Setting up the wheelchair

Sunrise Medical wheelchairs can be adjusted according to specific needs of the user.
In this, we make a distinction between wheelchair settings and wheelchair seating adjustment options. Settings are carried out once, the first time the wheelchair is going to be used.
They must be executed by qualified specialist, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Seating adjustment options can be carried out by the user. These adjustment options do not require the use of tools.

4.1 Seating system
The extensive settings with respect to the seating system allow for optimum support of the body (& Seating system). The following setting options are possible:

1. Seat depth and seat width
2. Backrest angle
3. Armrest height/width
4. Lower leg length
5. Angle of the footplate
6. Legrest angle

4.2 Seat height
Depending on the specific circumstances of the user of the wheelchair the seat height can be set. Every optional seat height lies within the rated slope as described in EN12184 (2014) Class B. Lowering the seat height has a positive influence on the (dynamic) stability.

WARNING!
Increasing the seat height has a negative effect on dynamic stability.
4.3 Centre of gravity
DANGER!
Adjusting the centre of gravity on a powered wheelchair is both physically demanding and safety critical. Sunrise Medical recommends that this adjustment is only performed by a service agent/dealer approved by Sunrise Medical.

4.4 Controller height and depth
( Seating system).
4.5 Control system programme
This wheelchair is equipped with a control system that can be programmed by adjusting settings within the system. This is a specialized job that needs training and can only be adjusted with professional software. The end user is not allowed to adjust these settings.
DANGER!
The incorrect setting of the parameters for the control system may result in very dangerous situations.
Settings must be made by qualified specialists.

4.6 Lap strap / seating positioning belt
DANGER! / WARNING!

• This product is only to be used to position a single person in a wheelchair.
• Lap straps are not suitable for transit purposes, approved occupant restraint systems must be used.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in severe injury or death.
• Ensure that the carer or attendant is trained in the correct operation of the belts.
• Untrained carers or attendants may lead to delays, if an emergency situation occurs.

Mounting a lapstrap / seating positioning belt

1. Attach (A) to the seating frame using a screw on the left and on the right. (Fig 4.2)

Positioning an person with a lapstrap

• Adjust the lap strap to suit, leaving no more than a hand’s width gap for comfort and safety (Fig 4.3).
• The hand clearance should be with the lap strap under normal tension and not allow large gaps or loops.
• Generally, the lap strap should be fixed so that the straps sit at an angle of approximately 45° (Fig. 4.4), and when correctly adjusted should not allow user to slip down in the seat.
• Place the strap loosely across the seat with the opening end of the buckle facing to the right for a left-handed person and to the left for a right-handed person. Pass the other ends of the strap through the gap between the backrest posts and the backrest.

DANGER! / WARNING!

• Always make sure that the lap strap is correctly secured and adjusted prior to use.
• If a strap is too loose it could cause the user to slip down and cause serious injury.
• Check lap strap and securing components at regular intervals for any signs of fray or damage. Replace if necessary.
• When servicing, check for correct operation of the release buckle and for any signs of wear on the material or plastic brackets.
• Regular Checks/Activities:
• As with all positioning components, there is a need for corrective adjustments as the person changes their seating position over time.
• Check the belts regularly for correct fitting, to ensure the safety and comfort of the user.

Using the wheelchair

DANGER!

• Be aware that you may need to adjust the controller settings of your system.
• Consult your authorised dealer to adjust the control settings immediately if you notice any change in your ability to:

1. Control the joystick
2. Hold your torso erect
3. Avoid running into objects.

5.1 Checking wheelchair before use
Perform the following daily check routine before driving:

CAUTION!
Checking wheels & tyres

• Are the tyres sufficiently inflated (Chapter 8.2).

Checking batteries

• Before using your vehicle for the very first time, please charge your batteries for a period of 24 hours.

• Are the batteries sufficiently charged? The green lights on the battery indicator must be on. Controller
  Checking lights and indicators

• Ensure that the lights and indicators are functioning correctly and lens are clean before going outdoors at night. Controller

Checking remote

• With the control system switched off, check that the joystick is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the centre when you push and release it.

Checking free wheel lever

• Ensure that the free wheel lever has been set to ‘drive’.
  (Chapter 5.8).

Checking seating

• Ensure that all the cushions are in place.
• Make sure that the backrest is correctly fitted and adjusted.
• Visually inspect the wheelchair to make sure the leg rests, armrests etc. are correctly positioned and attached to the wheelchair and all fasteners are sufficiently tightened.
• Ensure that the seat interface knobs are tight and secure.

Checking clothing on potential entrapment

• When operating the wheelchair, ensure that your clothing does not hamper the wheelchair (i.e. too long). Before use, always check if your clothing or accessories do not come into contact with the wheels or and other moving and/or rotating parts in which they could become entangled.

Checking weather conditions

• In winter, batteries have a reduced capacity. During a period of light frost, the capacity is roughly 75% of the normal capacity. At temperatures below -5˚C this will be roughly 50%.
  This will reduce your range of action.

5.2 Making a transfer
Sunrise Medical recommend that you consult your healthcare professional for assistance in developing your personal front or side transfer technique to best suit your needs and avoid any personal injury.

Preparing for a forward transfer:
DANGER!
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.
For further instructions and warnings about making a transfer, please refer to Seating system.

5.3 Driving the wheelchair
WARNING

• The user of the wheelchair is at all times completely responsible for complying with the applicable local safety regulations and guidelines.
  Powered wheelchairs are driven by means of a controller.

There is a separate user manual for the controller and this was included with this wheelchair ( Controller).

1. Switch on the controller.
2. Set the maximum speed limit.
3. Move the joystick in the direction in which you would like to go.
4. Moving the joystick even further forwards will cause the wheelchair to drive faster.

Rear view mirror
WARNING

• To avoid injury to people around you please be aware that the mirror protrudes outside the space envelope of the chair and could cause injury to someone when driving past.
• The mirror must be used on models at speeds over 6 kph on roads according to local law.
• Always make sure that when using the mirror that it is clean and unbroken so that it does not impair your visibility.

Road use
Please show the utmost consideration for the other traffic on the road.

DANGER!

• Remember that the last thing a car or lorry driver expects to see is a wheelchair backing off the kerb into the road.
• If in any doubt, do not risk crossing the road until you are certain that it is safe.
• Always cross the road as quickly as possible, there may be other traffic.
• Do not drive over anything that could cause punctures in the tyres.
• Ensure that there are no objects in your path that could possibly become lodged in your chair mechanism or in the spokes of the rear wheels. This could cause the chair to come to a sudden stop.
• Riding over drains or grids could cause the wheelchair castors or wheels to become lodged, causing the chair to come to a sudden stop.

Adverse conditions:
Please be aware that when driving your wheelchair in adverse conditions, e.g. on wet grass, mud, ice, snow or other slippery surfaces, you may experience a reduction in the grip and traction of your wheelchair.

DANGER!

• We recommend you take extra precautions in these conditions, particularly on hills and slopes; your wheelchair could become unstable or skid causing possible injury.
• When you are using a Powered Wheelchair take extra care with loose or long items of clothing. Moving parts, such as wheels, can be potentially dangerous or even fatal if
  clothing becomes entangled.

NOTE :
Extreme variances in temperature may trigger the self protect mechanism in the control system. If this occurs the control system will temporarily shut down to prevent damage to the electronics or the wheelchair.

5.4 Curves
DANGER!
Full speed turns should not be attempted. If you need to turn sharply you must reduce your speed with the joystick or speed setting. This is particularly important when travelling across or down a slope. Disregarding this advice could lead to your wheelchair tipping over.
WARNING!
Use indicators when changing direction.

5.5 Braking & Emergency stop
There are three ways to stop your wheelchair:

• Simplest and safest way to stop the wheelchair is to release the joystick. This will bring the chair to a halt in a controlled manner.
• Pulling back the joystick will break the chair abruptly with a fast stop.
• Switching the control system off whilst the chair is in motion will also bring the chair to a halt.

WARNING!

• Switching the control system off is only to be used in an emergency situation as the stopping action is very abrupt.
• Never try to stop or slow this seating system with the wheel locks (if applicable). Wheel locks are designed to pre-vent the system from moving when stopped. They are not brakes.

5.6 Driving on a slope
Your wheelchair has been designed and tested to allow its use on slopes or gradients of at least 6°.
Q400 M: 6° (10.5%) in standard configuration.
Q400 F: 6° (10.5%) in standard configuration.
Q400 R: 6° (10.5%) in standard configuration.
However, you have the option of adjusting your position with the seat elevator, tilt in space, powered recline or powered centre mount leg rest or a combination of these options.

DANGER!

• Elevating, tilting and leg rest adjustments can affect the wheelchair centre of gravity. Under certain conditions this might cause instability that could lead to unintentional
  tipping. It may be necessary to carry out a risk assessment if the wheelchair is adjusted to extremes.

• Stopping distances on slopes can be significantly longer than on level ground.

DANGER!

• In certain circumstances your wheelchair could become unstable.
• Before attempting to climb or descend a slope or a kerb, caution should be taken when using weight shift options (e.g. powered , recline or standing), of the seat and/or your body for a counter balance weight.
• To improve stability lean forward when driving uphill, with the seat and back in an upright position.
• Alternatively sit in an upright position when travelling in a forward, downhill direction or and/or recline the seat backwards.
• We strongly recommend that you return the seat and back to their home positions before attempting to climb or descend a slope. Failure to do this may cause the wheelchair to become unstable.
• If you are in any doubt about the capabilities of your wheelchair on a slope then do not attempt to drive up or down the slope/kerb; try to find an alternative route.

Gradients: ascents:
WARNING!

• When going uphill, keep the chair moving.
• Steer by carefully moving the joystick forwards making slight Left and Right adjustments as you go.
• If you have stopped on a hill, you should start slowly.
• If necessary lean forward.

Gradients: descents:
On descents, it is important not to let the wheelchair accelerate beyond its normal level of ground speed.

DANGER!

• Proceed slowly down steep descents, (below the speed of 5kph) and stop if you fell anxious.
• If the chair picks up speed, centre the joystick to its home position to allow it to slow, or to stop.
• Restart slowly and do not allow the speed to increase above what you are comfortable with.

NOTE:

• The controller has the benefit of a logic system that will help compensate when driving along a camber or up a hill. This is an added safety feature on your wheelchair. In addition of course, you may control the wheelchair speed by using the speed control.

5.7 Obstacles & kerbs:
DANGER!

• Never descend a kerb backwards.
• Do not attempt to climb or descend a series of steps or use on escalators. It is unsafe to do so and could cause personal injury or damage the chair. This wheelchair has only been designed to climb a single step or kerb.
• We recommend that users with upper trunk instability wear restraint systems to keep the upright body position during descending or ascending ramps, kerbs or obstacles.

Kerb climbing:
Always approach a kerb at 90° (Fig. 5.1).

• Approach the kerb or step, head on at a 90° angle.
• Drive forwards slowly and steadily.
• Stop the chair as soon as the castor wheels touch the kerb.
• Apply sufficient power to the motors to lift the front of the chair up onto the kerb or step and then apply slightly more power until the drive wheels climb the kerb or step smoothly.
• As far as possible, keep the joystick in the straight forward position.

The maximum obstacle or kerb climbing height is:

• Q400 M: 75 mm.
• Q400 F: 70 mm.
• Q400 R: 80 mm.
• Q400 R + kerbclimber: 100 mm.

The approach speed and process can vary depending on your wheelchair drive type and castor wheel choice.

Dismounting the kerb.
DANGER!
Move the chair slowly and carefully in a forward direction until both front wheels are on the edge of the kerb, again in a 90° position to the kerb.
Drive as slowly as possible off the kerb with the drive wheels.
Don’t stop the chair during decent of the kerb. You will feel more secure if you can lean backwards, but if you can’t, don’t worry, the wheelchair is stable. As long as you stay within its limitation, you will be quite safe.
All powered seating options need to be in home position. Your powered leg rests may need to be adjusted to give enough clearance to mount or dismount the kerb.
We recommend to use the lap strap to feel more secure during declining the kerb. For extra protection we recommend to fit every chair with the leg rests.

WARNING!
In a RWD chair it may be preferrable to dismount the kerb in the reverse direction. Though it is advised to do so slowly and to be aware of traffic and your surrounding environment. It is also recommended to have assistance whilst undertaking this procedure. Only kerbs less than the recommended 80mm should be dismounted.

5.8 Pushing the wheelchair
The wheelchair can be moved by pushing. In order to do so, the motors must be disengaged using a freewheel lever. This feature was developed for the attendants of wheelchair users and also functions as an emergency freewheel lever.
The freewheel lever has 2 positions

1. For driving the wheelchair. (Fig. 5.2). ‘Drive’ position: Turn the lever so that the lever at the drive wheel side is pointing upwards.
2. For disengaging the motors. (Fig. 5.3 – Fig.5.4). ‘Push’ position: Turn the lever so that the lever at the drive wheel side is pointing downwards.

DANGER!

• The free wheel lever should only be operated by the attendant and never by the user.
• A user may never be left unattended while the wheelchair is in ‘push’.
• Never set the lever to the ‘push’ position on a slope! When the freewheel lever is set to ‘push’, the automatic parking brake is deactivated. This makes it possible for the wheelchair to roll down the slope.
• The automatic parking brake only works is the lever is set to ‘drive’ position.
• When the wheelchair is no longer being pushed, the freewheel lever should be set to ‘drive’ immediately.
• To manually push the system you must release the motor brakes.
• Do not engage or disengage motor brakes unless power to the system is off.
• Make sure you have full control over the system when you release the motor brakes. When you do so the system will not have brakes.
• Make sure the system is on level ground before you release the motor brakes.
• Propel this system by the push handles only. They provide secure points for you to hold the rear of the system to prevent a fall or tip-over.
• Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.

5.9 (Powered) seating options
The wheelchair can be equipped by the following mechanical and/or powered options to adjust your seating position. These options can be operated by the user without the use of tools.
Powered adjustable seating options (Fig. 5.6 – Fig. 5.8).

|
---|---

How to operate these powered seating options can be found in

Controller + Seating:

1. Powered tilt function
2. Powered seat elevator
3. Powered backrest recline
4. Powered elevating leg rests

The wheelchair may be equipped with a feature that allows the powerchair to be driven up to 4.5kph/3mph when the seat is elevated, this feature is called C-Me. For guidance with user weight limits and recommended chair configuration when using C-Me, please refer to your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer.

DANGER!

• Use of the powered adjustable seating options may influence the stability of the wheelchair.

• Only use the powered adjustable seating options when the wheelchair is on a flat surface! Do Not attempt to operate any power seating option while positioned on an incline.

• Please stay clear of any powered actuator while the component is in motion. Sunrise power mechanisms move over large ranges of travel.
  Users should be aware of their surroundings while components are in motion.

• While driving this seating system in the reclined, elevated, or tilted position use caution.

• Do Not attempt to operate any power seating option while this seating system is in motion.

• Do not attempt to operate the lift or tilt power seating options around children.

• 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 be aware that the lift/tilt modules present a trap hazard. Make sure that during operation the lift/tilt modules are free from all clothing, hands, feet and other extremities, to prevent injury.

• Do not drive on ramps or slopes with the seating in the elevated position. Before attempting to climb or descend a slope, return the wheelchair to a standard seated drive position, with the backrest upright.

• 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.

• 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.

1. When driving indoors or outdoors, in creep mode, it should only be used on flat, level, and hardscape surfaces.
2. Driving in creep mode should never be attempted on uneven terrain like: gravel, grass, bumpy surfaces, uneven pavement, or hills.
3. 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.

Batteries, charging and range

6.1 Batteries
Batteries are the power source for almost all of the modern mobility products available today. The design of batteries used in mobility products is significantly different to the batteries used to start a car for example. Car batteries are designed to release a large amount of power over a short period of time, whilst mobility batteries (commonly called deep cycle batteries) release their power evenly, over a long period of time. Therefore, due to the lower production volumes and increased technological requirements, mobility batteries are typically more expensive.
Commonly two 12 volt batteries are used together in a mobility product, giving a total voltage of 24 volts. The size of the battery (e.g. its available power) is expressed in amps
per hour e.g. 70amp/hr. The higher the number, the bigger the battery size, weight and, potentially, the greater the distance you can travel. Sunrise Medical only fit as standard
maintenance free batteries into these types of wheelchairs.
This type of battery uses a method of carrying the electrolyte commonly referred to as ‘gel’, that is held within the battery case. As the name implies, no maintenance is required other than regular charging. You can safely transport this type of battery without fear of acid spilling. Furthermore, they are approved for transportation on aircraft, trains and ships.

CAUTION!

• Do not fit car batteries to the wheelchair. Fit only deep cycle, maintenance free mobility batteries.
• When the batteries are worn out, take them to the local authority disposal point.
• Do not expose any part of the battery to direct heat (i.e. naked flame, gas fire).
• Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts that may cause an explosion. Also take off all personal metal effects and dangling objects when working on the battery.
• Return the batteries back to Sunrise Medical or directly to the battery manufacturer for recycling, when they no longer hold charge.
• The battery terminals need to be checked regularly for signs of corrosion. If any corrosion is apparent, then clean the terminals completely and re-grease the terminal using Vaseline petroleum jelly, not ordinary grease. Ensure that the terminal nut and bolt, cable clip and exposed cable are completely covered with jelly.

DANGER!

• Do not expose any part of the battery to direct heat (i.e. naked flame, gas fire).
• Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts that may cause an explosion. Also take off all personal metal effects and dangling objects when working on the battery.

DANGER!

• Do not, under any circumstances, tamper with the batteries.
  If in any doubt contact your local Sunrise Medical authorised dealer.

• Avoid contact with acid on damaged sealed type batteries or wet batteries.

• Battery acid can cause burns to the skin as well as damage to floors, furniture and your wheelchair.

• If battery acid comes into contact with the skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.

• If battery acid comes into contact with the eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical attention immediately.

• Acid spills can be neutralised with baking soda and water.

• Take care to keep batteries upright at all times, especially when transporting your wheelchair.

Safety cut-outs
In the event of a short circuit there are several safety systems built into your wheelchair to safeguard your electrical circuits, (Fig. 6.1).

1. Fusible 100A links are connected into the battery harnesses to protect the batteries and wiring.
2. 15A auxiliary power circuit fuses for auxiliary modules and seating power supply.
   To replace them contact your Sunrise Medical authorised dealer, who will also diagnose the original fault.

6.2 Charging batteries:
Battery charger: Please read the owner’s manual with the charger supplied carefully. The general procedures and effects for the interference with the chair and the batteries remain valid.

Battery care plan
Below is set out a battery care plan for maintenance free batteries. This has been agreed between Sunrise Medical and the battery manufacturers, to enable you to get the best
out of your batteries. If a different care plan is followed, this may result in lower than expected performance from your mobility vehicle.

• Only use an approved Sunrise Medical charger compatible with the vehicle to be charged.

• Charge your batteries every night, regardless of the amount of use your mobility device has had during the day.

• Do not interrupt the charging cycle.

• If your mobility device is not required for use, it should remain connected to the charger until required. This will not damage your batteries, as long as the mains socket/plug is left switched on. Turning the mains socket/plug off, but leaving the mains cable plugged in will eventually deplete your battery charge.

• If you leave your vehicle for an extended period (more than 15 days) charge the batteries fully and then disconnect the main battery lead.

• Failure to allow for recharge will damage the batteries and can lead to shortened distances and premature failure.

• Do not top up the charge of your batteries during the day.
  Wait until the evening for a full overnight charge.

• As a general rule, maintenance free batteries take longer to fully charge than “wet” lead acid batteries.

• The battery terminals need to be checked regularly for signs of corrosion. If any corrosion is apparent, then clean the terminals completely and re-grease the terminal using Vaseline petroleum jelly, not ordinary grease. Ensure that the terminal nut and bolt, cable clip and exposed cable are completely covered with jelly.

• Following all the points above should result in a healthier battery, greater range for the vehicle user and a longer life for your batteries.

Connecting the battery charger
Procedure for connecting the charger and charging

• Switch off the wheelchair controller. Controller:

• Connect the battery charger round output plug to the charging socket on the front of the joystick module.
  Controller:

• Connect the charger to the mains supply by means of the mains plug and switch on.
  For more information about the charger operation, consult the instructions provided with the charger. BATTERY CHARGER.
  Depending on how depleted the batteries are, it may take up to 12 hours to fully charge the batteries again.

DANGER!

• Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

• Do not rest a battery on top of the charger.

• Do not stand the charger on a carpet or other soft surface.
  Always place it on a hard flat surface.

• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to a qualified technician.

• Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged; gases from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.

• Never charge a frozen battery. A fully charged battery will rarely freeze but the electrolyte of a discharged battery can freeze at -9° Centigrade. Any battery that is suspected of being frozen should be thawed completely before charging.

• Never sit with the charger on your lap when charging your batteries

• The charger casing will get hot during its normal operation.

• Do not disassemble charger; only have it repaired by the manufacturers. Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

• To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off the controls will not reduce the risk.

• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or charger.

• You should not charge your batteries in outdoor conditions.

• It is advised to use a smoke detector in the charging area.

Battery Charger
The external charger has been designed to charge two 12V
Gel type batteries connected in series (= 24 V).
The chargers have features which prevent hazards or accidents occurring as a result of connecting batteries the wrong way round, overheating caused by fault conditions or
attempting to charge wrong voltage batteries.
The majority of charger sizes are electrically double insulated and no earth connection is required. Some larger sizes may be electrically earthed and this will be clearly stated on the label.
If your charger has been specified for use in Continental Europe it will contain a European two pin plug which does not have a fuse. In this case the fuse is located in the fascia panel of the charger.

Country specific information: UK
The 3 pin UK mains input plug contains a replaceable fuse.
The rating of this fuse is shown on the charger label.

DANGER!

• As with all mains powered electrical equipment, always replace blown fuses with the same type and size of fuse as specified.
• Fitting of different fuses can result in an increased fire risk, damage to the charger or failure of the charger to operate properly.

6.3 The range of your vehicle:
Please refer to the specification tables at the back of this manual for Energy Consumption, (Maximum Range), information.
Most manufacturers of mobility products state the range of their vehicles either in the sales literature or within the Owner’s Manual. The range stated sometimes differs from manufacturer to manufacturer even though the battery size is the same.
Sunrise Medical measure the range of their vehicles in a consistent and uniform manner, but variances still occur due to motor efficiencies and overall product load weight.
The range figures are calculated to I.S.O. Standard 7176. Part 4:
Wheelchair Energy Consumption Theoretical Range.
This test is carried out in controlled conditions with new, fully charged batteries, on a level test surface and a user weight of 100 kg. The range figures stated should be seen as a theoretical maximum and could be reduced if any single, or combination, of the following circumstances occur:

• User weight heavier than 100 kg.
• Batteries whose age and condition are less than perfect.
• The terrain is difficult e.g. very hilly, sloping, muddy ground, gravel, grass, snow and ice.
• The vehicle climbs kerbs regularly.
• The ambient temperature is very hot or very cold.
• Incorrect tyre pressures in one or more tyres.
• Lots of start/stop driving.
• Also thick pile carpets within the home can affect range.
• Use of additional power consumption options (e.g. light, actuators, etc.)
  The battery sizes available on each Sunrise Medical product should give sufficient range to cope with the majority of customer’s lifestyles.

6.4 Battery warranty:
Battery warranties are subject to periods set by the manufacturers. However, most of these warranties are subject to a wear and tear clause, and if you genuinely wear out
your batteries in 6 months, it will not be possible to obtain a replacement under warranty.
6.5 Replacing batteries
The wheelchair uses two 12V non-spillable ‘dry’ gel batteries in series, these batteries are fully sealed and require no maintenance.
Replacing and servicing batteries is to be done by qualified specialist.
In case of malfunctioning batteries, contact your local dealer.

DANGER!

• Do not attempt to replace or service batteries without the supervision of trained and qualified personnel.

6.6 Disconnecting batteries for air transport.
The batteries are contained within the drive unit located under the battery shroud.

To disconnect the batteries on Mid-wheel drive:

• Release the two handle screws under the front of the seat frame, that connect the seat frame with the seat module interface, (Fig.6.2).
• Flip the seat frame backwards (Fig.6.3).
• Ensure the seat is secured with the seat stay in place, before letting go, (Fig.6.4.1 – A). You must make sure that the red seat stay is fully latched onto the pin.
• Lift off the battery box lid, (Fig. 6.4.1 – B).
• Disconnect the 2 pin Anderson connectors from each battery (Fig.6.5).To reconnect the batteries reverse the above procedure.

To disconnect the batteries on Front and Rear-wheel drive:

• Release the two handle screws under the mid of the seat frame, that connect the seat frame with the seat module interface (step 1) and release the lever (step 2) (Fig.6.6.1 – 6.6.2).
• Flip the seat frame backwards (Fig.6.3).
• Ensure the seat is secured with the seat stay in place, before letting go, (Fig.6.7 Front – Fig.6.8 Rear).
• Once secured (Fig.6.4.2 – A), lift off the battery box lid, (Fig. 6.4.2 – B). You must make sure that the red seat stay is fully latched onto the pin.
• Disconnect the 2 pin Anderson connectors from each battery (Fig.6.5).
  To reconnect the batteries reverse the above procedure.

WARNING:
Removing the batteries can lead to a change of the center point of gravity. The result may be that the chair flips backwards without the weight of the batteries. Sunrise advises to:

• Putting an obstacle behind the chair to secure the situation.
  This can be a chest, or a chair, or etc.

• Try to lift the battery slightly first to check the effect of taking out the weight.

Transportation

7.1 Transport of the wheelchair in a car
Getting in and out of the vehicle
DANGER!

• Confirm that the vehicle is suitably equipped to transport a passenger in a wheelchair, and ensure the method of access/egress is suitable for your wheelchair type. The vehicle should have the floor strength to take the combined weight of the occupant, the wheelchair and accessories.
• Use a ramp (or lifting device) suitable for the entire weight of the wheelchair (including user) for entering the vehicle.
• The wheelchair should be secured in a forward facing direction. This wheelchair is approved for use in cars and meets the requirements for forward facing transport and
  head on collisions. The wheelchair has not been tested for other positions in a vehicle (Fig. 7.1).

CAUTION!

• Sufficient space should be available around the wheelchair to enable clear access to attach, tighten and release the wheelchair and occupant tie down restraints and safety belts.
• Ease of access to, and manoeuvrability in, motor vehicles can be significantly affected by wheelchair size and turning radius; smaller wheelchairs and/ or wheelchairs with a shorterturning radius will generally provide greater ease of vehicle access and manoeuvrability to a forward-facing position.

Securing the wheelchair with a strap restraint system
This wheelchair has been successfully crash tested in accordance to: ISO 7176-19:2008, using a representing restraint system.

• Use 6 straps if the 4-point system is not rated to the weight of the wheelchair (2 at the front and 4 at the back) that conforms to ISO 10542-1 (international). Standard straps are only tested to 85kg.
• It is recommended to use with a 4-point strap restraint system rated for the total weight of the wheelchair including any options (Heavy Duty System) – 2 at the front, 2 at the back (Fig. 7.2 & 7.3) that conforms to ISO 10542-1 (international).
  |
  ---|---

NOTE: Use WTORS in accordance with the WTORS#1 manufacturers instruction.

Terminology explained:

1. WTORS: Wheelchair Tie-down Occupant Restraint System Recommended angles for Tie-Down straps (Fig. 7.2 – 7.3).

DANGER!

• The wheelchair can only be secured by using the tie-down points on the wheelchair’s frame (Fig. 7.5).A Front Tie Down Points.
  B Rear Tie Down Points.
  C Direction of Travel.

• The tie-down points (2 in the front, 2 in the back) are indicated by the tie-down symbol (Fig. 7.4). Fit the front straps first, then the rear. Tension the straps to secure the wheelchair. The wheelchair may not be secured onto any accessories (wishbones, armrests, anti-tip brackets etc.).

• No changes or replacements must be made to the anchorage points/car fastenings on the wheelchair, or to constructional elements or parts of the frame without consulting the manufacturer.

• When the wheelchair is transported in a vehicle without occupant and no restraint system is available then the wheelchair should be properly stored and secured in the cargo area during travel.

7.2 Using the Dahl Docking System
CAUTION!
The installation should be performed or supervised by a technician. Read all instructions carefully before proceeding with the installation.
To install Docking Plate use Dahl Adaption Kit #501798

1. Fit the 8 mm spacer onto the lock plate (Fig. 7.6).

2. Use more spacers to achieve desired thickness with regards to, for instance, user weight and tire pressure.
   Additional spacers can be mounted under the locking station (Fig. 7.7). To align the height of the lock plate under wheelchair with the docking station fit spacers between the docking station and the vehicle floor to raise the docking station.

3. Put the five screws through the lock plate, the mandatory 8 mm spacer and the selected optional spacers (gray in picture) (Fig. 7.8). WARNING!
   Do not use any other screws than those supplied from Dahl engineering (Part

   502800 which is Quality 14.9 with Torx Key Size 27). Standard screws will not

   be strong enough in the event of a collision.

4. Mount the five screws together with the spacer/spacers and the lock plate on the underside of the chassis box (Fig. 7.9).

5. Mark where to cut the screws. (Fig. 7.10).

6. Remove the screws together with the spacer/spacers (Fig. 7.11).

7. Cut the screw where the mark is (Fig. 7.12).
   It is very important that the fitter checks that the length of the bolts are correct. If bolts are too short to reach through all the threads – they will not have the strength to carry the loads required. If bolts are too long the batteries or other wheel chair components can be damaged. If necessary replace with longer bolts, or shorten them.

8. Apply Loctite 222 (or an equivalent product) onto the screw (Fig. 7.13).

9. Attach the five screws together with the plastic spacer/spacers (to prevent the batteries from coming into contact with the nuts) and the lock plate on the underside of the chassis box. Tightening torque: 16-18 Nm/13.3 lb.ft (Fig. 7.14). Please refer to Section 6.6 of this manual for reverse the procedure to replace batteries.

10. Perform final check by connecting the wheelchair to the docking station. Check that it is securely locked and make sure that all release methods work as intended (Fig. 7.15). A warning tone will sound if the lock plate is not properly engaged.
    (A) Release button.
    (B) Manual operating lever.
    (C) Emergency release.
    (D) Red LED.
    (E) Green LED.
    (F) Lock Plate.
    (G) Lock Pin.

Securing the wheelchair in the docking station:
Make sure that the leg rests are not colliding with the ramp or the docking station when entering the vehicle.

1. Maneuver the wheelchair slowly and in a uniform direction over the docking station. The lock plate under the wheelchair helps to guide the wheelchair into place in the docking station.
   When the lock plate is fully engaged in the docking station, a spring-action locking pin automatically secures the lock plate.

2. The docking station is equipped with a control switch that indicates whether the lock plate is correctly secured in the docking station. As soon as the lock plate comes into contact with the locking pin, a warning tone will sound (a high-pitched howl), and the red diode/lamp (LED) in the control panel will light up until the lock plate is either fully engaged or else the wheelchair is removed from the docking station.

3. As an indication that the wheelchair is properly secured, the warning tone will cease, the red diode in the control panel will go out and the green diode lamp (LED) will light up.

4. Do not forget to buckle up for driving.

Release from the docking station

1. When the vehicle has been brought to a halt, remove the safety belt.

2. To unlock commence by driving the wheelchair forward to release pressure on the lock pin and then press the red release button in the control panel. The locking pin will be triggered/ released for approx. 5 seconds, after which the locking pin is automatically locked/activated again. Do not attempt to reverse out of the docking station until the red LED on the control module, which indicates the unlock position, has been illuminated.
   WARNING! Attempting to reverse the wheelchair before the red LED has been illuminated will result in blocking the docking stations lock mechanism, which makes it impossible to reverse. If this happens repeat above unlocking procedure.

3. Move the wheelchair away from the docking station within this 5-second period.

Manual release in case of electrical failure

1. In the event of electrical failure, a manual emergency release is located at the front edge of the docking station. Move wheelchair forward to release pressure on the lock pin and push the red release arm to one side and hold it there while the wheelchair reverses out of the docking station.
2. A cable-activated manual operating lever can also be fitted (accessory). The red release arm must pushed to one side and should be held there whilst the wheelchair moves away.
3. If the described manual release procedures fails, an emergency release tool made from red plastic comes with each docking station.
   Move wheelchair forward to release pressure on the lock pin and place the emergency release tool in the gap between the locking plate and the docking station. Push the release tool forward until the locking pin will has been forced down – after which the wheelchair can be reversed out of the docking station.

Please also refer to Dahl Engineering instructions for Installation, Use and Maintenance

7.3 The wheelchair as a passenger seat
A wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the equivalent level of safety and security as a vehicle seating system. Sunrise Medical recommends that the user transfers
to the vehicle seating and uses the vehicle-installed restraint system wherever possible. Sunrise Medical recognizes that it is not always practical for the user to be transferred and in these circumstances, where the user must be transported whilst in the wheelchair, the following advice must be followed:

DANGER!

• The safety of the user during transportation depends upon the diligence of the person securing the tie down restraints and they should have received appropriate instructions and/or training in their use.

• Wherever possible remove and stow safely away from the wheelchair all auxiliary equipment, e.g. : crutches, loose cushions, tray tables, etc.
  i. Removed and secured separately in the vehicle, or
  ii. Secured to the wheelchair, but with energy-absorbing padding placed between the table and the user.

• Articulating/elevating leg rest should not be used in the elevated position when the wheelchair and user are being transported.

• If applicable: Reclining backrests should be returned to an upright position.

• If applicable: Seat elevators should be in the lowest position.

• If applicable: The manual brakes must be firmly applied.

Occupant restraint Instruction
DANGER!

• Use a 3-point occupant restraint system to secure the occupant.
• 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.
• Restraints should be mounted to the appropriate vehicle pillar and should not be held away from the body by wheelchair components such as armrest or wheels (Fig. 7.16).
• Use a suitable positioned headrest when being transported in a wheelchair.
• Postural supports (lap straps, lap belts) should not be used or relied on for occupant restraint in a moving vehicle unless they are labelled as meeting the requirements specified in ISO 7176-19:2008 or SAE J2249.

Positioning the occupant restraint
DANGER!

• Belt restraints should make full contact with the shoulder, chest and pelvis and pelvic belts should be positioned low on the pelvis near the thigh-abdominal junction (meeting the requirements specified in ISO 7176-19:2008).
• The pelvic restraint belt 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° to the horizontal.
• A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is desirable i.e. closer to, but never exceeding 75° degrees (Fig. 7.17).i. The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the shoulder and across the chest as illustrated (Fig. 7.17). Restraint belts must be adjusted as tightly as possible consistent with user comfort.
• Restraint belt webbing must not be twisted when in use.
• Care should be taken when applying the occupant restraint to position the seatbelt buckle so that the release button will not be contacted by wheelchair components during a crash.

Passenger with a user weight < 22 kg.
When the user being transported is a child, less than 22 kg mass and the vehicle involved has less than eight (8) seated passengers it is recommended that they be transferred to an UNCE Regulation 44 compliant child restraint system (CRS).
This type of r estraint system provides a more effective occupant restraint system than the conventional 3 point occupant restraint system and some CRS systems also include additional postural supports to assist in maintaining the position of the child when seated.
Parents or care providers may consider the option, in some circumstances, for their child is to remain in their wheelchair whilst in transport due to the level of posture control and comfort provided by the set up in the wheelchair.
We would recommend in such circumstances that a risk assessment be carried out by your healthcare professional and relevant competent persons.

For use with Dahl Docking system only (Fig. 7.18)
When using wheelchair with Dahl Docking system, the floor anchorage points for occupant restraint should be located 10-60 mm outside wheels, on each side.

7.4 Special transport requirements
Using your wheelchair on the train.
Before you travel, please contact the train operator. They will be able to supply details of any special requirements/instructions. We advise you to check the following:

• Is there a suitable and intended “wheelchair” area in the train for wheelchair users (with adequate turning space to manoeuvre)?
• Is there a suitable or designated area on the platform for wheelchair users (with adequate turning space to manoeuvre)?
• Is there suitable boarding access available to allow you to access the railway carriage and the intended “wheelchair” area?
• Is the boarding access suitable for the combined mass of the wheelchair and the occupant?
• Make sure the slope of the boarding access is not greater than the dynamic safe slope. (See Section 10)
• Any obstacles or thresholds should not exceed the max kerb climbing capability of your wheelchair. (See Section 10)

Most train operators will provide assistance provided that arrangements have been made in advance. We suggest you have you Owner’s Manual ready when planning your journey and contacted them.

WARNING!

• While driving on a boat or train, make sure that you use a driving Profile 1, as this is the standard profile where the GYRO is deactivated. The continuous movement of a
  boat or train, disrupts the GYRO system and the driving characteristics of your wheelchair.

• Operate all of the electric options, including lights and indicators, (if fitted), to make sure that they work correctly.
• With the seating in an elevated position, drive the wheelchair to make sure that the ‘creep’ mode works which will slow the wheelchair.
• Drive the wheelchair in each of the drive profiles to make sure the wheelchair performs as it did before.

WARNING!

• If you are in any doubt about the performance requirements of your wheelchair contact your Sunrise Medical authorised dealer.
• After performing any maintenance or repairs on the wheelchair you must make sure that it is functioning correctly before it is used.
• A complete inspection, safety check and service should be made by a Sunrise Medical authorised dealer at least once per year.
• All fasteners must be replaced like for like using the correct length, tensile strength and materials.
• 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 fastener.
• Check all Velcro fastening straps for correct adhesion when pressed together.
• Ensure that any contamination, such as fluff, hair,etc is removed from the Velcro straps. Such contamination may affect adhesion.

Monthly checks
Perform the monthly check routine before driving as described below.

• All fasteners should be checked monthly for wear, such as loose bolts or broken components.
• Check all straps monthly for fraying, ripped seams or other indications of excessive wear damage. Discontinue use if damage is found.

8.2 Tyre maintenance and pressures
8.2.1 Tyre pressure
CAUTION!
If pneumatic tyres are fitted to your wheelchair it is important to regularly check the air pressure and for signs of wear.
The maximum tyre pressures are listed in Section 8.3, if in doubt check the markings on the side of the wheelchair tyre for guidance.
NOTE: It is important that drive wheels are inflated to equal pressures as a pair, and likewise the rear. The inflator pump provides the safest method of inflating your wheelchair tyres and the pressure can be checked with a standard motor vehicle pressure gauge.

DANGER!

• Do not inflate beyond the maximum allowed tyre pressure.
• Always use the pump that is supplied with the chair,

8.2.2 Tyre wear
When inspecting the tyres for signs of wear, look for significant scuff marks, cuts and a diminished tyre tread. Tyres will need to be changed when the tread cannot be seen over the complete surface of the tyre, (Fig.8.1).

8.2.3 Drive wheel tyre repair
To remove the wheel/tyre:
Please see below and next page for photographs.

• Remove the colour ring.
• Use a 16 mm AF lug nut to loosen the 3-Socket studs, (Fig. 8.2).
• Jack the base/battery box up and support it using blocks, (Fig. 8.3).
• Remove the 3 studs and pull the wheel away from the hub.
• Remove the valve cap and let the air out of the tyre by gently pressing the valve stem with a small screw driver, (Fig. 8.4).
• There are 6 rim studs that must be loosened/tightened in the number order shown, (Fig.8.5).
• Use a 5.0 mm Allen key to release/tighten the studs. (Fig. 8.5).
• Lift the inner rim off the tyre wall (Fig. 8.6).
• Lift the tyre and tube off the outer rim, (Fig.8.7).
• Gently get a hold of the inner tube just behind the valve.
• Carefully feed the tube out of the tyre, (Fig.8.8).
• Ensure all parts are clean before reassembling, (Fig.8.9).

---|---

To refit

• Place the tube inside the tyre and rest the tyre on the outer rim.
• Align the valve stem with the cut out in the rim.
• Face the valve stem outward.
• Place the inner rim over the tyre, tube and outer rim.
• Align the cut out to fit over the valve stem and match it up to the cut out in the outer rim, (Fig.8.10).
• Make sure the stud mounts are in line on both rims.
• Tighten the studs in the sequence shown in Fig.8.5, taking care not to pinch the tube.
• Slowly inflate to the pressures quoted in section 8.1.1 .
• Refit the wheel back onto the motor shaft and fix it safely with the 3 studs to a torque of 34Nm.

For solid tyres the sequence is the same, just discount the references to the inner tube and valve.

8.2.4 Removing the castor wheels (M base) (Fig.8.11).

• Use a 17.0 mm spanner/socket to undo the axle bolt.
• Remove the nyloc nut.

Removing the castor wheels (F/R base) (Fig.8.12)

• Use a 13.0 mm wrench and 5 mm Allen key to undo loosen the screws.
• Remove both screws

Refitting:
When refitting do not try to force the bolt through. Gently move the wheel back and forth until the bolt slips through then tighten to a torque of 14Nm.
WARNING!
Always use a new nyloc nut when refitting.

8.3 Wheels & tyres maintenance
To ensure that your wheelchair functions properly, it is essential that the tires are kept at the correct pressure. The correct tyre pressure is indicated on the side of the tyre.
Tyres that are too soft will have a negative effect on the wheelchair’s performance. Moving the wheelchair will require more energy, making more demands on the batteries. Furthermore, wear on under inflated tyres is increased
When inspecting the tyres for signs of wear, look for significant scuff marks, cuts and a diminished tyre tread. Tyres will need to be changed when the tread cannot be seen over the complete surface of the tyre.

DANGER!

• Do not inflate beyond the maximum allowed tyre pressure.
• Never use a forecourt pump
• Before tyres are repaired they must first be fully deflated!

8.4 Lighting maintenance:
DANGER!
Maintaining lights and indicators is a safety critical task. If your lights and indicator system shows a defect, please contact your Sunrise Medical Approved Dealer.
All lights and indicators are state of the art LED low energy, no maintenance units. There are no light bulbs used. The high intrinsic reliability of these units means that they are extremely
unlikely to fail under normal usage. If a failure should occur, (may be as a result of an impact), the damaged light assembly must be replaced in its entirety. The individual LED’s cannot be replaced.
**CAUTION!**

• We recommend the use of Sunrise Medical authorized spare parts only.
• Be advised that all lighting circuits are electronically protected. In the event of a short circuit current will be limited to a safe level. Once the fault is removed the system
  resets automatically.

8.5 Cleaning and disinfection
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 motors should be blown or dusted away.
CAUTION!
Make sure 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 atmosphere.
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 infection.
Hygiene measures when being re-used:
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the user must be treated with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a disinfectant as authorised/ recommended in your country, for rapid alcohol-based disinfection for medical products and medical devices, which
must be disinfected quickly.
Please be aware of the manufacturer’s instructions for the disinfectant you are using.
In general, a complete disinfection cannot be guaranteed on seams. We therefore recommend that you dispose of seat and back slings to avoid micro- bacterial contamination with active agents according to your local infection protection law.
CAUTION!

• Do not use solvents, bleaches, abrasives, synthetic detergents, wax polishes or aerosols.
• Disinfectants may be used in dilution as specified by their manufacturer.
• Ensure surfaces are rinsed with clean water and dried thoroughly.

WARNING!

• Always read the label on any commercial or domestic cleaning substances.
• Always follow the instructions carefully.
Cleaning controls: Controller
Should the control of your wheelchair become soiled or dirty, it can be wiped with a damp cloth with a dilute disinfectant until clean.

DANGER!

Important: If the wheelchair is to be used by more than one person, follow the cleaning and disinfection instructions carefully to ensure that there is no cross infection.
8.6 Medium to long term storage:
When storing your wheelchair for long periods of time (in excess of one week), follow these simple instructions:

• Fully charge the wheelchair for at least 24 hours.
• Disconnect the charger.
• Disconnect the batteries.

WARNING!
Never store your wheelchair:

• Outside.
• In direct sunlight, (plastic parts may discolour).
• Near a source of direct heat.
• In a damp environment.
• In a cold environment.
• With the batteries/battery boxes connected, (even if the controller is switched off).

Avoiding all of the above will minimise battery deep cycle discharge and extend battery lifetime.
When returning the wheelchair to use, please reconnect the batteries/battery boxes and charge the wheelchair for at least 24 hours before use.
