1.0 Your Wheelchair
We at Sunrise Medical want you to get the best out of your
SALSA wheelchair. This Owner’s Manual will familiarise
you with the chair and its features. It contains hints on
everyday usage and general care in addition to information
on the high quality standards which we adhere to and
details about the guarantee.
Your wheelchair should be delivered fully configured
for your use; there are a wide range of components
and adjustments available on the SALSA. For further
information about these you should contact your Sunrise
Medical authorised dealer.
Your wheelchair will reach you in excellent condition having
been personally inspected before leaving our factory.
Following the guidelines for maintenance and cleaning
your wheelchair will maintain its first class condition and
give you complete satisfaction.
The SALSA has been designed for use by an individual on
a daily basis. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
(Class B). It is only intended for use as a pavement vehicle,
but may also be used when crossing between pavements.
This vehicle has been designed for a single occupant of
limited mobility up to the weight of 140Kg (dependant on
options chosen for your chair).
NOTE:
up to 160kg user weight with Salsa R and Rehab
seat.
The end user must have the cognitive, physical and visual
ability to control the vehicle safely on a maximum slope of
14% (8°). If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of the
power chair, contact your local Sunrise Medical approved
supplier for clarification, prior to commencing use.
It is very important to read the relevant section of the owner’s
manual when making any minor adjustments. Consult the
Technical Manual or your local Sunrise Medical authorised
dealer for more complex adjustments.
If you have any queries about the use, maintenance
or safety of your wheelchair, please contact your local
