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 non-validated system (wheelchair base and seating), as a seat in
a motor vehicle could result in increased risk of severe injury or death in a
vehicular mishap.
•
Only a complete system (wheelchair base and seating) can be validated for
use as a seat in a motor vehicle.
•
The seating provided may or may not be appropriate for use as a seat in a
motor vehicle in combination with this wheelchair base.
•
Before using this system as a seat in a motor vehicle, you should verify that
the seating manufacturer has validated the seating in combination with this
wheelchair base.
•
Before using this system as a seat in a motor vehicle, you should read and
comply with all instructions for use provided by both Sunrise Medical and
the seating manufacturer as well as the instructions for use of any other
component or accessory manufacturer.
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.
N. 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 30
mph 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.
5. Do not alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts, components or seating.
6. Sudden stops or impacts can structurally damage your chair. Chairs involved in
such incidents should be replaced.
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.
