NOTICE– READ BEFORE USE

A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR AND SAFETY OPTIONS
Sunrise provides a choice of many wheelchair styles to meet the needs of the wheelchair rider. However, final selection of the type of wheelchair, options and adjustments rests solely with you and your health care provider. Choosing the best chair and set-up for your safety depends on such things as:

1. Your disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (where you live and work, and other places you are likely to use your chair).
3. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as anti-tip tubes, positioning belts, or special seating systems).

B. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN
Before using this chair you, and each person who may assist you, should read this entire manual and ensure you follow all instructions. Review the warnings often, until they are second nature to you.

C. WARNINGS
The word “WARNING” refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that may cause severe injury or death to you or to other persons. The “Warnings” are in four main sections, as follows:

1. V — GENERAL WARNINGS
   Here you will find a safety checklist and a summary of risks you need
   to be aware of before you ride this chair.

2. VI — WARNINGS — FALLS AND TIP-OVERS

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.

E. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CHAIR
WARNING
Every wheelchair is different. Take the time to learn the feel of this chair before you begin riding. Start slowly, with easy, smooth strokes. If you are use to a different chair, you may use too much force and tip over. If you use too much force, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

F. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT
WARNING

1. BEFORE riding, you should be trained in the safe use of this chair by your health care provider.
2. Practice bending, reaching and transfers until you know the limit of your ability. Have someone help you until you know what can cause a fall or tip-over and how to avoid doing so.
3. Be aware that you must develop your own methods for safe use best suited to your level of function and ability.
4. NEVER try a new maneuver on your own until you are sure you can do it safely.
5. Get to know the areas where you plan to use your chair. Look for hazards and learn how to avoid them.
6. Use anti-tip tubes unless you are a skilled rider of this chair and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.

G. SAFETY CHECKLIST
WARNING
Before Each Use Of Your Chair:

1. Ensure the chair rolls easily and that all parts work smoothly. Check for noise, vibration, or a change in ease of use. (This may indicate low tire pressure, loose fasteners, or damage to your chair).
2. Immediately repair any problem. Your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer can help you find and correct the problem.
3. Check to see that both quick-release rear axles are locked. When locked, the axle button will “pop out” fully. If not locked, the wheel may come off and cause you to fall.
4. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place.

NOTE– See “Anti-Tip Tubes” (Section VIII) for times you should not use them.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

H. CHANGES AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING

1. If you modify or adjust this chair, it may increase the risk of a tipover.
2. Consult your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer BEFORE you modify or adjust your chair.
3. We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
4. Unauthorized modifications or use of parts not supplied or approved by Sunrise may change the chair structure. This will void the warranty and may cause a safety hazard.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

I. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
WARNING

1. Use extra care if you must ride your chair on a wet or slick surface. If you are in doubt, ask for help.
2. Contact with water or excess moisture may cause your chair to rust or corrode. This could cause your chair to fail.
   a. Do not use your chair in a shower, pool or other body of water.
   The chair tubing and parts are not water-tight and may rust or corrode from the inside.
   b. Avoid excess moisture (for example, do not leave your chair in a damp bathroom while taking a shower).
   c. Dry your chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use water to clean it.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

J. TERRAIN
WARNING

1. Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as concrete, asphalt and indoor floors and carpeting.
2. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil or over rough terrain.
   This may damage wheels or axles or loosen fasteners of your chair.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

K. STREET USE
WARNING
In most states, wheelchairs are not legal for use on public roads. Be alert to the danger of motor vehicles on roads or in parking lots.

1. At night, or when lighting is poor, use reflective tape on your chair and clothing.
2. Due to your low position, it may be hard for drivers to see you.
   Make eye contact with drivers before you go forward. When in doubt, yield until you are sure it is safe.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

L. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
Identify whether your chair has been manufactured with the Transit Option installed.
WARNING
If your chair is NOT equipped with the Transit Option:

1. NEVER let anyone sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle.
   a. ALWAYS move the rider to an approved vehicle seat.
   b. ALWAYS secure the rider with proper motor vehicle restraints.

2. In an accident or sudden stop the rider may be thrown from the chair. Wheelchair seat belts will not prevent this, and further injury may result from the belts or straps.

3. NEVER transport this chair in the front seat of a vehicle. It may shift and interfere with the driver.

4. ALWAYS secure this chair so that it cannot roll or shift.

5. Do not use any chair that has been involved in a motor vehicle accident.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

M. WHEN YOU NEED HELP
WARNING
For The Rider:
Ensure that each person who helps you reads and follows all warnings and instructions that apply.

For Attendants:

1. Evaluate your ability to help the user control their chair when negotiating obstacles. Generally if the occupant is over 250 lbs, it is difficult for attendants to assist without increased risk for loss of control or serious injury. Work with the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist to learn safe methods best suited to your abilities and those of the rider.
2. Tell the rider what you plan to do, and explain what you expect the rider to do. This will put the rider at ease and reduce the risk of an accident.
3. Ensure the chair has push handles. They provide secure points for you to hold the rear of the chair to prevent a fall or tip-over.
4. Do not lift the chair by the armrest, footrest, push handles, stabilizer bar or cross brace while the chair is occupied.
5. To avoid tripping, unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the way. ALWAYS lock the rear wheels, and lock anti-tip tubes in the down position if you must leave the rider alone, even for a moment. This will reduce the risk of a tip over or loss of control of the chair.
6. Do not use the stabilizer bar for lifting the chair while it is occupied.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

WARNINGS: FOR SAFE USE

A. CENTER OF BALANCE
WARNING
The point where this chair will tip forward, back or to the side depends on its center of balance and stability. How your chair is set up, the options you select and the changes you make may affect the risk of a fall or tip-over.

1. The most important adjustment is the position of the rear wheels.
   The more you move the rear wheels forward, the more likely your chair will tip over backward.

2. The Center Of Balance Is Also Affected By:
   a. A change in the set-up of your chair, including:
   • The distance between the rear wheels
   • The amount of rear wheel camber
   • The seat height and seat angle
   • Backrest angle
   b. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution.
   c. Riding your chair on a ramp or slope.
   d. The use of a backpack or other options and the amount of added weight.

3. To Reduce The Risk Of An Accident:
   a. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out what axle and caster position is best for you.
   b. Consult your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer BEFORE you modify or adjust this chair. Be aware that you may need to make other changes to correct the center of balance.
   c. Have someone help you until you know the balance points of your chair and how to avoid a tip-over.
   d. Use anti-tip tubes.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

B. DRESSING OR CHANGING CLOTHES
WARNING
Your weight may shift if you dress or change clothes while seated in this chair.
To reduce the risk of a fall or tip-over:

1. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
   This makes the chair more stable.

2. Lock anti-tip tubes in place. (If your chair does not have anti-tip tubes, back it up against a wall and lock both rear wheels).

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

C. OBSTACLES
WARNING
Obstacles and road hazards (such as potholes and broken pavement) can damage your chair and may cause a fall, tip-over or loss of control.
To avoid these risks:

1. Keep a lookout for danger – scan the area well ahead of your chair as you ride.

2. Ensure the floor areas where you live and work are level and free of obstacles.

3. Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.

4. Install a ramp at entry or exit doors. Ensure there is not a drop off at the bottom of the ramp.

5. To Help Correct Your Center Of Balance:
   a. Lean your upper body FORWARD slightly as you go UP over an obstacle.
   b. Press your upper body BACKWARD as you go DOWN from a higher to a lower level.

6. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place before you go UP over an obstacle.

7. Keep both of your hands on the handrims as you go over an obstacle.

8. Never push or pull on an object (such as furniture or a doorjamb) to propel your chair.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

D. REACHING OR LEANING
WARNING
If you reach or lean it will affect the center of balance of your chair. This may cause you to fall or tip over. When in doubt, ask for help or use a device to extend your reach.

1. NEVER reach or lean if you must shift your weight sideways or rise up off the seat.
2. NEVER reach or lean if you must move forward in your seat to do so. Always keep your buttocks in contact with the backrest.
3. NEVER reach with both hands (you may not be able to catch yourself to prevent a fall if the chair tips).
4. NEVER reach or lean to the rear unless your chair has anti-tip tubes locked in place.
5. DO NOT reach or lean over the top of the seat back. This may damage one or both backrest tubes and cause you to fall.
6. If You Must Reach Or Lean:
   a. Do not lock the rear wheels. This creates a tip point and makes a fall or tip-over more likely.
   b. Do not put pressure on the footrests.

NOTE– Leaning forward puts pressure on the footrests and may cause the chair to tip if you lean too far.
c. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you wish to reach.
d. Do not try to pick up an object from the floor by reaching down between your knees. You are less likely to tip if you reach to the side of your chair.
e. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
This makes the chair more stable.
NOTE– To do this: Move your chair past the object you want to reach, then back up alongside it. Backing up will rotate the casters forward.
f. Firmly grasp a rear wheel or an armrest with one hand. This will help to prevent a fall if the chair tips.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
E. MOVING BACKWARD
WARNING
Use extra care when you move your chair backward. Your chair is most stable when you propel yourself forward. You may lose control or tip over if one of the rear wheels hits an object and stops rolling.

1. Propel your chair slowly and smoothly.
2. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, ensure you lock them in place.
3. Stop often and check to ensure your path is clear.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
F. RAMPS, SLOPES AND SIDEHILLS
WARNING
Riding on a slope, which includes a ramp or sidehill, will change the center of balance of your chair. Your chair is less stable when it is at an angle. Anti-tip tubes may not prevent a fall or tip-over.

1. Do not use your chair on a slope steeper than 10%. (A 10% slope means: one foot in elevation for every ten feet of slope length.)

2. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can. (Do not “cut the corner” on a slope or ramp.)

3. Do not turn or change direction on a slope.

4. Always stay in the CENTER of the ramp. Ensure the ramp is wide enough that you are not at risk that a wheel may fall over the edge.

5. Do not stop on a steep slope. If you stop, you may lose control of your chair.

6. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair. This is likely to cause your chair to veer out of control.

7. Beware of:
   a. Wet or slippery surfaces.
   b. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression). These may cause a fall or tip-over.
   c. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. A drop-off as small as 3/4- in (19 mm) can stop a front caster and cause the chair to tip forward.

8. To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over:
   a. Lean or press your body UPHILL. This will help adjust for the change in the center of balance caused by the slope or sidehill.
   b. Keep pressure on the handrims to control your speed on a down slope. If you go too fast you may lose control.
   c. Ask for help any time you are in doubt.
   9. Ramps At Home and Work– For your safety, ramps at home and work must meet all legal requirements for your area. We recommend:
   a. Width: At least four feet wide.
   b. Guardrails: To reduce the risk of a fall, sides of ramp must have guardrails (or raised borders at least three inches high).
   c. Slope: Not more than a 10% grade.
   d. Surface: Flat and even, with a thin carpet or other non-skid mate- rial. (Ensure there is no lip, bump or depression.)
   e. Bracing: Ramp must be STURDY. You may need bracing so ramp does not “bow” when you ride on it.
   f. Avoid A Drop Off. You may need a section at the top or bottom to smooth out the transition.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

G. TRANSFER
WARNING
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 wheelchair seat is not below you. To avoid a fall:

1. Work with your health care provider to learn safe methods.
   a. Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself during a transfer.
   b. Have someone help you until you know how to do a safe transfer on your own.

2. Lock the rear wheels before you transfer. This keeps the rear wheels from rolling.
   NOTE– This will NOT keep your chair from sliding away from you or tipping.

3. Ensure you keep pneumatic tires properly inflated. Low tire pressure may allow the rear wheel locks to slip.

4. Move your chair as close as you can to the seat you are transferring to. If possible, use a transfer board.

5. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.

6. If you can, remove or swing footrests out of the way.
   a. Ensure your feet do not catch in the space between the footrests.
   b. Avoid putting weight on the footrests as this may cause the chair to tip.

7. Ensure armrests are out of the way and do not interfere.

8. Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can. This will reduce the risk that the chair will tip or move away from you.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

H. CURBS AND STEPS
WARNING

1. Each person who helps you should read and follow the warnings “For Safe Use” (Section VII).

2. Do not try to climb or descend a curb or step alone UNLESS you are a skilled rider of this chair and:
   a. You can safely do a “wheelie”; and
   b. You are sure you have the strength and balance to do so.

3. Unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the way, so they do not interfere.

4. Do not try to climb a high curb or step (more than 4 inches [100 mm] high) UNLESS you have help. Doing so may cause your chair to exceed its balance point and tip over.

5. Go straight up and straight down a curb or step. If you climb or descend at an angle, a fall or tip-over is likely.

6. Be aware that the impact of dropping down from a curb or step can damage your chair or loosen fasteners.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

I. STAIRS
WARNING

1. NEVER use this chair on stairs UNLESS you have someone to help you. Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.
2. Persons who help you should read and follow the warnings “For Attendants” (Section V:M) and “For Safe Use” (Section VII).

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
J. ESCALATORS
WARNING
NEVER use this chair on an escalator, even with an attendant. If you do, a fall or tip-over is likely.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

WARNINGS: FALLS AND TIP-OVERS

WARNING
Before you assist a rider, ensure you read the warnings “For Attendants” and follow all instructions that apply.
Be aware that you will need to learn safe methods best suited to your abilities.

A. DESCENDING A CURB OR SINGLE STEP
WARNING
Follow these steps to help a rider descend a curb or single step going BACKWARD:

1. Assess your ability to control the chair and the rider before attempting to assist descending a curb.
2. Stay at the rear of the chair.
3. Several feet before you reach the edge of the curb or step, turn the chair around and pull it backward.
4. While looking over your shoulder, carefully step back until you are off the curb or stair and standing on the lower level.
5. Pull the chair toward you until the rear wheels reach the edge of the curb or step. Then allow the rear wheels to slowly roll down onto the lower level.
6. When the rear wheels are safely on the lower level, tilt the chair back to its balance point. This will lift the front casters off the curb or step.
7. Keep the chair in balance and take small steps backward. Turn the chair around and gently lower front casters to the ground.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

B. CLIMBING A CURB OR SINGLE STEP
WARNING
Follow these steps to help the rider climb a curb or single step going FORWARD:

1. Assess your ability to control the chair and the rider before attempting to assist descending a curb.
2. Stay behind the chair.
3. Face the curb and tilt the chair up on the rear wheels so that the front casters clear the curb or step.
4. Move forward, placing the front casters on the upper level as soon as you are sure they are past the edge.
5. Continue forward until the rear wheels contact the face of the curb or step. Lift and roll the rear wheels to the upper level.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

C. CLIMBING STAIRS
WARNING

1. Climbing stairs is NOT recommended for riders over 250 lbs (113 kg).
2. Use at least two attendants to move a chair and rider up stairs.
3. Move the chair and rider BACKWARD up the stairs.
4. The person at the rear is in control. They tilt the chair back to its balance point.
5. A second attendant at the front firmly grasps a non-detachable part of the front frame and lifts the chair up and over one stair at a time.
6. The attendants move to the next stair up. Repeat for each stair, until you reach the landing.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

WARNING

1. Descending stairs is NOT recommended for riders over 250 lbs (113 kg).
2. Use at least two attendants to move a chair and rider down stairs.
3. Move the chair and rider FORWARD down the stairs.
4. The person at the rear is in control. They tilt the chair to the balance point of the rear wheels and roll it to the edge of the top step.
5.  A second attendant stands on the third step from the top and grasps the chair frame. They lower the chair one step at a time by letting the rear wheels roll over the stair edge.
6. The attendants move to the next stair down. Repeat for each stair, until you reach the landing.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

E. MAINTENANCE
WARNING

1. Inspect and maintain this chair strictly per Maintenance Chart in Section XI.
2. If you detect a problem, ensure you service or repair the chair before use.
3. At least once a year, have a complete inspection, safety check and service of your chair made by a Sunrise Medical authorized dealer.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury or death to the rider or others. For additional maintenance information see Section XI: Maintenance.

A. ANTI-TIP TUBES (OPTIONAL)
WARNING
Anti-tip tubes can help keep your chair from tipping over backward in most normal conditions.

1. Sunrise Recommends Use Of Anti-Tip Tubes:
   a. UNLESS you are a skilled rider of this chair and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
   b. Each time you modify or adjust your chair. The change may make it easier to tip backward. Use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.

2. When locked in place (in the “down” position) anti-tip tubes should be BETWEEN 1 1/2 to 2 inches (38 to 51 mm) off the ground.
   a. If set too HIGH, they may not prevent a tip-over.
   b. If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on obstacles you may encounter in normal use. If this occurs, you may fall or your chair may tip over.

3. Keep Anti-Tip Tubes Locked In Place UNLESS:
   a. You have an attendant; or
   b. You have to climb or descend a curb or overcome an obstacle and can safely do so without them. At these times, ensure antitip tubes are up, out of the way.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

B. ARMRESTS
WARNING
Armrests detach and will not bear the weight of this chair.

2. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

C. CUSHIONS AND SLING SEATS
WARNING

1. Quickie sling seats and standard foam cushions 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 seat system or a device to control your posture. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out if you need such a device for your well-being.
3. Seat slings are not intended to be used as a direct seating surface. A cushion or other seating surface should be placed on the sling before use.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

D. FASTENERS
WARNING
Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on this chair are special high-strength fasteners. Use of improper fasteners may cause your chair to fail.

1. ONLY use fasteners provided by a Sunrise Medical authorized dealer (or ones of the same type and strength, as indicated by the markings on the heads).
2. Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage to chair parts.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

E. FOOTRESTS
WARNING

1. At the lowest point, footrests should be AT LEAST 2 inches (51 mm) 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 chair to stop suddenly and tip forward.

2. To Avoid A Trip Or Fall When You Transfer:
   a. Ensure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in the space between the footrests.
   b. Avoid putting weight on the footrests, as the chair may tip forward.

3. NEVER lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and will not bear the weight of this chair. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

F. PNEUMATIC TIRES
WARNING
Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes your chair easier to use.

1. Do not use this chair if any of the tires are under- or over-inflated.
   Check weekly for proper inflation level, as listed on the tire sidewall.

2. Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that side to slip and allow the wheel to turn when you do not expect it.

3. Low pressure in any of the tires may cause the chair to veer to one side and result in a loss of control.

4. Over-inflated tires may burst.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

G. PUSH HANDLES (OPTIONAL)
WARNING
When you have an attendant, ensure that this chair has push handles.

1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to hold the rear of this chair, to prevent a fall or tip-over. Ensure you use push handles when you have an attendant.
2. Check to ensure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

WARNING

1. Do not use this chair UNLESS you ensure that both quick-release rear axles are locked. An unlocked axle may come off during use and cause a fall.
2. An axle is not locked until the quick-release button pops out fully. An unlocked axle may come off during use, resulting in a fall, tip-over or loss of control and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
   • Quick-Release Axles should be inspected for function and any signs of wear or bending. Replace as necessary.
   • Routinely Inspect. Replace if worn or bent.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

I. REAR WHEELS
WARNING
A change in set-up of the rear wheels will affect the center of balance of your chair.

1. The farther you move the rear axles FORWARD, the more likely it is that your chair will tip over backward.
2. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find the best rear axle set-up for your chair. Do not change the set-up UNLESS you ensure you are not at risk to tip over.
3. Adjust the rear wheel locks after you make any change to the rear axles.
   a. If you fail to do so, the locks may not work.
   b. Ensure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch (3 mm) when locked.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

J. REAR WHEEL LOCKS
WARNING
Rear wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a moving wheelchair.
Use them only to keep the rear wheels from rolling when your chair is at a complete stop.

1. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair when it is moving. Doing so may cause you to veer out of control.
2. To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both rear wheel locks when you transfer to or from your chair.
3. Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that side to slip and may allow the wheel to turn when you do not expect it.
4. Ensure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch (3 mm) when locked. If you fail to do so, the locks may not work.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

K. MODIFIED SEAT SYSTEMS
WARNING
Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise may alter the center of balance of this chair.
This may cause the chair to tip over.

1. Do not change the seat system of your chair UNLESS you consult your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer first.
2. Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise may affect the folding mechanism of this chair.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

L. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC
WARNING

1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat and seat back as soon as you can.
   If you fail to do so, the seat or seat back may fail.

2. Sling fabric will weaken with age and use. Look for fraying, thin spots, or stretching of fabrics especially at edges and seams.

3. “Dropping down” into your chair will weaken fabric and result in the need to inspect and replace the seat more often.

4. Be aware that laundering or excess moisture will reduce flame retardation of the fabric.

5. If Tension Adjustable upholstery is present, loosen straps or remove upholstery prior to folding or unfolding the chair.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

M. POWER ASSIST (OPTIONAL)
WARNING
Do not install a non Sunrise Medical approved power assist on any Quickie wheelchair. If you do:

1. It will affect the center of balance of your chair and may cause a fall or tip-over.
2. It will alter the frame and void the warranty.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

1. Installation
a. Place cushion on seat sling with hook and loop material side down. The beveled edge of the cushion should be in front.
b. Press firmly into place.

H. REAR AXLES
The most important adjustment on your Quickie wheelchair is the position of the rear axle. The center of gravity, wheel camber and wheelbase are all determined by the axle adjustment.
Use a torque setting of 13 Nm [115 in-lbs] when adjusting rear axle.

1. Center of Gravity 8
Moving the center of gravity to the front will lighten the force required to turn the chair. The further back the axle, the more stable the chair becomes.
The center of gravity is adjusted by moving the rear axle forward or backward on the indexed axle plate.
Moving the axle forward will increase your turning speed and lighten the front end.

2. Wheel Base Width Adjustment 9
Adjusting the wheelbase width allows the rider the option to move the wheels closer or further away from the hips. This gives the proper wheel spacing to maximize pushing efficiency.
a. Loosen the nuts, and reposition the axle sleeve (A) to the desired width.
b. Retighten nuts.

3. Seat Height Adjustment 10
To adjust the seat height, invert the axle plate and move vertically to align with the appropriate predrilled frame holes. Compare figures 8 and 10. Figure 8 represents the short seat height. Figure 10 represents the tall seat height. This adjustment allows a 1.5-in (38 mm) vertical seat height adjustment.
NOTE– A new front caster wheel should be used to correspond with any change in seat height.

4. Rear Wheel Axle Adjustment 11
Tight axle sleeves should be maintained for proper performance of the wheelchair.
a. To adjust the axle you will need a 5/16-in wrench to turn the outside axle nuts.
b. You will also need a 9/16-in wrench to lodge the ball bearings, on the opposite end of the axle, and prevent the axle from turning.
c. Turn the outside axle nut counterclockwise to tighten.
d. There should only be zero to ten thousandths of an inch (.010-in [.25 mm]) of play.

I. WHEEL LOCKS
Quickie M6 wheelchairs are shipped with two wheel locks. Wheel locks are installed at the factory unless you have requested otherwise.
Use a torque setting of 13 Nm [115 in-lbs] when setting up wheel locks.
1. Push-to-Lock Wheel Locks Adjustment 12
a. Using a 3/16-in Allen wrench, turn one of the screws in the clamp counterclockwise one-quarter turn.
b. Repeat the same process with the second of the two screws.
c. Alternately loosen the screws (two turns each) until both screws are removed.
d. To prevent wheel movement when in the locked position, slide clamp toward the rear wheel until the wheel lock is embedded into the tire.
e. Tighten screws.

J. ANTI-TIP TUBES (optional)
