• While driving this wheelchair in the tilted position use cau-
tion.
• Do Not attempt to operate the tilt while positioned on an

Ensure all hands and body parts are clear of all tilt compo-
nents that may result in pinch points before operating the tilt.

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.
J. POSITIONING BELTS
WARNING
Use a positioning belt only to help support your pos-
ture. Improper use of such belts may cause severe
injury or death.
1. Make sure you are not at risk to slide down in the wheelchair
seat. If this occurs, you may suffer chest compression or suf-
focate due to pressure from the belt.
2. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help you from sliding
down in the seat. Consult your health care professional to
find out if you need such a device.
3. The belt must be snug, but must not be so tight that it inter-
feres with breathing. You should be able to slide your open
hand, flat, between the belt and your stomach.
4. Make sure you can easily remove the belt in an emergency.
5. Never use a positioning belt:
• In place of a motor vehicle seat belt. In an accident or
sudden stop you may be thrown from the chair. A posi-
tioning belt will not prevent this, and further injury may
result from the belt.
• As a restraint. A restraint requires a doctor’s order.
• On a rider who is comatose or agitated.
K. PUSH HANDLES
(seat frame only)
WARNING
1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to propel
and control the chair. This helps to prevent a fall or tip-over.
2. Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
L. SEATING SYSTEMS
WARNING
1. Use of a seating system not approved by Sunrise may alter
the center of balance of this chair. This may cause a fall or
tip-over.
2. Never change the seating system of your chair unless you
consult your supplier first.
M. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC
WARNING
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of the seat as soon as you can. If
you fail to do so, the seat may fail and cause you to fall. Worn
fabrics may increase the potential for a fire 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 flame retardation of the
fabric.
N. SUSPENSION
(Power base only)
WARNING
The suspension system does contain Dry Natural
Rubber. The suspension, or any other component on the
chair, does not contain any latex based product. The
suspension components are enclosed and inaccessible to
the user.
