B. INTENDED USE
The Quickie and Zippie IRIS series of wheelchair's intended use is to provide
mobility to persons limited to a sitting position.
NOTE: Please note that driving a wheelchair requires suffi cient cognitive, physical
and visual skills. The user must be able to assess the eff ects of actions during the
operation of the wheelchair and, if necessary, to correct them. These capabilities
and the safe use of the additionally attached components cannot be assessed by
Sunrise Medical as a manufacturer. We cannot accept any liability for any damage
resulting from this.
Please refer to the operating instructions of the wheelchair and the additionally
mounted components. Instruct the user in the safe use of the wheelchair and the
additionally mounted components. Inform users of specifi c warnings that need to
be read, understood, and respected.
DO NOT use this device for purposes other than what is intended by the
manufacturer.
1. The wheelchair is not designed for weight training and is unsafe for use as a
seat while weight training. Weight training from the wheelchair substantially
changes the stability of the chair and may cause tipping.

damage to your chair, and the potential severe injury of the person using the
chair for unintended purposes can occur.

V. GENERAL WARNINGS
E. KNOW YOUR CHAIR
Every wheelchair is diff erent. Take the time to learn the feel of this chair before
you begin riding. Start slowly, with easy, smooth strokes. If you are used to a dif-
ferent chair, you may use too much force and tip over. If you use too much force,
damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe
injury to the rider or others.
F. REDUCE THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT
1. BEFORE riding, you should be trained in the safe use of this chair by your
health care advisor.
2. Practice bending, reaching and transfers until you know the limit of your abili-
ty. Have someone help you until you know what can cause a fall or tip-over
and how to avoid doing so.
3. Be aware that you must develop your own methods for safe use best suited
to your level of function and ability.
4. NEVER try a new maneuver on your own until you are sure you can do it
safely.
5. Get to know the areas where you plan to use your chair. Look for hazards
and learn how to avoid them.
6. Sunrise recommends using anti-tip tubes in every circumstance.
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.
G. SAFETY CHECKLIST
Before Each Use Of Your Chair:
1. Make sure the chair rolls easily and that all parts work smoothly. Check
for noise, vibration, or a change in ease of use. (They may indicate low tire
pressure, loose fasteners, or damage to your chair).
2. Immediately repair any problem. Your authorized supplier can help you fi nd
and correct the problem.
3. Check to see that both quick-release rear axles are locked. When locked, the
axle button will "pop out" fully. If not locked, the wheel may come off and
cause you to fall.
4. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place.
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.

LESS you make other adjustments as well.

3. We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change,
and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
4. Unauthorized modifi cations by the end-user, dealer or any other individual,
including the use of parts not supplied or approved by Sunrise may change
the chair structure. This will void the warranty and may cause a safety
hazard.
