A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS
Sunrise provides a choice of many wheelchair styles to meet your needs.
This product is intended for single person use only. Final selection of the
type of wheelchair, options and adjustments rests solely with you and your
health care professional. Choosing the best chair for your unique mobility
needs, will depend on such things as:
1. Your disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (where you
live and work, and other places you are likely to use your chair).
3. The need for options that will improve your positioning, safety and
comfort (such as anti-tip tubes, positioning belts, or special seating
systems).
B. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN
Before using this chair 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.
