DANGER!
•
To avoid hand injuries do not grab in between the spokes
or between the rear wheel and wheel lock when driving the
wheelchair.
•
In particular when using lightweight metal handrims, fingers
will easily become hot when braking from a high speed or
on long inclines.
•
Only attempt stairs with the help of an attendant. There is
equipment available to help you, e.g. climbing ramps or
lifts, please use them. If there is no such equipment
available, then the wheelchair must be tipped and pushed,
never carried, over the steps (2 helpers). We recommend
that users over 100 kg in weight do not use this stairway
manoeuvre!
•
In general, any anti-tip tubes fitted must be set beforehand,
so that they cannot touch the steps, as otherwise this could
lead to a serious tumble. Afterwards the anti-tip tubes must
be set back to their correct position.
•
Make sure that the attendant only holds the wheelchair
using securely mounted parts (e.g. not on the footrests or
the sideguards).
•
When using the lifting ramp make sure that the anti-tip
tubes fitted are positioned outside the danger area.
•
Secure your wheelchair on uneven ground or when
transferring (e.g. into a car) by using the wheel locks.
•
For high amputees you must use anti-tip tubes.
•
Before setting off, check that your tyre pressure is correct.
For rear wheels it should be at least 3.5 bar ( 350 kPa).
The max. pressure is indicated on the tyre.The knee-lever
brakes will only work if there is sufficient tyre pressure and
if the correct setting has been made (see the Chapter on
“Wheel locks”).The wheel locks are not intended to brake
your wheelchair. They are only there to ensure that your
wheelchair does not begin rolling unintentionally. When you
stop on uneven ground, you should always use the wheel
locks to prevent such rolling. Always apply both wheel
locks; otherwise, your wheelchair could tip over.
•
The wheel locks have not been designed to be used as
brakes for a moving wheelchair.
•
Always make use of elevators and ramps. If these are not
available, you should request the help of an attendant.
They should only grip the wheelchair at securely mounted
parts. If anti-tip tubes are fitted these must be folded away.
A wheelchair should never be lifted with an occupant; it
should only be pushed.
•
If the seat and back sling are damaged, you must replace
them immediately.
•
Do not lift or carry the wheelchair by the backtubes or the
pushhandles.
•
Do not fit any unauthorized electronic equipment, powered
or mechanically operated mobility drives, hand-bike or any
other device that changes the intended use or the structure
of the wheelchair. Any combination with other medical
devices requires the approval of Sunrise Medical.
•
Be careful with fire, in particular with burning cigarettes.
Seat and back slings can be set alight.
•
If and whenever possible, during a journey in a specially
fitted vehicle for disabled people, vehicle occupants should
use the seats in the vehicle and the appropriate restraint
system. This is the only way to ensure that occupants
will have the maximum protection if there is an accident.
When using safety elements offered by SUNRISE
MEDICAL and using a specially designed safety system,
lightweight wheelchairs can be used as a seat when being
transported in a specially fitted vehicle. (See the Chapter
on “Transportation”).
•
Always make sure that the quick-release axles on the rear
wheels are set properly and lock in. If the button on the
quick-release axle is not pressed in, the rear wheel cannot
be removed.
•
In particular when using lightweight metal handrims, fingers
will easily become hot when braking from a high speed or
on long inclines.
•
If the wheelchair is subject to direct sunlight for a long
period of time, then parts of the wheelchair (e.g. frame,
legrests, brakes and sideguard) may become hot (>41°C).
•
To avoid hand injuries do not grab in between the spokes
or between the rear wheel and wheel lock when driving the
wheelchair.
•
When using the chair outside, always wear leather gloves
which will increase your grip and protect the fingers from
dirt and overheating.
•
Do not use the wheelchair on slopes > 10°.
•
The Dynamic safe slope is dependant on the chair
configuration, the users abilities and the style of riding.
As the users abilities and style of riding cannot be pre-
determined then the max safe slope cannot be determined.
Therefore this must be determined by the user with the
assistance of an attendant to prevent tipping. It is strongly
recommended that inexperienced users have Ant-tips fitted.
Do not use your wheelchair on muddy or icy ground.Do not
use your wheelchair where pedestrians are not allowed.
•
With all moving parts there is a natural risk of finger traps.

slippery, or unsound surfaces.Do not use the wheelchair in
hazardous environments.
