L. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
If possible and feasible, the rider should transfer to the Original Equipment
Manufacturer vehicle seat and use the OEM vehicle restraint.
Sunrise Medical does provide a Wheelchair Tie-Down and Occupant Restraint
System, otherwise called a Transit Option. To Identify whether your
wheelchair has been manufactured with the Transit Option installed, look
for four points of securement: two front points (A) and two rear points (B).
These points are recognized by the securement point decal which can be found
on or near the securement points. If your wheelchair is equipped with the
Transit Option please review the Transit Securement supplement that was
provided with the wheelchair for additional information and instructions. You
can request a copy from your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer, or Sunrise
Medical at 1-800-333-4000 if you don’t have it.
WARNING
If your chair is NOT equipped with the Transit Option:
1. NEVER let anyone sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle.
a. ALWAYS move the rider to an approved vehicle seat.
b. ALWAYS secure the rider with proper motor vehicle restraints.
2. In an accident or sudden stop the rider may be thrown from the chair.
Wheelchair seat belts will not prevent this, and further injury may result
from the belts or straps.
3. NEVER transport this chair in the front seat of a vehicle. It may shift and
interfere with the driver.
4. ALWAYS secure this chair so that it cannot roll or shift.
5. DO NOT use any wheelchair that has been involved in a motor vehicle
accident. A sudden stop and/or collision may structurally damage your
wheelchair. There may have been a change to the structure of the chair,
and/or damaged or broken some of the components. Wheelchairs
involved in sudden stops should be inspected for possible failures in
frame and/or components. Frame damage may be represented by but
not limited to: visual cracks, dents, metal distortion, bends, or damage
to the seating mounting. If the chair no longer drives straight, it could be
damaged. If the wheelchair has been involved in an accident, discontinue
use immediately and contact your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer for
a thorough inspection. If damage is questionable or if there is concern
regarding the condition of the chair, Sunrise Medical recommends
replacement of the chair.
NOTE- The warranty is void on any wheelchair that is involved in a collision.
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.
M. WHEN YOU NEED HELP
WARNING
For The Rider: Make sure that each person who helps you reads and follows all
warnings and instructions that apply.
For Attendants:
1.
Work with the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist to learn safe methods
best suited to your abilities and those of the rider.
2. Tell the rider what you plan to do, and explain what you expect the rider
to do. This will put the rider at ease and reduce the risk of an accident.
3. Ensure the chair has push handles. They provide secure points for you to
hold the rear of the chair to prevent a fall or tip-over. Check to ensure
push handle grips will not r
otate or slip off .
4. To prevent injury to your back, use good posture and proper body
mechanics. When you lift or support the rider or tilt the chair, bend your
knees slightly and keep your back as upright and straight as you can.
5. Remind the rider to lean back when you tilt the chair backward.
6. When you descend a curb or single step, slowly lower the chair in one
easy movement. Do not let the chair drop the last few inches to the
ground. This may damage the chair or injure the rider.
7. To avoid tipping, or getting hung up on objects, unlock and rotate anti-tip
tubes up, out of the way.
8. Whenever you aren’t attending the wheelchair, ALWAYS use the wheel-
lock to secure the rear wheels, and lock the anti-tip tubes in place if you
must leave the rider alone, even for a moment. This will reduce the risk
of a tip over or loss of control of the chair.
If you fail to ask for help when in doubt, you run a high risk of a fall, tip-over or
loss of control that may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
N. CHOKING HAZARD
WARNING
NOTE- Your chair consists of many small parts that could present a choking
or swallowing hazard to young children. Take care to keep loose parts out of
reach when doing any work on the chair. Seek immediate help if a loose part is
swallowed by a child.
O. PINCH POINT
WARNING
NOTE- Your wheelchair has many moving parts that can create pinch points
and possible fi nger traps. Be aware when making any adjustments, when
folding and unfolding, when moving, and any other situation that could cause a
pinch point situation.
