4.0 WARNINGS FOR COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
WARNING!
If you use parts or make changes not authorized by Sunrise Medical it may
create a safety hazard and will void the warranty.
4.1 Armrests
DANGER!
1. Armrests will not bear the weight of the user.
2. Never lift this system by its armrests. They may come loose or break.
3. When transferring the user in or out of the seating system, never use the
armrest as a means of support.
4.2 Cushions
WARNING!
1. Standard foam cushions and other body supports are not designed for
the relief of pressure.
2. If you suff er from pressure sores, or if you are at risk that they will occur,
you may need a special seating system or a device that will help control
your posture.
•
Consult your health care provider to fi nd out if you need such a
device for your comfort and health.
4.3 Fasteners
WARNING!
Many of the screws, bolts, and nuts on this system are special high-strength
fasteners. Use of improper fasteners may cause your system to fail.
1.
Only use fasteners provided by Sunrise Medical.
2. If fasteners become loose, tighten them immediately.
3. Do not over- or under-tighten fasteners as this can cause damage to your
system or it's components.
4. Always tighten to specifi ed torque. Specifi ed torque values are listed in
Section 9.
5. Do not reuse fasteners.
4.4 Footplate and footrests
DANGER!
1. At the lowest point, footrests should be at least 2-in (51mm) off the
ground. If set too LOW, they may "hang up" on obstacles you can expect
to fi nd in normal use. This may cause the system to stop suddenly and tip
forward.
2. To avoid a trip or fall when you transfer:
•
Ensure your feet do not "hang up" or get caught in the space
between the footrests.
• Avoid putting weight on the footrests, as the system may tip
forward.
• Remove or swing the footrests out of the way, if possible.
3. The footrest should always be in the down position when operating the
system.
4. Never lift this system by the footrests. Footrests detach and will not bear
the weight of this system. Lift this system only by non-detachable parts of
the main frame.
4.5 Positioning belts
DANGER!
The positioning belt is predominately used to support your posture. It can
also be used to limit slipping and/or sliding that you might experience when
the system is in motion. The positioning belt is not a transit rated safety belt
and should not be used in the place of a seat belt while being transported in
a motor vehicle. Improper use of positioning belts may cause severe injury or
death. If you use a positioning belt, ensure you follow the recommendations in
this section:
1.
Ensure the rider does not slide down in the seating system seat. If this
occurs, the rider may suff er chest compression or suff ocate due to
pressure from the belts.
2. The belts must be snug, but must not be so tight that they interfere with
breathing. You should be able to slide your open hand, fl at, between the
belt and the rider.
3. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep the rider from sliding
down in the seat. Consult with the rider's doctor or health care provider
to fi nd out if the rider needs such a device.
4. Use positioning belts only with a rider who can cooperate. Ensure the
rider or attendant can easily remove the belts in case of emergency.
5. NEVER use positioning belts:
a.
As a patient restraint. A restraint requires a doctor's order.
b. On a rider who is comatose or agitated.
c. As a motor vehicle restraint. In an accident or sudden stop the
rider may be thrown from the system. Seating system positioning
belts will not prevent this, and further injury may result from the
belts or straps.
If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your system, a fall, tip-over, or
loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
4.6 Push handles
DANGER!
1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to propel and
control the system. This helps to prevent a fall or tip-over.
2. Check to ensure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off .
4.7 Seating systems
DANGER!
1. Use of a seating system not approved by Sunrise Medical may aff ect or
interfere with other parts of the system.
2. Never change the seating system unless you consult your Sunrise Medical
authorized dealer fi rst.
3. Never raise your seating system to a height of more than 19-in (482mm)
(measuring from the front of the seat pan to the fl oor) with all actuators
in their home position.
4.8 Upholstery fabric
DANGER!
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of the seat sling and/or seat back as soon as
possible. If you fail to do so, the seat may fail and cause you to fall. Worn
or torn fabrics may increase the potential for a fi re hazard.
2. Fabric will deteriorate with age and use. Look for fraying, thin spots, or
stretching of fabric at rivet holes. Replace fabric as required.
3. Be aware that washing may reduce fl ame retardation qualities of the
fabric.
4.9 Wiring and connectors
WARNING!
Never pull on cables directly. This can result in wires breaking inside the
connector or harness. To remove a plug or connector, always grasp the plug or
connector itself.
4.10 Assignable controls
DANGER!
It is possible to assign a function to an input control (buttons, jacks) to your
seating system. If controls have been assigned to perform a dual or alternate
function, ensure you know what each control operates. Please contact your
Sunrise Medical authorized dealer if you do not receive this information. Failure
to do so may result in damage and/or injury.
