheel
Standard pneumatic tyres = 2.5 bar
Ultra smooth running tyres = 6 bar
High-pressure tyres = 8 bar
Indoor sport = 11 bar
Remark:
Do it yourself or with the aid of a helper
Use a tyre gauge or, if you do not have
one, use the "thumb pressure method"
(see safety instructions in the section enti-
tled "Tyres".
