M Seating Manual
The average wheelchair user does not exist. This is why Sunrise Medical wheelchairs can be adjusted according
to spec
ifi c needs of the user.
Pre-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.
Tool and calibration marks
An M5 Allen key is supplied with the seating system. This can be used by a Sunrise Medical authorized dealer
for adjusting all of the seating system settings.
CAUTION!
There are calibration marks on various parts of the seating system. The factory settings are indicated.
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 an authorized dealer approved by
Sunrise Medical.
Adjusting C
.O.G. infl uences stability in a standing position. Never adjust the center point of gravity (C.O.G.) on
the Q700-UP M without consulting a Sunrise Medical authorized dealer or customer service representative.
5.1 Seating system (Fig. 5.1)
The extensive settings with respect to the seating system allow for optimum support of the body. 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
5.2 Seat height
Depending on the spec
ifi 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). Lowering the seat height
has a positive infl uence on the (dynamic) stability.
WARNING!
Inc
reasing the seat height has a negative eff ect on dynamic stability.
5.3 Set seat depth (Fig. 5.2, Fig. 5.3a, and Fig. 5.3b)
1.
Use a 5.0 mm Allen Key.
2.
Remove the 2 screws (A) on the bottom of the double tilt module.
3.
Remove the two screws (B) from the armrest linkage.
4.
The back assembly can now be adjusted.
5.
Align the back so it is lined up with a number on the shift piece. Align the end of the armrest bar to the
same number and reattach the bolts. (Fig. 5.3a and 5.3b)
6.
Add the screws back to the bottom of the double tilt module in the two available holes.
CAUTION!
When a bigger seat depth is required ensure that the cables are lengthened before the mechanical
adjustment takes place.
DANGER!
We strongly recommend that you contact your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer to adjust the seat depth,
because adjusting the seat depth will aff ect the center of gravity.
5.4 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.
