Setting The Power of Return
The power of return controls the rate at which the shock
system decompresses or rebounds. The amount of return
strength needed depends on the user’s weight, the spring
rate which is set by the air pressure, the amount of use,
the sitting style and personal preferences.
The best way to adjust the return strength is to decrease
it completely by turning the red adjuster wheel (D)
clockwise (labelled slow, “E”) and test by placing the user
in the seat. Increase the damping by slowly turning the
wheel counter clockwise (labelled fast, “E”) until the user
feels comfortable and safe without the suspension kicking
the user too far forward.
Disengaging the Mechanism
Occasionally at meal times etc it is necessary to
disengage the dynamic mechanism. To do this:
• Lock the system by switching the lever from the “
open “ to “locked” position on the lever on the shock
system, (F).
• The mechanism should not be left in the ‘locked’
position as part of normal use. You should ensure the
mechanism is returned to the ‘open’ position once the
activity demanding the lock out has been completed.
Maintenance Schedule
The rear shock systems need a minimum of maintenance
only use water and soap to clean the system.
CAUTION!
Never use a high pressure washer or any water under
pressure to clean the shock system as water may enter
the system.
Before every use:
• Check air pressure (it is normal for the shock system
to lose air pressure slightly over time) - Check to
ensure it is appropriately set for your client.
• Adjust power of return set up to ensure it is set
appropriately for your client.
WARNING!
• The extensive service of the shock system internals
must only be done by an authorized technician.
• Please note that your Sunrise Medicalrear shock is
filled with oil and nitrogen. This makes it impossible to
open the rear shock without having the knowledge
and special tools required to carry out this task.
Please do not try to open the rear shock for service
issues, this implies a very high risk of getting seriously
injured. Besides this you will not be able to
reassemble the shock any more. Opening the shock
will void its warranty.
• If there is a problem with your rear shock, cease use
of your chair immediately and contact Sunrise Medical
Seating Solutions.
