Quickie® SEDEO® LITE
4.0 WARNINGS FOR COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
WARNING!
If you use parts or make changes not authorized by Sunrise Medical it may
create a safety hazard and will void the warranty.
4.1 Armrests
DANGER!
1. Armrests will not bear the weight of the user. 2. Never lift this system
by its armrests. They may come loose or break. 3. When transferring the user
in or out of the seating system, never use the
armrest as a means of support.
4.2 Cushions
WARNING!
1. Standard foam cushions and other body supports are not designed for the
relief of pressure.
2. If you suffer from pressure sores, or if you are at risk that they will
occur, you may need a special seating system or a device that will help
control your posture. · Consult your health care provider to find out if you
need such a device for your comfort and health.
4.3 Fasteners
WARNING!
Many of the screws, bolts, and nuts on this system are special high-strength
fasteners. Use of improper fasteners may cause your system to fail. 1. Only
use fasteners provided by Sunrise Medical. 2. If fasteners become loose,
tighten them immediately. 3. Do not over- or under-tighten fasteners as this
can cause damage to your
system or it’s components. 4. Always tighten to specified torque. Specified
torque values are listed in
Section 9. 5. Do not reuse fasteners.
4.4 Footplate and footrests
DANGER!
1. At the lowest point, footrests should be at least 2-in (51mm) off the
ground. If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on obstacles you can expect to find
in normal use. This may cause the system to stop suddenly and tip forward.
2. To avoid a trip or fall when you transfer: · Ensure your feet do not “hang
up” or get caught in the space between the footrests. · Avoid putting weight
on the footrests, as the system may tip forward. · Remove or swing the
footrests out of the way, if possible.
3. The footrest should always be in the down position when operating the
system.
4. Never lift this system by the footrests. Footrests detach and will not
bear the weight of this system. Lift this system only by non-detachable parts
of the main frame.
4.5 Positioning belts
DANGER!
The positioning belt is predominately used to support your posture. It can
also be used to limit slipping and/or sliding that you might experience when
the system is in motion. The positioning belt is not a transit rated safety
belt and should not be used in the place of a seat belt while being
transported in a motor vehicle. Improper use of positioning belts may cause
severe injury or death. If you use a positioning belt, ensure you follow the
recommendations in this section: 1. Ensure the rider does not slide down in
the seating system seat. If this
occurs, the rider may suffer chest compression or suffocate due to pressure
from the belts.
252852 Rev. C
2. The belts must be snug, but must not be so tight that they interfere with
breathing. You should be able to slide your open hand, flat, between the belt
and the rider.
3. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep the rider from sliding
down in the seat. Consult with the rider’s doctor or health care provider to
find out if the rider needs such a device.
4. Use positioning belts only with a rider who can cooperate. Ensure the
rider or attendant can easily remove the belts in case of emergency.
5. NEVER use positioning belts: a. As a patient restraint. A restraint
requires a doctor’s order. b. On a rider who is comatose or agitated. c. As a
motor vehicle restraint. In an accident or sudden stop the rider may be thrown
from the system. Seating system positioning belts will not prevent this, and
further injury may result from the belts or straps.
If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your system, a fall, tip-over,
or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
4.6 Push handles
DANGER!
1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to propel and control
the system. This helps to prevent a fall or tip-over.
2. Check to ensure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
4.7 Seating systems
DANGER!
1. Use of a seating system not approved by Sunrise Medical may affect or
interfere with other parts of the system.
2. Never change the seating system unless you consult your Sunrise Medical
authorized dealer first.
3. Never raise your seating system to a height of more than 19-in (482mm)
(measuring from the front of the seat pan to the floor) with all actuators in
their home position.
4.8 Upholstery fabric
DANGER!
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of the seat sling and/or seat back as soon as
possible. If you fail to do so, the seat may fail and cause you to fall. Worn
or torn fabrics may increase the potential for a fire hazard.
2. Fabric will deteriorate with age and use. Look for fraying, thin spots, or
stretching of fabric at rivet holes. Replace fabric as required.
3. Be aware that washing may reduce flame retardation qualities of the
fabric.
4.9 Wiring and connectors
WARNING!
Never pull on cables directly. This can result in wires breaking inside the
connector or harness. To remove a plug or connector, always grasp the plug or
connector itself.
4.10 Assignable controls
DANGER!
It is possible to assign a function to an input control (buttons, jacks) to
your seating system. If controls have been assigned to perform a dual or
alternate function, ensure you know what each control operates. Please contact
your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer if you do not receive this information.
Failure to do so may result in damage and/or injury.

4.0 WARNINGS FOR COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
Quickie® SEDEO® LITE
4.11 Power seating safety
4.12 Power leg rest
DANGER!
1. Operation a. While driving this seating system in the elevated or tilted
position use caution. b. Do not attempt to operate any power seating option
while positioned on an incline. c. Do not attempt to operate any power seating
option while this seating system is in motion. d. Do not attempt to operate
the lift or tilt power seating options around children. e. Through programming
it is possible to reverse the direction of all powered seating functions.
Ensure you know which direction your seat is going to move before operating.
Please discuss with your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer which direction the
power seating functions have been programmed.
2. Reduced Speed Driving (Creep and/or C-Me) This power system is designed to
automatically reduce the maximum driving speed to a creep and/or C-Me mode
when certain power seating limits are reached. Depending on the configuration
of the chair there might be multiple creep and/or C-Me speeds. Please discuss
the multiple creep and/or C-Me speeds with your Sunrise Medical authorized
dealer.
Before operating your chair in creep and/or C-Me mode, read all warnings and
guidelines related to this feature. They will help in understanding how to
reduce the risk of a fall or tip-over and how to identify environmental
conditions that could affect your safety when driving while the chair is in
creep and/or C-Me speed. a. When driving indoors or outdoors, in creep mode,
it should only
be used on flat, level, and hardscape surfaces. b. Driving in creep mode
should never be attempted on uneven
terrain like: gravel, grass, bumpy surfaces, uneven sidewalks, or hills. c.
This feature may be equipped with a system that allows the power chair to
drive up to 3 mph when the seat is elevated. This feature is called C-Me. d.
NEVER raise the seat when the chair is being operated in the proximity of any
of the terrain types listed above, or on any uneven surface.
3. Pinch points Pinch points may occur when operating the powered seating
options on this system. Ensure all hands and body parts are clear of all power
seating components that may result in pinch points before operating them.
DANGER!
The power leg rest accessory has a maximum user weight capacity of up to 350
lbs (158 kg) depending on your system configuration. Never exceed this
capacity while operating the powered actuator.
4.13 Lift or Tilt
DANGER!
Pinch Point Avoid putting hands, fingers, clothing items, or letting children
near the seating system when the Tilt/Lift mechanism is in operation.
Lift or Tilt Weight Capacity The powered lift or tilt modular accessory for
this system has a maximum user weight of up to 300 lbs (136 kg), 350 lbs (158
kg) for heavy duty tilt. Never exceed this capacity while operating the
powered actuator.
4.14 C-Me® Lift
DANGER!
The C-ME accessory has a maximum user weight capacity of 300 lbs (136 kg) with
a maximum speed of 3 mph at full lift. Never exceed this capacity while
operating the lift.
WARNING!
Exceeding these weight capacities could lead to injury and/or permanent damage
to the equipment. Note: Exceeding the weight limit will void the warranty.
4.15 Swing away joystick arm
DANGER!
Before adjusting the swing away arm, switch off the controller to avoid
accidental displacement of the joystick which would cause unwanted movement of
your wheelchair. Be aware that the width of your chair may have increased and
you may not be able to go through certain obstacles.
DANGER!
1. Only operate the wheelchair at a low and maneuverable speed when the
parallel swing-away is in use. (Fig. 4.1)
2. When transferring to and from the wheelchair, do not use the remote as a
means of support.
3. Do not hang any items on or over the parallel swing-away remote assembly
as this could damage the swing-away mechanism.
Note: hanging items on/near the joystick may cause unwanted movement and
potential of serious injury or death!
4. Tilting power base with push handles Do not attempt to tilt power wheelchairs by pulling down on the push handles. Power wheelchairs have heavy bases. As such, attempting to tilt a power seating system to traverse obstacles can damage components in the seating system and/or modular actuators.
5. Remain clear during power accessory operation Please stay clear of any powered actuator while the component is in motion. Sunrise Medical power mechanisms move over large ranges of travel. Users should be aware of their surroundings while components are in motion.
6. Maximum user weight Do not exceed the weight capacity for your specific system/seating system configuration. Doing so could result in premature failure or injury.
7. Latch mode Use caution while operating any power seating function in
latched mode. In latch mode, powered seating will not stop until a reverse
command is performed or the end of travel is met. Please consult with your
Sunrise Medical authorized dealer to receive training before using latch mode.
Failure to do so may result in potential serious injury.

4.0 WARNINGS FOR COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
4.16 Transit
DANGER!
Important Transit notes for the chair: 1. If possible and feasible, the rider
should transfer to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
vehicle seat and use the vehicle restraint. 2. If the seating system is used
for transport, it must be used in a forward-facing seating position during
travel in a motor vehicle. 3. The recommended clear zones for wheelchair
seated occupants restrained by both pelvic and
upper-torso belt(s) and only by a pelvic belt are shown in the diagrams (Fig.
4.2 and 4.3) and described below. Frontal Clear Zones (FCZ) need to be larger
when upper torso belt(s) are not used. The Rear Clear Zone of 16-in (40.5 cm)
is measured from the rearmost point on an occupant’s head. The Front Clear
Zone is measured from the front most point of an occupant’s head and is 26-in
(66 cm) with pelvic and upper-torso belt(s) and 37-in (94 cm) with only a
pelvic belt. The frontal clear zone may not be achievable for wheelchair-
seated drivers. 4. The estimated seated height (HHT) from the ground or floor
to the top of the wheelchair-seated occupant’s head ranges from approximately
47-in (119 cm) for a small adult female to about 61-in (155 cm) for a tall
adult male (Fig. 4.3). 5. The rider must not weigh more than the weight
capacity of the wheelchair. 6. Attach WTORS to securement points in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions and SAE J2249. 7. Ensure hip guides are
mounted and are locked in place. 8. Only use Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant
Restraint Systems (WTORS) which meet the requirements of SAE J2249 Recommended
Practice-Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint Systems For Use in Motor
Vehicles. Do not use WTORS designed to rely on the wheelchair structure to
transfer occupant restraint loads to the vehicle. 9. In order to reduce the
potential of injury to vehicle occupants, wheelchair mounted accessories, such
as trays and respiratory equipment, should be removed from the seating and
wheelchair and secured separately. 10. Postural supports and positioning
devices should not be relied on for occupant restraint. 11. Do not alter or
substitute wheelchair frame parts, components, or seating. 12. Sudden stops or
impacts can structurally damage your system. Chairs involved in such incidents
should be replaced.
Important Transit notes for Occupant restraints: 13. Attach occupant
restraints in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and SAE J2249.
14. Both pelvic and upper torso restraint belts must be used to restrain the
occupant to reduce the
possibility of head and chest impacts with the vehicle components and serious
risk of injury to the user and other vehicle occupants (Fig. 4.4) 15. The
upper torso restraint belt (A) should be mounted to the vehicle (B) pillar.
Failure to do so will increase the risk of serious abdominal injuries to the
user (Fig. 4.4). 16. A head restraint suitable for transportation must be
fitted and suitably positioned at all times during transportation. 17. The
pelvic restraint belt (C) must be worn low across the front of the pelvis so
that the angle of the pelvic belt is within the preferred zone of 30 to 75
degrees to the horizontal (Fig. 4.4). 18. A steeper (greater) angle within the
preferred zone is desirable closer to, but not exceeding, 75 degrees (Fig.
4.6). 19. The upper torso restraint belt (A) must fit over the shoulder and
across the chest (Fig. 4.4). 20. Restraint belts must be adjusted as tightly
as possible consistent with user comfort, and should not constrict breathing
(Fig. 4.5).

5.0 SETTING UP THE SEATING SYSTEM
5.0 Setting up the seating system The average wheelchair does not exist. This
is why Sunrise Medical wheelchairs can be pre-set according to specific needs
of the user.
Pre-settings are carried out once, the first time the wheelchair is going to
be used. They must be executed by a qualified specialist, unless explicitly
stated otherwise.
Tool and calibration marks A M5 Allen key is supplied with the seating system.
This can be used by a Sunrise Medical authorized dealer for adjusting all the
seating system settings.

6.0 USING THE SEATING SYSTEM
6.1 Getting in and out of the wheelchair (Transferring)
Sunrise Medical recommends that you consult your health care provider for assistance in developing your personal front or side transfer technique to best suit your needs and avoid any personal injury.
DANGER/WARNING!
To prevent a fall:
1. Ensure controller is switched off during transfers to avoid unintentional movement. If you fail to do so
you may touch the joystick and cause your system to move when you do not expect it.
2. Ensure that the free wheel switch has been set to “drive”. (
General manual)
3. Rotate the front casters so that they point forward.
4. Work with your health care provider to learn all safe methods for transfers.
5. Ensure motor brakes are engaged. This keeps the system from moving when you transfer.
6. It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance and agility. Be aware that there is a
point during every transfer when the seating system seat is not below you.
7. Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself during a transfer.
8. Have someone help you until you are sure you can do a safe transfer on your own.
9. Do not stand on the footrest. Putting your full weight on the footrest may lead to wheelchair damage
and to hazardous situations, including the wheelchair tipping up.
10. Ensure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in the space between the footrests.
6.2 Preparing for forward transfer
DANGER!
Move your wheelchair as close as possible to the seat you intend to transfer
to.
Swing-away leg rests (Fig. 6.1 and 6.2) 1. Fold up the foot supports (A). 2. Swing the calf plates (B) to the side (if applicable).

including lights and indicators,
(if fitted), to ensure that they work correctly. 3. Drive the wheelchair in
each of the drive profiles to ensure the
wheelchair performs as it did before.
General weekly checks 1. Check tires for proper inflation level (if
applicable). 2. Check frame and base for foreign objects and/or obstructions.
3. Ensure the knobs that attach the seat frame to the front of the base are
not loose.

WARNING!
1. If you are in any doubt about the performance requirements of your
wheelchair contact your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer.
2. After performing any maintenance or repairs on the wheelchair you must
ensure that it is functioning correctly before it is used.
3. A complete inspection, safety check, and service should be made by a
Sunrise Medical authorized dealer at least once per year.
4. All fasteners must be replaced like for like using the correct length,
tensile strength, and materials.
5. When replacing self-locking nuts, or nuts/studs secured with a thread
locking solution, ensure that a suitable thread locking solution is reapplied
to the new fastener.
6. Check all Velcro© fastening straps for correct adhesion when pressed
together.
7. Ensure that any contamination, such as fluff, hair, etc is removed from
the Velcro© straps. Such contamination may affect adhesion.
8. Do not reuse fasteners.
9.2 Cleaning your seating system The wheelchair should be wiped over once per
week with a slightly damp, not wet, cloth and any fluff or dust that has
accumulated around the actuators should be blown or dusted away.
CAUTION!
Ensure that you dry all parts of your wheelchair if it becomes wet or damp
after cleaning or if it is used in a wet or damp environment.
DANGER!
It is important that should the wheelchair be used by more than one person it
is cleaned thoroughly to ensure there is no cross contamination.
9.2.1 Cleaning and inspection of your seating
WARNING!
Tears, dents, wearing, or slackening of upholstery particularly near to metal
could result in poor posture or lower levels of comfort and pressure relief.
Cleaning instructions for seating Wash all parts of the covers with a gentle-
wash detergent at 100°F (38°C). You can spin-dry the covers, but do not dry
them in a dryer. Remove all parts of the covers independently of each other
and wash them separately. Take out the foam inlays prior to washing and close
the Velcro© fasteners!
Where upholstery cannot be removed, clean regularly to prevent build up or
soiling. Clean with a damp, soapy cloth. Disinfectants may be used in dilution
as specified by their manufacturer. Ensure surfaces are rinsed well with clean
water and dried thoroughly.

9.0 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
9.3 Hygiene measures when being re-used Prior to the wheelchair being reused,
it must be carefully prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the
user must be treated with a disinfectant.
To do this, you must use a suitable disinfectant for rapid alcohol-based
disinfection of medical products and medical devices.
Please take into account the manufacturer’s instructions for the disinfectant
you are using.
CAUTION!
1. Do not use solvents, bleaches, abrasives, synthetic detergents, wax
polishes, or aerosols.
2. Disinfectants may be used in dilution as specified by the manufacturer. 3.
Ensure surfaces are rinsed with clean water and dried thoroughly.
9.4 General cleaning instructions
CAUTION!
1. You should remove stains on your seat as soon as possible. 2. After a long
period of use, you should clean the cover of your seat with
a standard commercially available dry foam cleaning agent. 3. You should
always clean the whole surface and not just individual spots
in order to avoid unattractive edges. The longer you wait the more difficult
it will be to remove them. 4. Avoid powerful rubbing with aqueous solutions.
This will roughen up cover fabric. 5. Dirt stains (eg. beer, blood, cola, red
wine, etc.) are best removed with the dry foam cleaning agents or with a mild
action detergent. 6. Follow the respective instructions of use when treating
the covers. 7. The covers should be allowed to dry for at least 48 hours after
cleaning with foam cleaning agents. 8. For grease stains (eg. ball point pen,
lipstick, chewing gum, etc.) use a proprietary stain remover. Carefully rub
the soiled location on the surface only with a clean cloth impregnated with
the stain remover. 9. Use only a very small quantity of stain remover. 10.
Test a small, inconspicuous area first.
11. The upholstery material must not be saturated, since the stain remover
might then change it.
12. Do not use a hose or a pressure washer to clean your chair.
WARNING!
1. Always read the label on any commercial or domestic cleaning substances.
2. Always follow the instructions carefully.
9.5 Cleaning accessories 1. All parts/accessories such as swing away trays
should be cleaned with a
damp cloth. 2. All lateral supports, headrest, armrests, side guards, calf
pads, lap belts,
and knee pads should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
9.6 Cleaning controls Should the controller of your wheelchair become soiled
or dirty, it can be wiped with a damp cloth with a dilute disinfectant until
clean.
DANGER!
1. This is important should the wheelchair be used by more than one person to
ensure there is no cross contamination.
2. Ensure that wafer boards, joysticks (all variants), head arrays, and
switches (all variants) are cleaned with a mild disinfectant and a cleaning
cloth to avoid any cross contamination possibilities. Following removal from
chair regularly wash the sip and puff mouth piece and tube to maintain
cleanliness and functionality.
3. Ensure control is switched off before cleaning.
9.7 Storage To keep the upholstery and other parts of the wheelchair in good
condition, store in a dry environment as close to room temperature as
possible.
CAUTION!
1. Never store your wheelchair in direct sunlight or in a damp/outdoor
environment.
2. Direct sunlight might bleach upholstery/plastic parts and cause metal
parts to become hot.
