The Quickie F40 has been designed for use by an individual on a daily 

basis. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. 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 118Kg who has the cognitive, physical and visual ability to 

control the vehicle safely. If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of the 

powerchair, contact your local Sunrise approved dealer for clarification, prior 

to commencing use.  

It is very important to read the relevant section of the owners manual 

when making any adjustments. If you have any queries about the use, 

maintenance or safety of your wheelchair please contact your local 

approved Sunrise Medical service agent. If you do not know of an approved
