IX. DEALER SERVICE & ADJUSTMENT
A. POSITIONING AND GROWTH ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
If a change in adjustment is necessary for growth or positioning, a healthcare professional
must be consulted before any changes are made. These adjustments are very important to
the orthopedic and neurological needs of the child. Care should be taken to make sure the
changes are physiologically and medically appropriate. Sunrise Medical suggests that any posi-
tioning or growth adjustments be made by your service provider. Do not make or allow
any of the following adjustments while the child is seated in the mobility device.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED
To set-up, adjust and maintain your device you will need the following tools:
1. 4mm hex key for some growth adjustments.
2. 5/32 hex key (for headrest collar adjustments)
3. 10mm open end wrench
4. Torque Wrench
If you plan to adjust and maintain this device yourself, Sunrise recommends that you use a
torque wrench.
NOTE -
The torque wrench must measure inch-pounds. You may buy a torque wrench and proper
metric sockets from any local hardware store.
In general, positioning and growth adjustments should be done in the following order:
1. Adjust seated area
2. Adjust back support area
3. Adjust pelvic positioning belt
4. Adjust footbed
5. Adjust head support(s)
6. Make other standard and optional adjustments that are needed
