INTRODUCTION
The MEYRA Folding Wheelchair model
3.350 -X1, 3.351-X2 and 3.352-X3 fulfil the
wish for mobility and more independence by
way of a new styling of the proven MEYRA
technology. Benefit from the design advantag-
es of your wheelchair, both indoors (e.g. at
home, at your place of work) and outdoors.
This operating manual will give you all the in-
formation you require – clearly written and
with illustrations.
!Attention:
Be sure to read and understand this operat-
ing manual and the brochure “Safety infor-
mation – Mechanical wheelchairs” before
your first drive.
• Children must read this Operating Manual
and the ‘Safety information – mechanical
wheelchairs’ brochure together with a par-
ent or supervising person before their first
drive and thereafter observe the contents!
ACCEPTANCE
All MEYRA products are checked for faults in
the factory and packed in special boxes.
☞Note:
However, we request that you check the
vehicle for possible transport damage im-
mediately on receipt – preferably in the
presence of the carrier.
Please arrange the following if you believe
damage occurred during transport:
a) Draw up a DAMAGE REPORT – the carrier
is required to do this.
b) Draw up a LETTER OF SUBROGATION –
you assign to the supplier all claims result-
ing from this damage.
c) Send back the BILL OF LADING, the DAM-
AGE REPORT and the LETTER OF SUBRO-
GATION to us.
We are unable to accept any claims for com-
pensation if you fail to observe these instruc-
tions or notify us of damage after the goods
have been accepted.
ASSEMBLY
The specialist workshop delivers your wheel-
chair to you in an operative state and adapt-
ed to your requirements.

6
SPECIFICATIONS/ UTILISA-
TION
The wheelchair is designed for universal use
and therefore all-round wheelchair for indoor
use (e.g. at home or at the place of work), for
recreational outdoor activities on firm surfaces
and as a travel companion.
The optimised crossbrace design offers you
both a small folded size and a rigid frame,
i.e. high stability.
It serves exclusively for the transportation of a
person on the seat and not as ladder or as a
means of pulling or transporting items, or simi-
lar.
!Attention:
Please observe the brochure “Safety Infor-
mation – Mechanical Wheelchairs” for your
own safety!
DRIVING
The first adjustment of the driving features of
your wheelchair to suit your personal needs
will be possible at once, following a brief “in-
troductory “ phase of driver training.
!Attention:
Drive with extreme caution during these first
trips.
Please follow all instructions in the section
“Driver Training” in the brochure “Safety In-
formation – Mechanical Wheelchairs”!
You will be confronted with new situations dur-
ing each trip and will have to cope with
these, as is the case in all areas of life, e.g.
family, career, leisure pursuits. Utilise the fold-
ing wheelchair’s adaptability to the needs of
the user. This offers you outstanding driving
comfort and high operational safety.
This operating manual will give you all neces-
sary information.
!Attention:
Please follow all instructions in the brochure
“Safety information – Mechanical wheel-
chairs”.
• Avoid sudden change to the opposite direc-
tion, (e.g. change to forward drive after
driving backwards without any movement of
the steering wheel). – This can lead to acci-
dents due to full braking while steering
wheels are moving inwards!
• In order to raise the backward tilting stabili-
ty supporting wheels can be mounted later
on.
• When propelling the wheelchair over the
tyre there is a risk of injury in the area of the
pressure brake.

BRAKE
The wheelchair is fitted with a pressure brake
(fig. 2). It works directly on the tyres.
Pushing the brake levers to the end stop locks
the brakes and prevents your wheelchair from
being pushed (parking brakes).
Benefits:
– Controlled braking of the driving speed
(service brake).
– Secures the wheelchair against accidental
rolling.
!Attention:
Please observe the Maintenance Instructions
as well as instructions in the section “Gener-
al Safety Information” and “Brakes” in the
brochure “Safety information - Mechanical
wheelchairs”!
• Any decrease in braking performance must
be repaired immediately by your specialist
workshop.
• The brake performance decreases when:
– tyre profile is worn
– tyre pressure is too low
– tyres are wet
– pressure brake is loose. PRESSURE BRAKE
Service brake
Gently and evenly press both brake levers (5)
slightly forwards. This way, you brake the
wheelchair in a measured way (fig. 2).
Locking the pressure brakes
Push both brake levers (5) forward as far as
they will go (fig. 3).
!Attention:
If only one brake is applied when the wheel-
chair is driving down an incline, the free-run-
ning wheel will continue moving around the
locked wheel. Depending on the gradient
of the road, this can lead to the wheelchair
overturning to the side.
Releasing the pressure brakes
Pull both brake levers (5) back, (fig. 2).

10
Adjusting the pressure brakes
The pressure brakes must be readjusted after
each refitting of a drive wheel.
Pre-setting of the pressure brakes:
– Loosen the clamping screws (1, fig. 4) of
one pressure brake.
– Pre-set the pressure brake – Slide the brake
bolt of the non-activated pressure brake to a
point approx. 10mm in front of the drive
wheel.
– Tighten clamping screws (1, fig. 4) secure-
ly.
– Adjust opposite pressure brakes as de-
scribed.
Fine adjustment of the pressure brakes:
– Loosen the centre clamping screw (2, fig.
4.1) of the respective pressure brake.
– Equally adjust both pressure brakes, taking
into account
• tyres of the driving wheels and
• tyre pressure and
• the weight of the person
adjust evenly. – Danger of accidents
caused by one sided braking effect!
– Tighten the centre clamping screw (2, fig.
4.1) of the respective pressure brake.
☞Note:
You will find the air pressure values for the
tyres for your wheelchair in the Technical
Specifications or the information given for
both sides of the wheels.
!Attention:
It should not be possible to push the wheel-
chair forward when both brakes are locked.

CALF BELT
The leg strap (6) prevents the feet from slipping
from the foot board. It is lead around the front
frame tubes (fig. 5) and adapted to the correct
length with the velcro strap.
!Attention:
Never drive without leg strap (except when
shuffling)!
