SUNRISE F16 Issue 8 24
Parallel Swing Away Arm
Before adjusting the swing-away
arm, switch off the controller to
avoid accidental displacement of
the joystick which would cause
unwanted movement of your
wheelchair.
Gently apply pressure to the side of
the controller nearest the user and as
close as possible to the front of the
controller.
The controller will move outward and
then backward before reaching its
fully back position.
Keep your fingers and clothing,
etc., clear while operating the
swing-away mechanism.
If required, your wheelchair can be
operated with the swing-away
mechanism in its fully back position,
but only for slow manoeuvering such
as positioning the wheelchair closer
to table tops, etc.
To revert to the normal driving
position, switch off the power and pull
the arm outwards and then forwards
before returning the arm to its ‘home’
position. Make sure the controller is
fully engaged in its home position
before switching on and operating
the wheelchair in the normal manner.
Caution
Do not hang any items on or over
the parallel swing-away remote
assembly as this could damage
the swing-away mechanism.
When transferring to and from
the wheelchair do not use the
remote as a means of support.

Warning
Keep fingers, clothing, etc., clear
of the swing-away mechanism at
all times.
Ensure the power is switched off
while adjusting the parallel
swing-away arm.
Only operate the wheelchair at
low manoeuvring speed when
the parallel swing-away is in use.
