4.0 Setting up the wheelchair
Sunrise Medical wheelchairs can be adjusted according to
specific needs of the user.
In this, we make a distinction between wheelchair settings and
wheelchair seating adjustment options. Settings are carried
out once, the first time the wheelchair is going to be used.
They must be executed by qualified specialist, unless explicitly
stated otherwise. Seating adjustment options can be carried
out by the user. These adjustment options do not require the
use of tools.
4.1 Seating system
The extensive settings with respect to the seating system allow
for optimum support of the body (& Seating system). The
following setting options are possible:
1. Seat depth and seat width
2. Backrest angle
3. Armrest height/width
4. Lower leg length
5. Angle of the footplate
6. Legrest angle
4.2 Seat height
Depending on the specific circumstances of the user of the
wheelchair the seat height can be set. Every optional seat
height lies within the rated slope as described in EN12184
(2014) Class B. Lowering the seat height has a positive
influence on the (dynamic) stability.
WARNING!
Increasing the seat height has a negative effect on dynamic
stability.

4.3 Centre of gravity
DANGER!
Adjusting the centre of gravity on a powered wheelchair is
both physically demanding and safety critical. Sunrise Medical
recommends that this adjustment is only performed by a
service agent/dealer approved by Sunrise Medical.
4.4 Controller height and depth
(& Seating system).
4.5 Control system programme
This wheelchair is equipped with a control system that can be
programmed by adjusting settings within the system. This is a
specialized job that needs training and can only be adjusted
with professional software. The end user is not allowed to
adjust these settings.
DANGER!
The incorrect setting of the parameters for the control system
may result in very dangerous situations.
Settings must be made by qualified specialists.
