2. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (where you live and work, and other places you are likely to use your chair).

3. The need for options that will improve your positioning, safety and comfort (such as anti-tip tubes, positioning belts, or special seating systems).

B. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN

WARNING

DO NOT use this device for purposes other than what is intended by the manufacturer

1. The wheelchiar is not designed for weight training and is unsafe for use as a seat while weight training. Weight training from the wheelchair substantially changes the stability of the chair and may cause tipping.

2. DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.

3. NEVER allow someone to stand on your chair or use it as a step ladder.

4. This chair is designed for a single rider only.

5. Unauthorized modifications and use of parts or accessories not supplied or approved by Sunrise Medical may change the chair structure. This will void the warranty and may cause a safety hazard. If the warning is ignored, damage to your chair, and the potential severe injury of the person using the chair for unintended purposes can occur.

C. ATTENDANTS AND CAREGIVERS

WARNING

Before you assist a rider, be sure to read all warnings contained in this manual, and follow all instructions that apply. Be aware that after consulting a healthcare advisor, you will need to learn safe and proven body mechanics to use and create assistive methods best suited to your abilities.

D. ACCESSORIES

WARNING

Unauthorized modifications or use of parts, or accessories not supplied or approved by Sunrise Medical may change the chair structure. This will void the warranty and may cause a safety hazard.

Some problems that may occur, but are not limited to:

1. Incorrect Wheels and/or tires that put the rider at risk of a fall or tipover.

2. Adding a component to the frame, changing the structural integrity of the chair.

3. Any modification or disassembly can potentially create an unsafe situation where rider and/or attendant are put at risk.

E. KNOW YOUR CHAIR

WARNING

Every wheelchair is different. Take the time to learn the feel of this chair before you begin riding. Start slowly, with easy, smooth strokes. If you are used to a different chair, you may use too much force and tip over. If you use too much force, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

F. REDUCE THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT

WARNING

1. BEFORE riding, you should be trained in the safe use of this chair by your health care advisor.

2. Practice bending, reaching and transfers until you know the limit of your ability. Have someone help you until you know what can cause a fall or tip-over and how to avoid doing so.

3. Be aware that you must develop your own methods for safe use best suited to your level of function and ability.

4. NEVER try a new maneuver on your own until you are sure you can do it safely.

5. Get to know the areas where you plan to use your chair. Look for hazards and learn how to avoid them.

6. Sunrise recommends using anti-tip tubes in evey circumstance.

If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

G. SAFETY CHECKLIST

WARNING

Before Each Use Of Your Chair:

1. Make sure the chair rolls easily and that all parts work smoothly. Check for noise, vibration, or a change in ease of use. (They may indicate low tire pressure, loose fasteners, or damage to your chair).

2. Immediately repair any problem. Your authorized supplier can help you find and correct the problem.

3. Check to see that both quick-release rear axles are locked. When locked, the axle button will “pop out” fully. If not locked, the wheel may come off and cause you to fall.

4. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place.

If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

H. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING

1. See your healthcare advisor and have them adjust seating components any time a change or adjustment needs to be made.

2. Unauthorized modifications or use of parts not supplied or approved by Sunrise may change the chair structure. This will void the warranty and may cause a safety hazard.

If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

dent. The frame and/or components may have been changed due to the accident. Such items could be, but are not limited to: bent, loosened, and/or broken components that were subjected to an impact.

1. Based on ANSI/RESNA testing, Sunrise Medical recommends the use of a caster wheel with a minimum diameter of 5”, if the wheelchair will be overcoming obstacles up to 1/2” on a regular basis.

2. Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, indoor flooring, and carpets.

3. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil, or over rocky terrain.

4. If you use your chair on terrain that is rougher than described above there is a danger that screws and bolts will loosen prematurely, and that damage to wheels or axles could put the rider at risk of a fall, tip-over, or loss of control.

If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

K. STREET USE

WARNING

1. This product is not intended for street use.

2. Avoid streets whenever possible.

3. Obey and follow all legal pedestrian pathways, and laws that apply to pedestrians.

4. Be alert to the danger of motor vehicles in parking lots, or if you must cross a road.

If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others

WARNING

L. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY

If possible and feasible, the rider should transfer to the Original Equipment Manufacturer vehicle seat and use the OEM vehicle restraint.

Sunrise Medical does provide a WC-19 Wheelchair Tie-Down and Occupant Restraint System, otherwise called a Transit Option. To Identify whether your wheelchair has been manufactured with the Transit Option installed, look for four points of securement. Two Front points (A), and two rear points (B). These points are recognized by the securement point decal which can be found on or near the securement points. If your wheelchair is equipped with the Transit Option please review the Transit Securement supplement that was provided with the wheelchair for additional information and instructions. You can request a copy from your authorized supplier, or Sunrise medical at 1-800-333-4000 if you don’t have it.

Front Transit hook

Look for this symbol on your wheelchair. It indicates wheelchair securement points which conform to ANSI/RESNA (1998) V.1 - Section 19 and/or ANSI/RESNA (2012) V.4 WC-19. For more Transit related information, see the “Transit Securement Supplement” included with your chair.

M. WHEN YOU NEED HELP

WARNING

For The Rider:

lows all warnings and instructions that apply.

For Attendants:

1. Work with the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist to learn safe methods best suited to your abilities and those of the rider.

2. Tell the rider what you plan to do, and explain what you expect the rider to do. This will put the rider at ease and reduce the risk of an accident.

3. Make sure the chair has push handles. They provide secure points for you to hold the rear of the chair to prevent a fall or tip-over. Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.

4. To prevent injury to your back, use good posture and proper body mechanics. When you lift or support the rider or tilt the chair, bend your knees slightly and keep your back as upright and straight as you can.

5. Remind the rider to lean back when you tilt the chair backward.

6. When you descend a curb or single step, slowly lower the chair in one easy movement. Do not let the chair drop the last few inches to the ground. This may damage the chair or injure the rider.

7. To avoid tipping, or getting hung up on objects, unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, and out of the way.

8. Whenever you aren’t attending the wheelchiar, ALWAYS use the wheel-lock to secure the rear wheels, and lock anti-tip tubes in place if you must leave the rider alone, even for a moment. This will reduce the risk of a tip over or loss of control of the chair.

If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

Make sure that each person who helps you reads and fol-

VI. SAFETY WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS

A. CENTER OF BALANCE

WARNING

The point where this chair will tip forward, back, or to the side depends on its center of gravity and stability. How your chair is set up, the options you select and the changes you make may affect the risk of a fall or tip-over.

The Most Important Adjustment is:

1. a. The position of the rear wheels. The more you move the rear

wheels forward, the more likely your chair will tip over back-

ward. b. The position of the carriage. The Center of Balance is also Affected by:

2. a. A change in the set-up of your chair, including:

• The seat height and seat angle.

• Backrest angle. b. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution. c. Riding your chair on a ramp or slope. d. The use of a back pack or other options, and the location and

amount of added weight can change the balance of your chair,

To Reduce The Risk Of An Accident:

3. a. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out what axle

and caster position is best for you.

b. Consult your authorized dealer, BEFORE you modify or adjust

this chair. Be aware that you may need to make other changes to correct the center of balance.

c. Have someone help you until you know the balance points of

your chair and how to avoid a tip-over.

d. Use anti-tip tubes.

If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

B. DRESSING OR CHANGING CLOTHES

WARNING

Your weight may shift if you dress or change clothes while seated in this chair.

To reduce the risk of a fall or tip-over:

1. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible. This makes the chair more stable.

2. Lock anti-tip tubes in place. (If your chair does not have anti-tip tubes, back it up against a wall and lock both rear wheels).

If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

C. OBSTACLES

WARNING

Riding over curbs or obstacles can cause tipping and serious bodily harm. If you have any doubt that you can safely cross any curb or obstacle, ALWAYS ASK FOR HELP. Be aware of your riding skills and personal limitations. Develop new skills only with the help of a companion.

To avoid the risk of traversing obstacles:

1. Keep a lookout for danger – scan the area well ahead of your chair as you ride.

2. Make sure the floor areas where you live and work are level and free of obstacles.

3. Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.

4. Install a ramp at entry or exit doors. Make sure there is not a drop off at the bottom of the ramp.

5. To Help Correct Your Center Of Balance: a. Lean your upper body FORWARD slightly as you go UP over

an obstacle.

b. Press your upper body BACKWARD as you go DOWN from

a higher to a lower level.

6. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, do not go over an obstacle without help.

7. Keep both of your hands on the handrims as you go over an obstacle.

8. Never push or pull on an object (such as furniture or a doorjamb) to propel your chair.

If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

D. FRONT CASTER LIFT

WARNING

Front caster lift can occur when the front wheels, ordinarily in contact with the ground, are either intentionally, or unintentionally caused to lift from the ground while the rear wheels remain in contact. Pitch control (partial or full) should advisor and making sure that anti-tips are installed.

If you fail to heed this warning, you are at a high risk of damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control that may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

help to prevent a fall if the chair tips.

F. MOVING BACKWARD

WARNING

Use extra care when you move your chair backward. Your chair is most stable when you propel yourself forward. You may lose control or tip over if one of the rear wheels hits an object and stops rolling.

1. Propel your chair slowly and smoothly.

2. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, make sure to lock them in place.

3. Stop often and check to be sure your path is clear.

I. TRANSFER

7 8

WARNING

It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance and agility. Be aware that there is a point during every transfer when the wheelchair seat is not below you. To Avoid A Fall:

1. Work with your health care advisor to learn safe transfer methods a. Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself during a transfer. b. Have someone help you until you know how to do a safe transfer on your own.

2. Lock the rear wheels before you transfer.

3. Be aware that the chair can still slide and/or tip. The wheel lock keeps the rear wheels from rolling while you are perforrming the transfer.

4. Make sure that the pneumatic tires are properly inflated. Low tire pressure may allow the rear wheel locks to slip. (see table in Section G “Pneumatic Tires”

5. Move your chair as close as you can to the seat you are transferring to. If possible, use a transfer board.

6. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.

7. If you can, remove the footrests, or swing them out of the way. a. Make sure your feet do not catch in the space between the footrests. b. Avoid putting weight on the footrests as this may cause the chair to tip.

8. Make sure armrests are removed, or out of the way and do not interfere with the transfer.

9. Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can. This will reduce the risk that the chair will tip or move away from you.

If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

C. CLEANING

1. Paint Finish

a. Clean the painted surfaces with mild soap or detergent. b. Protect the paint with a coat of non-abrasive auto wax.

2. Axles and Moving Parts

a. Clean around axles and moving parts with a slightly damp (not wet) cloth. b. Wipe off or blow away any fluff, dust or dirt on axles or moving parts. c. DO NOT USE 3 in 1 oil, or WD-40 ® for lubrication. Only use Teflon based Lubricant when working on

this wheelchair.

D. REAR AXLE

1. Rear Wheel Axle Adjustment

Tight axle sleeves should be maintained for proper performance of the wheelchair.

a. To adjust the axle (A) you will need a 3/4" wrench (B) to turn the outside axle nuts (C). b. You will also need a 1/2" wrench to hold the the opposite end of the axle (D), and prevent the axle from

turning, while you are adjusting the nut. c. Turn the outside axle nut clockwise to tighten. d. There should only be zero to ten thousandths of an inch (.010") of play.

2. Moving the Rear Axle for Weight Distribution

Weight distribution between the front and rear wheels is primarily adjusted by moving the rear axles forward or rearward on the frame. Moving the axles REARWARD provides better forward and rearward tipping stability. Moving the axles FORWARD shifts more of the rider’s weight onto the REAR wheels, providing the following benefits: the front end of the wheelchair becomes lighter, thus reducing the turning effort, and with a shorter wheelbase the turning radius is reduced.

CAUTION before putting the chair into service

IMPORTANT NOTE– NOTE–

NOTE–

- Moving the Rear axles can effect the stability of the device ALWAYS check stability with the rider

Use a torque setting of 120 in.-lbs. When setting-up the axle plate. The frame must be kept horizontal when height adjustments are made. Refer to matrix in the ordering

guide for proper setting.

The axle adjustment on each side of the chair should be equal.

BB. ATTENDANT WHEEL LOCK INSTALLATION

1. Remove wheels from chair.

2. Attach Mount bracket/cable assembly to axle strut tube using 1/4" x 1-3/4" bolt (item 1) with nut and washers.

3. If push-to-lock wheel locks are already installed, remove the push-to-lock assemblies by removing the M6 bolts (item 2) and adjustment nuts (item 3),

leaving the slide plates mounted on the chair, and go to step 5. If there are no wheel locks mounted already, proceed with step 4.

4. Attach Wheel Lock Slide Plates to Roller Assembly on each side of the chair using 1/4" hex bolts (item 4) and Mounting Block (item 5). If axle of rear

wheel is above the base frame tube, orient the slide plates upward. If the axle of the rear wheel is below the base frame tube, orient the plates down-

ward. Plate may be flipped forward or reversed as needed for different wheel sizes.

5. Attach the left and right Remote Lock Assemblies (item 6) to the slide plates using the Attendant Wheel Lock Spacer Blocks (item 7), M6 x 60 screws

(item 2), lock washers (item 8), and Wheel Lock Adjustment Nuts (item 3). The adjustment nuts marked “R” and “L” are to be mounted to the right and

left side of the chair respectively. The smaller protruding oval shape on the nuts should slide inside of the slot in the slide plate. Do not tighten bolts.

Slide the Remote Lock Assemblies as far forward as they will go.

6. Re-install wheels and slide the Remote Lock Assemblies rearward until the friction block of the remote lock is approximately 1/4" (6mm) away from the

tire when unlocked. If the lock cannot be adjusted to this position, you will need to adjust the position of the slide plate until it can be adjusted as stat-

ed. Once remote locks are properly positioned, tighten bolts.

7. Attach cables to Remote Lock Assemblies by sliding the stud at the end of the cable into the slot in the Remote Lock Assembly. Pull back on the cable

sheath and slide the end of the cable sheath into the pocket on the Attendant Wheel Lock Spacer Block (item 3) as shown. Be sure that the cables are

routed away from all moving parts. Attach the cables into place on the chair with zip-ties provided.

8. Adjust the cable adjustment screws (item 9) as necessary to ensure that the wheel locks can get to their fully extended position when the pedal is

engaged. Position of the Remote Lock Assembly may need to be fine tuned to optimize the force needed to engage the pedal, depending on tire type. If

excessive force is needed to engage the pedal, cable life may be reduced. Once proper adjustment is attained, lock cable adjustment screw in position by

tightening jam nuts against mounting block.
