4.0 SETTING UP THE WHEELCHAIR
4.0 Setting up the wheelchair
The average wheelchair user does not exist. This is why Sunrise Medical
wheelchairs can be adjusted according to specifi c needs of the user.
In this, we make a distinction between wheelchair settings and wheelchair
seating adjustment options. Settings are carried out once, the fi rst time the
wheelchair is going to be used. They must be executed by a Sunrise Medical
authorized dealer, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Some seating adjustment
options can be carried out by the user.
4.1 Seating system
The extensive settings with respect to the seating system allow for optimum
support of the body. ( Seating System)
The following setting options are possible:
1.
Seat depth and seat width
2. Backrest
angle
3. Armrest
height
4.
Lower leg length
5.
Angle of the footplate
4.2 Seat height
Depending on the specifi c circumstances of the user of the wheelchair, the
seat height can be set. Every optional seat height lays within the maximum
safe slope as described in (ISO 7176-1:2014). Lowering the seat height has a
positive infl uence on the (dynamic) stability.
DANGER!
Increasing the seat height has a negative eff ect on dynamic stability.
4.3 Center of gravity
DANGER!
Adjusting the center of gravity on a powered wheelchair is both physically
demanding and safety critical. Sunrise Medical strongly recommends that this
adjustment is only performed by a Sunrise Medical authorized dealer.
4.4 Controller height and depth
(
Seating system)
4.5 Control system program
This wheelchair is equipped with a control system that can be programmed
by adjusting settings within the system. This is a specialized job that needs
training and can only be adjusted with professional software. It is not possible
and not allowed for end users to adjust these settings
DANGER!
The incorrect setting of the parameters for the control system may result
in very dangerous situations. Settings must be made by a Sunrise Medical
authorized dealer.
4.6 Check after setup and/or adjustment of wheelchair
After the initial setup by the Sunrise Medical authorized dealer or after
making any adjustments to the wheelchair, a check to confi rm that no
interferences exist must be completed.
Interferences can happen (but not limited to) adjustments to the joystick,
armrest, specialty control mounts, leg rest, headrest, etc. After an adjustment
has been made, the movement of that device may collide or hinder the
operation of another component of the wheelchair. A check must be
performed prior to operation of the chair to ensure all moving pieces move
freely and through the entire range of motion without coming into contact
with another part of the wheelchair.
