4.0 WARNINGS FOR COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
4.11 Power seating safety
DANGER!
1. Operation
a. While driving this seating system in the elevated or tilted
position use caution.
b. Do not attempt to operate any power seating option while
positioned on an incline.
c. Do not attempt to operate any power seating option while this
seating system is in motion.
d. Do not attempt to operate the lift or tilt power seating options
around children.
e. Through programming it is possible to reverse the direction of all
powered seating functions. Ensure you know which direction your
seat is going to move before operating. Please discuss with your
Sunrise Medical authorized dealer which direction the power
seating functions have been programmed.
2. Reduced Speed Driving (Creep and/or C-Me)
This power system is designed to automatically reduce the maximum
driving speed to a creep and/or C-Me mode when certain power seating
limits a
re reached. Depending on the confi guration of the chair there
might be multiple creep and/or C-Me speeds. Please discuss the multiple
creep and/or C-Me speeds with your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer.
Before operating your chair in creep and/or C-Me mode, read all
warnings and guidelines related to this feature. They will help in
understanding how to reduce the risk of a fall or tip-over and how to
identify environmental conditions that could aff ect your safety when
driving while the chair is in creep and/or C-Me speed.
a.
When driving indoors or outdoors, in creep mode, it should only
be used on fl at, level, and hardscape surfaces.
b. Driving in creep mode should never be attempted on uneven
terrain like: gravel, grass, bumpy surfaces, uneven sidewalks, or
hills.
c. This feature may be equipped with a system that allows the
power chair to drive up to 3 mph when the seat is elevated. This
feature is called C-Me.
d. NEVER raise the seat when the chair is being operated in the
proximity of any of the terrain types listed above, or on any
uneven surface.
3. Pinch points
Pinch points may occur when operating the powered seating options on
this system. Ensure all hands and body parts are clear of all power
seating components that may result in pinch points before operating
them.
4. Tilting power base with push handles
Do not attempt to tilt power wheelchairs by pulling down on the push
handles. Power wheelchairs have heavy bases. As such, attempting to tilt
a power seating system to traverse obstacles can damage components in
the seating system and/or modular actuators.
5. Remain clear during power accessory operation
Please stay clear of any powered actuator while the component is in
motion. Sunrise Medical power mechanisms move over large ranges of
travel. Users should be aware of their surroundings while components
are in motion.
6. Maximum user weight
Do not exceed the weight c apacity for your specifi c system/seating
system confi guration. Doing so could result in premature failure or injury.
7. Latch mode
Use caution while operating any power seating function in latched mode.
In latch mode, powered seating will not stop until a reverse command is
performed or the end of travel is met. Please consult with your Sunrise
Medical authorized dealer to receive training before using latch mode.
Failure to do so may result in potential serious injury.
4.12 Power leg rest
DANGER!
The power leg rest accessory has a maximum user weight capacity of up to
350 lbs (158 kg) depending on your system confi guration. Never exceed this
capacity while operating the powered actuator.
4.13 Lift or Tilt
DANGER!
Pinch Point

operating the lift.
WARNING!
Exceeding these weight capacities could lead to injury and/or permanent
damage to the equipment.
Note: Exceeding the weight limit will void the warranty.
4.15 Swing away joystick arm
DANGER!
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. Be aware that the width of your chair may have
increased and you may not be able to go through certain obstacles.
DANGER!
1. Only operate the wheelchair at a low and maneuverable speed when the
parallel swing-away is in use. (Fig. 4.1)
2. When transferring to and from the wheelchair, do not use the remote as
a means of support.
3. Do not hang any items on or over the parallel swing-away remote
assembly as this could damage the swing-away mechanism.
Note: hanging items on/near the joystick may cause unwanted movement and
potential of serious injury or death!
