VIII. Warnings: Components & Options

M. MODIFIED SEAT SYSTEMS

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 authorized

supplier first.

2. Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise may affect the folding mechanism

of this chair.

3. Use of a seating system not provided by Sunrise is prohibited for transit use.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of con-

trol may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

N. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC

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.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of con-

trol may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

O. TRANSIT OPTION

1. Use only Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS) which

meet the requirements of SAE J2249 Recommended Practice - Wheelchair

Tiedown and Occupant Restraint Systems For Use in Motor Vehicles. Do not use

WTORS designed to rely on the wheelchair structure to transfer occupant

restraint loads to the vehicle.

2. The wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward-facing mode for a 48-

km/h frontal impact test. The wheelchair must be forward-facing during transport.

3. In order to reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants, wheelchair-

mounted accessories, such as trays and respiratory equipment, should be

removed and secured separately.

4. Postural supports and positioning devices should not be relied on for occupant

restraint.

J. QUICK-RELEASE AXLES

1. Do not use this chair UNLESS you are sure 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 con-

trol may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

K. REAR WHEELS

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 are sure 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. Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch when locked.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of con-

trol may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

L. REAR WHEEL LOCKS

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. Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch 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 con-

trol may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
