IV. NOTICE– READ BEFORE USE

A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS

Sunrise provides a choice of many wheelchair styles to meet the needs of the wheel-
chair rider. However, final selection of the type of wheelchair, options and adjustments
rests solely with you and your health care advisor. 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 make sure to 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 & TIP-OVERS 

Here you will learn how to avoid a fall or tip-over while you perform daily
activities in your chair.

3. VII– WARNINGS– FOR SAFE USE

Here you will learn about practices for the safe use of your chair 

4. VIII– WARNINGS– COMPONENTS & OPTIONS 

Here you will learn about the components of your chair and options you can
select for safety. Consult your authorized supplier and your health care advisor
to help you choose the best set-up and options for safe use.

NOTE– 

Where they apply, you will also find “Warnings” in other sections of this manu-
al. Heed all warnings in this section. If you fail to do so a fall, tip-over or loss
of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
