M. MODIFIED SEAT SYSTEMS

Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise may alter the center of balance of
this chair.This may cause the chair to tip over.
1. Do not change the seat system of your chair UNLESS you consult your 

authorized supplier first.

2. Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise may affect the folding mechanism

of this chair.

3. Use of a seating system not provided by Sunrise is prohibited for transit use.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

N. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC

1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat and seat back as soon as you can. If you

fail to do so, the seat may fail.

2. Sling  fabric will weaken with age and use. Look for fraying or thin spots, or

stretching of fabrics at rivet holes.

3. “Dropping down” into your chair will weaken fabric and result in the need to

inspect and replace the seat more often.

4. Be aware that  laundering or excess moisture will reduce flame retardation of

the fabric.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
