III. NOTICE READ BEFORE USE
A.CHOOSE THE RIGHT HEAD SUPPORT
Sunrise provides a choice of many head support options, styles,
sizes and adjustments to meet the needs of the user; however, final
selection of head support equipment rests solely with you and
your health care professional. Choosing the best head support for
you depends on such things as:
1. Your size, disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. Your intended use, and your level of activity.
3. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (in
areas where you are likely to use your chair).
4. The need for options for your safety and comfort.
B. ADJUST THE SUPPORT TO YOUR ABILITY
You need to work with your doctor, nurse or therapist, and your
supplier, to fit this support, and adjust the system for your level of
function and ability.
C. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN
Before using this support system, you, and each person who may
assist you, should read this entire Manual and make sure to follow all
instructions. Review the warnings often, until they are second nature
to you.
D. WARNINGS
The word “WARNING” refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that
may cause severe injury or death to you or to other persons. Pay
special attention to these and review them often.
