TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

1. Basic Tool Kit:

To set-up, adjust and maintain your chair you may need the
following tools:

• Combined Phillips and flat screw driver
• Standard metric wrenches from 8mm - 14mm
• Metric Allen wrenches from 2mm - 5mm
• Imperial wrenches from 1/4" to 9/16"
• Imperial Allen wrenches from 5/64" to 1/4"

You can obtain a multi-purpose tool kit from Sunrise, or buy the
tools you need from a hardware store.

2. Torque Wrench:

If you plan to adjust and maintain this chair yourself, Quickie
recommends that you use a torque wrench.

Q-NOTE–

The wrench must measure inch-pounds (N.m). You can buy
a torque wrench and proper sockets from a hardware store.

CHECK-OUT

Be sure this chair performs to your chosen operational settings. If it
does not, turn the chair off immediately and have the dealer repro-
gram.

Q-NOTE–

Repeat this procedure until the chair performs to your spec-
ifications

WARNING

When properly set-up, this chair will operate smoothly.
Check to see that all components work properly. If you
detect a problem, be sure to correct it before use.

NOTES

1. Work Surface For Set-Up:

Use a flat surface, such as a table, to assemble, adjust and check your
chair. This makes the steps easier and helps ensure a correct set-up.

2. Fasteners:

• Many of the screws and bolts on this chair are special high-

strength fasteners and may have special coatings.

• Many nuts are of the Nylock type. They have a plastic insert

to help prevent loosening.

• Only use screws, bolts and nuts provided by Sunrise.

WARNING

1. Use of improper fasteners may cause the chair to fail.
2. Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause

damage to chair parts.

3. If bolts or screws become loose, tighten them as soon

as you can. Loose bolts or screws can cause damage to
other chair parts causing them to fail.

3. Washers & Spacers:

• Note the position of washers and spacers before disassembly.
• To avoid damage to the frame, replace all washers and spac-

ers when you reassemble parts.

4. Torque Settings:

• A torque setting is the optimal tightening for a particular fas-

tener. Use a torque wrench that measures inch-pounds to
secure screws, nuts and bolts on this chair.
