4.15 Road use
Please show the utmost consideration for the other traffic
on the road.
DANGER!
Remember that the last thing a car or lorry driver expects
to see is a wheelchair backing off the kerb into the road.
If in any doubt, do not risk crossing the road until you are
certain that it is safe. Always cross the road as quickly as
possible; there may be other traffic.
4.16 Adverse conditions
Please be aware that when driving your wheelchair in
adverse conditions, e.g. on wet grass, mud, ice, snow or
other slippery surfaces, you may experience a reduction
in the grip and traction of your wheelchair.
WARNING!
We recommend you take extra precautions in these
conditions, particularly on hills and slopes; your
wheelchair could become unstable or skid causing
possible injury.
NOTE:
Extreme variances in temperature may trigger
the self protect mechanism in the control system. If this
occurs the control system will temporarily shut down to
prevent damage to the electronics or the chair.
DANGER!
When you are using a Powered Scooter or Wheelchair,
take extra care with loose or long items of clothing.
Moving parts, such as wheels, can be potentially
dangerous or even fatal if clothing becomes entangled.
4.17 Ramps
WARNING!
When using a ramp, please ensure that it is capable
of taking the combined weight of the power chair and
yourself. If a ramp is being used to load a chair into a
vehicle, please ensure the ramp is properly secured to the
vehicle.
Always approach the ramp head-on and exercise caution.
CAUTION!
Please ensure your ramp is suitable for the product you
are transporting.
4.18 Transfer to and from the chair
WARNING!
• Sunrise Medical recommend that you consult your
health care professional for assistance in developing
your personal front or side transfer technique to best
suit your needs and avoid any personal injury.
• Ensure controller is switched off during transfers to
avoid unintentional movement.
• If a reclining arm rest is fitted, please ensure that
the reclining support bar is secured into the recline
receiver that is attached to the seat frame.
4.19 Lift and tilt modules
WARNING!
Please be aware that the lift and tilt modules present
a trap hazard. Make sure that when operating the tilt
and lift it is free from all clothing, hands, feet and other
extremities to prevent injury.
WARNING!
• Do not drive on ramps or slopes with the seat tilted,
reclined or raised. Before attempting to climb or
decline a slope, return to an upright position
• The power Tilt and power Lift/Tilt modules are factory
fitted for optimum stability and for conformance to
strict standard requirements. Changing the fitted
position of the module can reduce the stability of the
product, therefore do not change this setting.
WARNING!
Risk of trapping fingers:
The optional protection guard if fitted, secures the
moving parts within the lift / tilt mechanism. Although
better protected, always be careful not to get your fingers
trapped in the mechanism. It is recommended to re-install
the protection guard as described in the Zippie Salsa
technical manual after any service or repairs to the lift / tilt
module.
Please consult your approved Sunrise Medical Dealer.
