Fasteners: Sunrise Medical recommends that all fasteners be
checked for wear, such as loose bolts or broken components, every
6 months. Loose fasteners should be retightened according to the
set-up instructions.
2.
Replacing components: contact your Sunrise Medical authorized
dealer immediately to replace any components. Do not continue to
use the system after identifying worn, loose, or broken components.
E. Removal and replacement
After mounting and/or adjustment, the back can be easily removed from
the wheelchair if necessary.
1.
Removal
a.
Remove the locking pin from the mounting hardware.
b.
Push both the release levers forward to unlock the hardware.
c.
Once both levers are in the forward position, lift the back
straight up, using the handle located on the top of the back.
2.
Re-Attachment
a.
To re-attach the back and hardware receivers, line up the
pins to the receivers. Push the back into place on the receivers. If
properly inserted, the pins will “click” into a locked position.

locking pins provide a safety feature which prevents the back

WARNING
If you are uncertain that you have heard the locking “click”, pull up on the
back using the handle to test and ensure it has been securely locked.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your equipment, a fall, or
loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
