I. REAR WHEELS
WARNING
A change in set-up of the rear wheels will affect the center of balance of
your chair.
1. The farther you move the rear axles FORWARD, the more likely it is
that your chair will tip over backward.
2. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find the best rear axle set-up
for your chair. Do not change the set-up UNLESS you are sure you are
not at risk to tip over.
3. Adjust the rear wheel locks after you make any change to the rear
axles.
a. If you fail to do so, the locks may not work.
b. Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch when
locked.
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. REAR WHEEL LOCKS
WARNING
Rear wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a moving wheelchair.
Use them only to keep the rear wheels from rolling when your chair is at a
complete stop.
1. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair when
it is moving. Doing so may cause you to veer out of control.
2. To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both rear wheel
locks when you transfer to or from your chair.
3. Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that side to
slip and may allow the wheel to turn when you do not expect it.
4. Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch when locked. If
you fail to do so, the locks may not work.
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.
K. MODIFIED SEAT SYSTEMS
WARNING
Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise may alter the center of bal-
ance of this chair. This may cause the chair to tip over.
1. Do not change the seat system of your chair UNLESS you consult
your authorized supplier first.
2. Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise may affect the folding
mechanism of this chair.
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.
VIII. W RNINGS: COMPONENTS ND OPTIONS
L. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat and seat back as soon as you can.
If you fail to do so, the seat or seat back may fail.
2. Sling fabric will weaken with age and use. Look for fraying, thin
spots, or stretching of fabrics especially at edges and seams.
3. "Dropping down" into your chair will weaken fabric and result in the
need to inspect and replace the seat more often.
4. Be aware that laundering or excess moisture will reduce flame retar-
dation of the fabric.
5. If Tension Adjustable upholstery is present, loosen straps or remove
upholstery prior to folding or unfolding the chair.
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. POWER ASSIST (OPTIONAL)
Do not install a non Sunrise Medical approved power assist on any Quickie
wheelchair. If you do:
1. It will affect the center of balance of your chair and may cause a fall
or tip-over.
2. It will alter the frame and void the warranty.
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.
