A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY
OPTIONS
Sunrise Medical provides a choice of many wheelchair styles to
meet the needs of the wheelchair rider. However, final selection of
the type of wheelchair, options and adjustments rests solely with
you and your health care advisor. Choosing the best chair and set-
up for your safety depends on such things as:
1. Your disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (where
you live and work, and other places you are likely to use
your chair).
3. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as
anti-tip tubes,
positioning belts, or special seating systems).
B. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN
Before using this chair you, and each person who may assist you,
should read this entire manual and make sure to follow all instruc-
tions. Review the warnings often, until they are second nature to
you.
