4.17 Transfer to and from the chair

WARNING!
• Sunrise Medical recommend that you consult your
healthcare professional for assistance in developing your
personal front or side transfer technique to best suit your
needs and avoid any personal injury.
• Ensure controller is switched off during transfers to avoid
unintentional movement.

4.18 Lift Up module

WARNING!
Please be aware that the lift/tilt modules present a trap hazard.
Make sure that during operation the lift/tilt modules are free
from all clothing, hands, feet and other extremities, to prevent
injury.
Do not drive on ramps or slopes with the seating in the
elevated position. Before attempting to climb or decend
a slope, return the wheelchair to a standard seated drive
position, with the backrest upright.

4.19 Castors

CAUTION!
Make sure that castors are not damaged or worn before using
your chair.
Check the castors are functioning correctly on a regular basis.

4.20 Use on a slope

Your wheelchair has been designed and tested to allow its
use on slopes or gradients of up to 10° (18%) in standard
configuration. However, you have the option of adjusting your
position with the lift/tilt option, powered centre mount legrest or
a combination of these options.
WARNING!
• Lift/tilt and legrest adjustments can affect the wheelchair
centre of gravity. Under certain conditions this might cause
instability that could lead to unintentional tipping. It may be
necessary to carry out a risk assessment if the wheelchair is
adjusted to extremes.
• Stopping distances on slopes can be significantly longer than
on level ground.
Rev. 2.0
WARNING!
• In certain circumstances your wheelchair could become
unstable. Before attempting to climb or descend a slope
or a kerb, caution should be taken when using weight shift
options (e.g. powered , recline, lift, tilt or standing), of the
seat and/or your body for a counter balance weight.
• To improve stability lean forward when driving uphill, with
the seat and back in an upright position.
• Alternatively sit in an upright position when travelling
in a forward, downhill direction or and/or tilt the seat
backwards.
• We strongly recommend that you return the seat and
back to an upright lowered and seated position before
attempting to climb or descend a slope. Failure to do this
may cause the wheelchair to become unstable.
• If you are in any doubt about the capabilities of your
wheelchair on a slope then do not attempt to drive up or
down the slope/kerb; try to find an alternative route.

4.21 Gradients: ascents

WARNING!
• When going uphill, keep the chair moving.
• Steer by carefully moving the joystick forwards making
slight Left and Right adjustments as you go.
• If you have stopped on a hill, you should start slowly.
• If necessary lean forward.

4.22 Gradients: descents

On descents, it is important not to let the wheelchair accelerate
beyond its normal level of ground speed.
WARNING!
Proceed slowly down steep descents, (below the speed of
5kph) and stop if any anxiety arises regarding directional
control.
If the chair picks up speed, centre the joystick to slow it or to
stop all forward movement, then restart slowly and do not allow
the speed to increase.
