J. TERRAIN

1. This chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as concrete, asphalt 

and indoor flooring. 

2. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil or over rough terrain. Doing so

may damage wheels, bearings, axles or motors, or loosen fasteners. 

K. STREET USE

In most states, power chairs are not legal for use on public roads. Be alert to
the danger of motor vehicles on roads or in parking lots. 

1. At night, or when it is hard to see, use reflective tape on your chair and clothing. 
2. It may be hard for drivers to see you. Make eye contact with drivers before you

proceed. When in doubt, yield until you are sure it is safe. 

L. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY

To date, the U.S. Department of Transportation has not approved any tie down
system for transporting a wheelchair in a motor vehicle. 

1. Never sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle. In an accident or sudden stop

you may be thrown from the chair. 

•  Wheelchair belts are designed to position the rider only and will not

protect you in an accident; further injury may result from the belts. 

2. Always move to an approved vehicle seat. You must be secured with proper

motor vehicle restraints. 

3. Never transport this chair in the front seat of a vehicle. It may shift and 

interfere with the driver. 

4. Always secure this chair so that it cannot roll or shift.

M. CENTER OF BALANCE

The point where this chair will tip forward, back, or to the side depends on
its center of balance and stability. 

The Center Of Balance Is Affected By: 

1. The seat height and seat angle. 
2. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution. 
3. Using this chair on a ramp or slope. 
4. The use of a back pack or other options, and the amount of added weight. 

To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over: 

1. Consult your supplier for information on modifications authorized by Sunrise

before you modify or adjust this chair. 

Note–

You may need to make additional changes to correct the center of balance. 

2. Use extreme care until you know the balance points of this chair and how to

avoid a fall or tip-over.

G. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS

Never use non-Quickie parts or make a changes to your chair unless authorized
by Sunrise. (Doing so will void the Warranty, and may create a safety hazard). 

1. If you modify or adjust this chair it may increase the risk of a fall or tip-over. 
2. Modifications unauthorized by Sunrise constitutes remanufacturing of the

wheelchair. This voids the warranty. The rider then assumes all future liability 
for the wheelchair.

H. WHEN SEATED IN A PARKED WHEELCHAIR

1. Always

turn off

all power to your chair when you are parked, even for a

moment. This will prevent: 
• Accidental movement from contact with the joystick by you or others. 
• Unintended brake release or movement from EMI sources. (

See Section V

2. Make sure that persons who help you (for example, store clerks) are aware 

of the joystick and do not touch it. If they do, your chair may move suddenly
when you do not expect it. 

I. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Your chair is not designed for use in a heavy rain storm, or in snowy or icy conditions. 

1. Contact with water or excessive moisture can cause an electrical malfunction.

The frame, motors and other chair parts are not water-tight and may rust or
corrode from the inside. To avoid a chair failure:
• Minimize exposure of your chair to a rain storm or very wet conditions. 
• Never take your chair into a shower, tub, pool or sauna. 
• Do not use your chair in fresh or salt water (such as at the edge of a stream,

lake, or ocean). 

• Make sure battery cover is secure.
• Replace joystick boot if it becomes torn or cracked.
• Make sure all electrical connections are secure.
• Dry the chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use water to clean it.

2. Proceed slowly and use extra care if you must operate your chair on a wet or

slick surface. 
• Do so only if you are sure it is safe. 
• Stop if one or both main wheels lose traction. If this occurs, you may lose

control of your chair or fall. 

• Never operate your chair on a slope or ramp if there is snow, ice, water or oil

film present. 

• When in doubt, have someone help you. 

3. When not in use, keep your chair in a clean, dry place. 

Extra caution should be used when employing the disc switch or the proximi-
ty head array as control devices. These two devices are susceptible to mal-
function when wet.
