DANGER!
• Use of the powered adjustable seating options may influence the
stability of the wheelchair.
• Only use the powered adjustable seating options when the
wheelchair is on a flat surface! Do Not attempt to operate any power
seating option while positioned on an incline.
• Please stay clear of any powered actuator while the component is in
motion. Sunrise power mechanisms move over large ranges of travel.
Users should be aware of their surroundings while components are in
motion.
• While driving this seating system in the reclined, elevated, or tilted
position use caution.
• Do Not attempt to operate any power seating option while this
seating system is in motion.
• Do not attempt to operate the lift or tilt power seating options
around children.
• Through programming it is possible to reverse the direction of all
powered seating functions, ensure you know which direction your
seat is going to move before operating.
• 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 descend a slope, return the
wheelchair to a standard seated drive position, with the backrest
upright.
• This power system is designed to automatically reduce the maximum
driving speed to a creep and/or C-Me mode when certain power
seating limits are reached. Depending on the configuration of the
chair there might be multiple creep and/or C-Me speeds.
• Before operating your chair in creep and/or C-Me mode, read all
warnings and guidelines related to this feature. They will help in
understanding how to reduce the risk of a fall or tip-over and how to
identify environmental conditions that could affect your safety when
driving while the chair is in creep and/or C-Me speed.
1. When driving indoors or outdoors, in creep mode, it should only
be used on flat, level, and hardscape surfaces.
2. Driving in creep mode should never be attempted on uneven
terrain like: gravel, grass, bumpy surfaces, uneven pavement, or
hills.
