Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of your Chunc wheelchair. It has been designed and manufac-
tured with the utmost care and attention. At Chunc we believe in continuous improvement.
If you have any questions or comments about our customer service, product literature or
products we would be pleased to receive them.
Getting started
It is recommended you do not remove your Chunc wheelchair from the box or assemble it
without a Chunc representative, your distributor/dealer or a trained healthcare professional in
attendance.
Take care when unpacking your Chunc wheelchair and ask somebody to assist you with the
heavier parts. Check all ordered parts are present, in working order and are free from damage.
In the unlikely event you find a fault, contact your supplier immediately.
Intended use, including transportation
The Chunc Junior, Junior 45° and Spica are manual attendant controlled paediatric wheelchairs.
The Chunc Adapt is a manual attendant controlled wheel base for use with a surrogate seating
system. A range of accessories is available which are intended to provide additional mobility,
postural management and adjustable seating solutions. The Chunc Spica caters for occupants
in ‘hip spica casts’ and can also be used for other requirements such as radial leg extension
braces.
All Chunc wheelchairs are intended for a single occupant including children and young adults
with moderate to specialist needs such as cerebral palsy and whose mass does not exceed
54kg /125lb. The maximum load capacity (including an occupant up to 54kg) and any auxiliary
equipment (such as communication and respiratory aids) and, if applicable, surrogate seating
for the Adapt, should not exceed 75kg/165lb.
The wheelchairs are designed for indoor and outdoor use; however they are not intended for
use on rough terrain.
The Chunc Junior, Junior 45°, Spica and Adapt are suitable for use as a forward facing seat in a
motor vehicle when used in conjunction with 4 point tie down restraints (WTORS); see section
“Safe transportation in a motor vehicle”.
For your safety
At Chunc, safety is paramount in the product’s design, development and manufacture.
However, misuse and adverse environments can lead to potentially hazardous situations that
could result in injury or even death. It is therefore essential that this manual is read by all users
before use and kept with the wheelchair for future reference.
Users of Chunc wheelchairs; please distribute copies of this manual around your home, care
