Safety warnings and user tips
Safety warnings
Safety is a very important with any vehicle that is power driven, here are some helpful tips to safeguard your use.
WARNING
The word “WARNING” refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that may cause severe injury or death to you
or to other persons.
WARNING
General
Always ensure that your wheelchair is switched off before attempting to mount or dismount.
Always ensure that you are able to operate all controls from a comfortable position. Paying attention to your posture is essential to ensure your continued comfort and well being.
Always make sure that you can be seen clearly, especially if you intend using your wheelchair in poor light.
WARNING
WARNING
Emergency freewheel
Please remember that you have no braking facility when the freewheel lever is moved from the normal drive position to the freewheel position.
The wheelchair must never be left with the lever in the freewheel position. For a fuller description of this facility and its limitations to use please see later section.
WARNING
Emergency braking
The simplest and safest way to stop the wheelchair is to release the joystick control lever (see Control pod section). This will bring the chair to halt in a controlled manner.
Switching the control system off whilst the chair is in motion will also bring the chair to a halt. This latter method is not recommended as the stopping action is very abrupt.
Kerbs
Never descend a kerb forwards. Please read carefully the section on kerb climbing in this manual before attempting to mount and dismount any kerbs in your wheelchair.
Do not attempt to climb or dismount a series of steps. It is unsafe to do so and could cause personal injury or damage the chair. The F55 has only been designed to climb a single step or kerb.
WARNING
Sharp turns
Full speed turns should not be attempted. If you need to turn sharply you must reduce your speed with the joystick or speed setting. This is particularly important when travelling across or down a slope. Disregarding this
advice could lead to your

tipping over.
Safety warnings and user tips
WARNING
Batteries
Your wheelchair is supplied as standard from Sunrise Medical with maintenance­free batteries. These only require regular charging.
Do not, under any circumstances, tamper with the batteries. If in any doubt contact your local service agent.
Do not connect the battery charger to the mains supply until after you have connected the charger to the wheelchair. Before charging, please read the relevant section in this manual. Take care with battery acid which is very dangerous. It can cause burns to the skin as well as damage to floors, furniture and your wheelchair. If it comes into contact with the skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If it comes into contact with the eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical attention immediately. Acid can be neutralised with baking soda and water. Take care to keep batteries upright at all times, especially when transporting your wheelchair.
WARNING
Cleaning seating
It is important that you clean all upholstery including headrest, armrests, calfpads and footplates on a regular basis using the correct methods as stated in this manual. This is important should the wheelchair be used by more than one person to ensure there is no cross infection.
WARNING
Cleaning controls
Should the control of your wheelchair become soiled or dirty, it can be wiped with a damp cloth with a dilute disinfectant until clean. This is important should the wheelchair be used by more than one person to ensure there is no cross infection.
WARNING
Cleaning paintwork
Clean with a damp, soapy cloth. Make sure that it is completely dry before using. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cloths.
WARNING
Surface temperatures
Storing the vehicle in a hot environment or in direct sunlight can cause surfaces to become hot.
NOTE: Before using your vehicle for the very first time, please charge your batteries for a period of 24 hours.
Issue 7 6
WARNING
Upholstery
Please ensure ONLY genuine Sunrise Medical upholstery is fitted to your product by an authorised Sunrise Dealer
Safety warnings and user tips
WARNING
Wheelchair range
The range of your wheelchair can be affected by many factors such as user weight, terrain, ambient temperature and battery condition. The stated range in the sales literature should be seen as the theoretical maximum and may not be attained by every user.
We recommend that every user initially limit their journey to half the stated range, until they have confidence in the actual range their wheelchair can attain. If your battery indicator is showing a low charge then do not attempt a long journey unless you are confident in reaching your destination and also returning to your home without the risk of being left stranded.
WARNING
Use on a slope
Your wheelchair has been designed and tested to allow its use on slopes or gradients of up to 1 in 4 (25%). However, if you have the option of adjusting the angle of seating with either tilt seat or recline back, then in certain circumstances your wheelchair could become unstable. Before attempting to climb or decline a slope, we strongly recommend that you return the seat and back to an upright position.
Mobile telephones and two - way radios
When operating cordless or mobile telephones, two way radios, walkie­talkies, C.B. Amateur Radio or other transmitting devices, the following must be noted:
WARNING
Mobile telephones or two-way radios devices must not be used while operating the vehicle.
Use of mobile phones or two way radios can cause excessively strong electromagnetic fields. This may interfere with the vehicles electronic systems. If mobile phones or two way radios are required to be used, the vehicle must be brought to a halt and the power turned off before any such device is switched on or used.
WARNING
Powered seat tilt and recline
Danger of injury by moving parts: Make sure that neither you nor anyone else is injured by placing hands, feet or other body extremities under the seat whilst operating the power options.
WARNING
Wheelchair motors
Failure to do this may cause the wheelchair to become unstable.
If you are in any doubt about the capabilities of wheelchair on a slope then do not attempt to drive up or down the slope, try to find an alternative route.
After prolonged use, the motors will produce heat which is radiated through the motors outer casing. Do not touch the motors outer casing for at least 30 minutes after using the wheelchair, to allow it to cool.

NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, use a torque setting of 13.5Nm for all fasteners.
WARNING
Speciality Controls
Any specialist controls may have a detrimental effect on stability. We strongly recommend you apply caution when negotiating slopes and inclines.

Terrain
Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as concrete, asphalt and indoor floors and carpeting.
Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil or over rough terrain. This may damage wheels or axles, loosen fasteners or could make your chair unstable.

WARNING
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. We recommend you take extra precautions in these conditions, particularly on hills and slopes, your wheelchair could become unstable or skid causing possible injury. 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.
WARNING
Ramps
