WA RNING
WA RNING For The Rider:
1. Make sure that each person who helps you reads and follows all
warnings and instructions that apply.
2. BEFORE riding, you should be trained in the safe use of this chair
by your health care advisor.
3. After engaging wheel locks, practice bending, reaching and
transfers until you know the limit of your ability.
WA RNING For A ttendants:
1. Work with the wheelchair user’s doctor, nurse or therapist to
learn safe methods best suited to your abilities and those of the
wheelchair user.
2. Tell the wheelchair user what you plan to do, and explain what you
expect the wheelchair user to do. This will put the wheelchair
user at ease and reduce the risk of an accident.
3. Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
4. To prevent injury to your back, use good posture and proper
body mechanics. When you lift or support the wheelchair user
or tilt the chair, bend your knees slightly and keep your back as
upright and straight as you can.
5. Remind the wheelchair user to lean back when you tilt the chair
backward.
6. To avoid tripping, unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the
way (if included). ALWAYS lock the rear wheels and lock anti-tip
tubes in place if you must leave the wheelchair user alone, even
for a moment. This will reduce the risk of a tip over or loss of
control of the chair.
7. Lock wheels when assisting rider in transferring in or out of the
chair.
GENERA L WA RNINGS
1. Do not exceed the weight limit listed on the product for
combined weight of rider and items carried. If you do exceed
the limit, damage to your chair, a fall, tip over or loss of control
may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
2. Before each use, make sure the chair rolls easily and that all parts
work smoothly. Check for noise, vibration, or a change in ease
of use. (They may indicate loose fasteners, or damage to your
chair.)
3. Repair any problem. Your authorized supplier can help you find
and correct the problem.
4. If you modify or adjust this chair, it may increase the risk of a tip-
over UNLESS you make other changes as well. Always, consult
your authorized supplier BEFORE you modify or adjust your
chair.
5. Unauthorized modifications or use of parts not supplied or
approved by Sunrise may change the chair structure. This will
void the warranty and may cause a safety hazard.
6. Contact with water or excess moisture may cause your chair to
rust or corrode. This could cause your chair to fail.
