Paralysis
Loss of extremity (leg amputation)
Extremity defect deformity
Joint contractures/joint injuries
Illnesses such as heart and circulation deficiencies, disturbance of equilibrium or cachexia, Neurological disease patterns, Muscle dystrophy, Hemiplegia as well as for elderly people who still have strength in the upper body.

Contraindications
The wheelchair shall not be used without attendant in case of:

Perception disorder
Imbalance
Loss of both arms, if not supported by a caregiver
Joint contracture or joint damage on both arms
Seating disability

NOTE:
Please note that driving a wheelchair requires sufficient cognitive, physical and visual skills. The user must be able to assess the effects of actions during the operation of the wheelchair and, if necessary, to correct them. These capabilities and the safe use of the additionally attached components cannot be assessed by Sunrise Medical as a manufacturer. We cannot accept any liability for any damage resulting from this.

Please refer to the operating instructions of the wheelchair and the additionally mounted components. Instruct the user in the safe use of the wheelchair and the additionally mounted components. Inform users of specific warnings that need to be read, understood, and respected.

When considering provision, please also note the body size, weight, physical and psychological constitution, the age of the person, living conditions and environment.

General safety notes and driving restrictions

The engineering and construction of this wheelchair has been designed to provide maximum safety. International safety standards currently in force have either been fulfilled or exceeded in parts.
Nevertheless, users may put themselves at risk by improperly using their wheelchairs. For your own safety, the following rules must be strictly observed.
Unprofessional or erroneous changes or adjustments increase the risk of accident. As a wheelchair user, you are also part of the daily traffic on streets and pavements, just like anyone else. We would like to remind you that you are therefore also subject to any and all traffic laws.
Be careful during your first ride in this wheelchair. Get to know your wheelchair.
Before each use, the following should be checked:

Fixed axles or Quick-release axles on the rear wheels.
Velcro on seats and backrests
Tyres, tyre pressure and wheel locks.

Before changing any of the adjustments of this wheelchair, it is important to read the corresponding section of the user’s manual. It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause this wheelchair to tip over, especially when riding uphill or downhill. When riding forwards over a step or up an incline, the body should be leaning forward.

DANGER!

NEVER exceed the maximum load of 125 kg for user plus any items carried on the wheelchair. If you exceed the maximum load, this can lead to damage to the chair, or you may fall or tip over, lose control and may lead to serious injury of the user and other people.
When it is dark, please wear light clothing or clothing with reflectors, so that you can be seen more easily. Make sure that the reflectors on the side and back of the wheelchair are clearly visible.
We would also recommend that you fit an active light.
To avoid falls and dangerous situations, you should first practice using your new wheelchair on level ground with good visibility.
When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the footboards.
These should be flipped up beforehand and swung to the outside as far as possible. Always position yourself as close as possible to the place where you wish to transfer to.
Only use your wheelchair with care. For example, avoid travelling against an obstacle without braking (step, kerb edge) or dropping down gaps.
The wheel locks are not intended to stop your wheelchair in motion. They are only there to ensure that your wheelchair does not begin rolling unintentionally. When you stop on uneven ground, you should always use the wheel locks to prevent unintended movement. Always apply both wheel locks; otherwise, your wheelchair could tip over.
Explore the effects of changing the centre of gravity on the behaviour of the wheelchair in use, for example on inclines, slopes, all gradients or when overcoming obstacles. Do this with the secure aid of a helper.
With extreme settings (e.g. rear wheels in the most forward position) and less than perfect posture, the wheelchair may tip over even on a level surface.
Lean your upper body further forward when going up slopes and steps.
Lean your upper body further back when going down slopes and steps. Never try to climb and descend a slope diagonally.
Avoid using an escalator which may lead to serious injury in the event of a fall.
Do not use the wheelchair on slopes more than 10°. The Dynamic safe slope is dependant on the chair configuration, the users abilities and the style of riding. As the users abilities and style of riding cannot be predetermined then the max safe slope cannot be determined. Therefore this must be determined by the user with the assistance of an attendant to prevent tipping. It is strongly recommended that inexperienced users have Antitips fitted.
It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause this wheelchair to tip over, especially when riding uphill or downhill.
Do not use your wheelchair on muddy or icy ground.
Do not use your wheelchair where pedestrians are not allowed.
To avoid hand injuries do not grab in between the spokes or between the rear wheel and wheel lock when driving the wheelchair.
In particular when using lightweight metal handrims, fingers will easily become hot when braking from a high speed or on long inclines.
Only attempt stairs with the help of an attendant. There is equipment available to help you, e.g. climbing ramps or lifts, please use them. If there is no such equipment available, then the wheelchair must be tipped and pushed, never carried, over the steps (2 helpers). We recommend that users over 100 kg in weight are not transferred in this way. In general, any anti-tip tubes fitted must be set beforehand, so that they cannot touch the steps, as otherwise this could lead to a serious tumble. Afterwards the anti-tip tubes must be set back to their correct position.
Make sure that the attendant only holds the wheelchair using securely mounted parts. Do not use removable parts (e.g. not on the footrests or the side guards).

DANGER!

When using the lifting ramp make sure that the anti-tip tubes fitted are positioned outside the danger area.
Secure your wheelchair on uneven ground or when transferring, e.g. into a car, by using the brakes.
If and whenever possible, during a journey in a specially fitted vehicle for disabled people, vehicle occupants should use the seats in the vehicle and the appropriate restraint system. This is the only way to ensure that occupants will have the maximum protection if there is an accident.
Depending on the diameter and setting of the castors, as well as the centre of gravity setting of the wheelchair, the castors may begin to wobble at high speeds. This can lead to castor seizure and the wheelchair may tip over. Therefore, please make sure that the castors are adjusted correctly (see the Chapter “Castors”).
In particular, do not travel on an incline without brakes, travel at a reduced speed. We recommend that novice users use anti-tip tubes.
Anti-tip tubes should prevent the chair tipping over backwards unintentionally. Under no circumstances should they take the place of transit wheels, and be used to transport a person in a wheelchair with the rear wheels removed.
When reaching for objects (which are in front of, to the side or behind the wheelchair) make sure that you do not lean too far out of the wheelchair, as if you change the centre of gravity there is a risk of tipping or rolling over. The hanging of additional load (back pack or similar items) onto your chair back posts can affect the rearward stability of your chair, especially when used in combination with recliner backrests. This can cause the chair to tip backwards causing injury.
For thigh amputees you must use anti-tip tubes.
Before setting off, check that your tyre pressure is correct. For rear wheels it should be at least 3.5 bar ( 350 kPa). The max. pressure is indicated on the tyre.The knee-lever brakes will only work if there is sufficient tyre pressure and if the correct setting has been made (see the Chapter on “Brakes”).
If the seat and back sling are damaged, you must replace them immediately.
Be careful with fire, in particular with burning cigarettes. Seat and back slings can be set alight.
If the wheelchair is subject to direct sunlight / cold temperature for a long period of time, then parts of the wheelchair (e.g. frame, legrests, brakes and side guard) may become hot (>41°C) / very cold (<0°).
Always make sure that, if fitted, the quick-release axles on the rear wheels are set properly and lock in (locking ball bearings are showing completely through the axle sleeve). If the button on the quick-release axle is not pressed in, the rear wheel cannot be removed.

CAUTION!

The effect of the knee-lever brake as well as the general driving characteristics are dependant on tyre pressure. The wheelchair is significantly lighter and easier to manoeuvre when the rear wheels are pumped up correctly and both wheels have the same pressure.
Make sure that your tyres have sufficient tread!
Please note that you are subject to any and all traffic laws when driving in public traffic.
Always be careful when handling or adjusting the wheelchair!
Adjustments which require tools should always be done by authorized dealers.
Clean the wheelchair regularly to avoid rust and salt corrosion.
Check the rivets, nuts and bolts to make sure they are tight and that no wheelchair parts will come loose.
With all moving parts there is a natural risk of finger traps. Please handle with care.
The products shown and described in this manual may not be exactly the same in every detail as your own model. However, all instructions are still entirely relevant, irrespective of detai differences.
The manufacturer reserves the right to alter without notice any weights, measurements or other technical data shown in this manual. All figures, measurements and capacities shown in this manual are approximate and do not constitute specifications.

Trans portability

WARNING

The wheelchair must not be used as a seat in a vehicle.
Transfer to the vehicle seating and use the restraints fitted to that vehicle.

Refer to the vehicle Owner’s Handbook for full instructions.

Handling

FOLDING UP
First remove the seat cushion and the back seat shell from the wheelchair and flip up the (platform) footplate or the individual footrests.
Take hold of the sling or the seat tubes in the middle, from the back and pull upwards. The wheelchair will then fold up. To fold your wheelchair so that it is as small as possible, e.g., to put into a car, you can remove the footrests (depending on the model).
For this purpose, open the latch from the outside and swing the footrest to the side. Then the footrest only has to be drawn out of the receiver tube (Fig. 1).
Handling

UNFOLDING

Press down firmly on the seat tube. Your wheelchair is then unfolded. Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the cross-tube assembly. Refit the seat cushionl (Fig. 2).
Handling

GETTING INTO YOUR WHEELCHAIR INDEPENDENTLY (FIG. 3)

The wheelchair should be pushed up against a wall or solid piece of furniture;
The brakes should be on;
The footplates should be hinged up;
The user can then lower himself into the chair;
The footplates should then be pushed down and the feet rested on them in front of the heel loops.

GETTING OUT OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR INDEPENDENTLY (FIG. 4)

The brakes should be on;
The hinged footplates should be hinged up;
With one hand on each armrest, the person should bend slightly forward to bring the body weight to the front of the seat, and with both feet firmly on the ground, one foot well back, push up into the upright position.

WARNING!
When standing, do not stand on the footplates or the wheelchair will tip up. It is easier and safer to get into your wheel chair if you turn the footplates up and out of the way or take them off the wheelchair.

Options – Step Tubes

STEP TUBES (FIG.5)

Step tubes are used by attendants to tip a wheelchair over an obstacle. Simply step on the tube to push a wheelchair, for example, over a kerb or step.
NOTE: Sunrise Medical strongly reccommends the use of a step tube on any model where attendant use is the predominant intended use.
Damage to the backposts may occur if you constantly use the backpost without a step tube, as a lever to pull back on to tip the wheelchair, in order to overcome obstacles.

Options – Brakes

WHEEL LOCKS
Your wheelchair is equipped with two wheel locks. They are applied directly against the tyres. To engage, press both brake levers forward against the stops. To release the locks, pull the levers back to their original positions

Braking power will decrease with:

Worn tyre tread
Tyre pressure that is too low
Wet tyres
Improperly adjusted wheel locks

The wheel locks have not been designed to be used as brakes for a moving wheelchair. The wheel locks should therefore never be used to brake a moving wheelchair. Always use the hand-rims for braking. Make sure that the gap between the tyres and wheel locks complies with given specifications. To readjust, loosen the screw and set the appropriate gap. Then re-tighten the screw (Fig. 6 + 7)

CAUTION!

After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the wheel lock gap and re-adjust if necessary.
Mounting the wheel lock too close towards the wheel will result in a higher effort to operate. This might cause the brake lever to break!
Leaning onto the brake lever while transferring will cause the lever to break! Splashing water from tyres might cause the wheel lock to malfunction..

Options – Side Guard

FLIP-UP ARMRESTS
The side guard with rounded off front edges will allow you to get up close to a table, (Fig.8).
To flip the armrest up, push the lever (1), so that the side guard is released

WARNING!
Neither the side guards nor the
armrests are to be used for lifting or carrying the wheelchair.

Options – Footplates

FOOTPLATES:
The footplates can be flipped up to make it easier to transfer to/from the chair. Each assembly weighs 1.0kg.

LOWER LEG LENGTH:
For users with longer legs, the leg support can be lowered to the appropriate level by loosening the hand wheel (1), pressing the spring button (2). Push the tubes to the desired position. The button will spring back into the desired hole. Retighten the hand wheel. There must always be a minimum gap of 2.5 cm between the footplates and the ground, (Fig.9).

LEG RESTS AND LATCH
The leg rests can be swung outwards. When fitting the leg rests, the leg rests must be pointing outwards. Then rotate the leg rest inwards, until it locks into place. To remove, press the release lever (1), swing the footplate outwards and then lift the leg rest out. Make sure that the leg rest is locked into place correctly before use, (Fig.10).

CAUTION!

The legrests must not be used to lift or to carry the wheelchair.
When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the footboards. These should be flipped up beforehand or the footrest should be swung to the outside as far as possible.

Options – Castors

CASTORS, CASTOR PLATES, FORKS

The wheelchair may veer slightly to the right or left, or the castors may wobble. This may be caused by the following:

Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set properly.
The castor angle has not been set correctly.
Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; the wheels do not turn smoothly.

The wheelchair will not move in a straight line if the castors have not been properly adjusted. Castors should always be adjusted by an authorised dealer. The wheel locks must be checked every time the rear wheel position has been altered.
The seat height is determined by the castor and rear wheel position. The seat height can be adjusted by altering the position of the rear wheels and the castors.

CAUTION!
After adjusting the seat height, all screws must be re-tightened and the wheel lock must be readjusted. The castors must be set at 90°

Name Plate

NAMEPLATES
The nameplate is located on either the cross-tube assembly or the transverse frame tube, as well as on a label in the owner’s manual.

Tyres and Mounting

TYRES AND MOUNTING
If pneumatic tyres are used, make sure that you maintain the correct tyre pressure, as this can have an effect on wheelchair performance. If the tyre pressure is too low, rolling resistance will increase, requiring more effort to move the chair forward. Low tyre pressure also has a negative impact on manoeuvrability. If the tyre pressure is too high, the tyre could burst. The correct pressure for a given tyre is printed on the surface of the tyre itself.

Tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle tyre. Before installing a new inner tube, you should always make sure that the base of the rim and the interior of the tyre are free of foreign objects. Check the pressure after mounting or repairing a tyre. It is critical to your safety and to the wheelchair’s performance that regulation air pressure be maintained and that tyres be in good condition.

Daily Checks

CAUTION!

As the user, you are the first person to notice any possible defects. We therefore recommend that before each use, you check the items in the following list:

Check for correct tyre pressures
Check that the brakes work correctly
Check that all removable parts are secure, e.g. armrest, footrest, quick-release axle etc.
Check for visible damage e.g. on the frame, backrest, seat sling and back sling, wheels, footplate etc If there is any damage or malfunction, please contact your authorised dealer.

Trouble Shooting

Wheelchair pulls to one side

Check tyre pressure (pneumatic tyres only).
Check to make sure wheel turns easily (bearings, axle).
Check the castors are set consistently and make proper contact with the ground.
Ensure castor fork bearings rotate freely.

Castors begin to wobble

Check to make sure all bolts are secure; tighten if necessary (see the section on torque).
Check to make sure both castors are making proper contact with the ground.

Wheelchair squeaks and rattles

Check to make sure all bolts are secure; tighten if necessary (see the section on torque).
Apply small amount of lubrication to spots where movable parts come in contact with one another.

Wheelchair begins to wobble

Check angle at which castors are set.
Check all tyres for damage or wear.
Check to see if rear wheels are adjusted or fixed unevenly.

Maintenance and Care

MAINTENANCE

Check the tyre pressure every 4 weeks. Check all tyres for wear and damage.
Check the brakes approximately every 4 weeks to make sure that they are working properly and are easy to use.
Change tyres as you would an ordinary bicycle tyre.
All of the joints that are critical to using your wheelchair safely are self-locking nuts. Please check every three months to make sure that all bolts are secure (see the section on torque). Safety nuts should only be used once and should be replaced after use.
Please use only mild household cleansers when your wheelchair is dirty. Use only soap and water when cleaning the seat upholstery and lap belt.
If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it after use, to avoid rust and salt corrosion.
A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied to quick release axles approximately every 8 weeks. Depending on the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking your wheelchair to your authorised dealer every 6 months to have it inspected by trained personnel.

CAUTION!

Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage the bearings of the front and rear wheels. Clean the wheelchair thoroughly after exposure.

The following parts can be removed and sent to the manufacturer / dealer for repair:
Rear wheels, Armrest, Hanger, Anti – tips. These components are available as spares. More details can be found in the parts manual.

HYGIENE WHEN BEING REUSED:
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.

STORAGE
Please store/keep the wheelchair in a dry place.

Disposal / Recycling of Materials

NOTE: If the wheelchair has been supplied to you free of charge it may not belong to you. If it is no longer required follow any instructions given by the organisation issuing the wheelchair in order that it may be returned to them.

The following information describes the materials used in the wheelchair in relation to the disposal or re-cycling of the wheelchair and its packaging. Specific waste disposal or recycling regulations may be in force locally and these should be taken into consideration when disposal arrangements are made. (This may include the cleaning or decontamination of the wheelchair before disposal).

MAXIMUM LOAD: 125 KG

ALSO SEE PAGE 4
In Accordance with EN12183: 2009 all there listed parts (seat – back upholstery, arm pad, side panel…) are fire resistant as per EN1021-2 .

The Dynamic safe slope is dependant on the chair configuration, the users abilities and the style of riding. As the users abilities and style of riding cannot be predetermined then the max safe slope cannot be determined. Therefore this must be determined by the user with the assistance of an attendant to prevent tipping. It is strongly recommended that inexperienced users have Ant-tips fitted.
The wheelchair conforms to the following standards:
a) Requirements and test methods for static, impact and fatigue strengths (ISO 7176-8)
b) Requirements for resistance to ignition in accordance with ISO 7176-16 (EN 1021-1)
