R. REAR AXLE PLATE SUSPENSION
The performance of the suspension system is determined by the compression elastomers (A). There are several
different elastomers available from Quickie which are selected based on the user's weight.
To change out elastomers, remove the 2 screws (C) (1 per side). Rotate swingarms (B) downward and the com-
pression elastomer (A) can be freely removed from its top and bottom engagement sockets.
Reverse the order to install new bushings, making sure the compression elastomers are securely engaged into
the top and bottom sockets.
S. XTR SUSPENSION (optional)
• Tuned to perform in conjunction with Quickie 5 series.
• Adjustable spring pre-load
1. If the shock ever loses oil or if it makes sounds of excessive topping out, stop use immediately and have
the shock inspected by your authorized dealer. Continued use with the shock in either of these condi-
tions could result in loss of control with possible serious and/or fatal injuries.
2. Always use genuine Quickie parts. Use of after-market replacement parts voids the warranty and could
cause structural failure to the shock. Structural failure could result in loss of control with possible serious
and /or fatal injuries

Tuning Your Shock
By matching the proper spring rate and damping adjustment, your shocks can be tuned to your weight.
When tuning suspension, always make one change at a time and write it down. This takes patience, but allows you
to understand how each change affects your ride. Keeping a record lets you know what changes you have tried
that work and suggests what changes you might try.
Washing the Deluxe Shock
Clean the shock with mild soap and a toothbrush. Keep the shaft and body eye bushings clean and greased.
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE A HIGH-POWERED WASHER FOR CLEANING THE SHOCK!
Adjusting the Shock Tension
Locate the spring preloading adjuster ring (4). Rotate adjuster ring clockwise to decrease tension. Rotate
adjuster ring counter-clockwise to increase tension.
Test your new chair settings with a spotter before proceeding with use.
T. CHECK-OUT
After the wheelchair is assembled and adjusted, it should roll smoothly and easily. All accessories should also
perform smoothly. If you have any problems, follow these procedures:
1. Review the set-up and check-out sections and operating guide to make sure chair was properly
prepared.
2. Review the troubleshooting chart at the beginning of this section.
3. If your problem persists, contact your authorized dealer. If you still have a problem after contacting your
authorized dealer, contact Sunrise customer service. See the Introduction Page for details on how to con-
tact your authorized dealer or Sunrise customer service.
