V. GENERAL WARNINGS
A. WEIGHT LIMIT
WARNING
NEVER exceed the weight limit of 265 pounds (120 kg) for the Quickie 2 Lite
for combined weight of rider and items carried. If you do exceed the limit,
damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause
severe injury to the rider or others.
B. WEIGHT TRAINING
WARNING
NEVER use this chair for weight training if total weight (rider plus equipment) exceeds 265 pounds(120 kg) for Quickie 2 Lite. If you do exceed the
limit, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and
cause severe injury to the rider or others.
C. GETTING TO 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.
D. TO 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. Use anti-tip tubes unless you are a skilled rider of this chair and are
sure you are not at risk to tip over.
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.
E. 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. (This 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.

IV. NOTICE– READ BEFORE USE
A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY
OPTIONS
Sunrise provides a choice of many wheelchair styles to meet the needs of
the wheelchair rider. However, final selection of the type of wheelchair,
options and adjustments rests solely with you and your health care advisor.
Choosing the best chair and set-up for your safety depends on such things
as:
1. Your disability, strength, balance and coordination.
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 for your safety and comfort (such as anti-tip
tubes, positioning belts, or special seating systems).
B. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN
Before using this chair you, and each person who may assist you, should
read this entire manual and make sure to follow all instructions. Review the
warnings often, until they are second nature to you.
C. WARNINGS
The word “WARNING” refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that may cause
severe injury or death to you or to other persons. The “Warnings” are in four
main sections, as follows:
1. V — GENERAL WARNINGS
Here you will find a safety checklist and a summary of risks you need
to be aware of before you ride this chair.
2. VI — WARNINGS — FALLS & TIP-OVERS
Here you will learn how to avoid a fall or tip-over while you perform
daily activities in your chair.
3. VII — WARNINGS — FOR SAFE USE
Here you will learn about practices for the safe use of your chair
4. VIII — WARNINGS — COMPONENTS & OPTIONS
Here you will learn about the components of your chair and options
you can select for safety. Consult your authorized supplier and your
health care advisor to help you choose the best set-up and options
for safe use.
NOTE– Where they apply, you will also find “Warnings” in other sections of
this manual. Heed all warnings in this section. If you fail to do so a
fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to
the rider or others.

V.
J. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
Identify whether your chair has been manufactured with the Transit Option
installed.
WARNING
If your chair is NOT equipped with the Transit Option:
1. NEVER let anyone sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle.
a. ALWAYS move the rider to an approved vehicle seat.
b. ALWAYS secure the rider with proper motor vehicle restraints.
2. In an accident or sudden stop the rider may be thrown from the
chair. Wheelchair seat belts will not prevent this, and further injury
may result from the belts or straps.
3. NEVER transport this chair in the front seat of a vehicle. It may shift
and interfere with the driver.
4. ALWAYS secure this chair so that it cannot roll or shift.
5. Do not use any chair that has been involved in a motor vehicle acci-
dent.
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.
If your chair is equipped with the Transit Option: See section VIII. Warnings:
Components and Options, Parts H. Transit Use and I. Transit Option.
K. WHEN YOU NEED HELP
WARNING
For The Rider:
Make sure that each person who helps you reads and follows all warnings
and instructions that apply.
For Attendants:
1. Work with the rider ’s doctor, nurse or therapist to learn safe meth-
ods 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 tripping, unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the way.
8. ALWAYS lock 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.
4. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place.
NOTE– See “Anti-Tip Tubes” (Section VIII) for times you should not use them.
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.
F. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
1. If you modify or adjust this chair, it may increase the risk of a tipover.
2. Consult your authorized supplier BEFORE you modify or adjust your
chair.
3. We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the
change and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
4. 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.
G. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
WARNING
1. Use extra care if you must ride your chair on a wet or slick surface.
If you are in doubt, ask for help.
2. Contact with water or excess moisture may cause your chair to rust
or corrode. This could cause your chair to fail.
a. Do not use your chair in a shower, pool or other body of water.
The chair tubing and parts are not water-tight and may rust or
corrode from the inside.
b. Avoid excess moisture (for example, do not leave your chair in a
damp bathroom while taking a shower).
c. Dry your chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use water
to clean it.
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. TERRAIN
WARNING
1. Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as concrete,asphalt and indoor floors and carpeting.
2. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil or over rough terrain.
This may damage wheels or axles or loosen fasteners of 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.
I. STREET USE
WARNING
In most states, wheelchairs are not legal for use on public roads. Be alert to
the danger of motor vehicles on roads or in parking lots.
1. At night, or when lighting is poor, use reflective tape on your chair
and clothing.
2. Due to your low position, it may be hard for drivers to see you.
Make eye contact with drivers before you go forward. When in
doubt, yield until you are sure it is safe.
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.

VI. 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 balance 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.
1. The Most Important Adjustment Is:
The position of the rear wheels. The more you move the rear
wheels forward, the more likely your chair will tip over backward.
2. The Center Of Balance Is Also Affected By:
a. A change in the set-up of your chair, including:
• The distance between the rear wheels.
• The amount of rear wheel camber.
• 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 amount of
added weight.
3. To Reduce The Risk Of An Accident:
a. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out what axle and
caster position is best for you.
b. Consult your authorized supplier 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. WHEELIES
WARNING
Doing a “wheelie” means: balancing on the rear wheels of your chair, while
the front casters are in the air. It is dangerous to do a “wheelie” as a fall or
tip-over may occur. However, if you do it safely, a “wheelie” can help you
overcome curbs and obstacles.
1. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out if you are a good
candidate to learn to do a “wheelie.”
2. Do not attempt a “wheelie” UNLESS you are a skilled rider of this
chair, or you have help.
NOTE– See steps to learn to do a “wheelie.”
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. OBSTACLES
WARNING
Obstacles and road hazards (such as potholes and broken pavement) can
damage your chair and may cause a fall, tip-over or loss of control.
To avoid these risks:
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, lock them in place before you go UP
over an obstacle.
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.
E. REACHING OR LEANING
WARNING
If you reach or lean it will affect the center of balance of your chair. This
may cause you to fall or tip over. When in doubt, ask for help or use a
device to extend your reach.
1. NEVER reach or lean if you must shift your weight sideways or rise up
off the seat.
2. NEVER reach or lean if you must move forward in your seat to do
so. Always keep your buttocks in contact with the backrest.
3. NEVER reach with both hands (you may not be able to catch yourself to prevent a fall if the chair tips).
4. NEVER reach or lean to the rear unless your chair has anti-tip tubes
locked in place.
5. DO NOT reach or lean over the top of the seat back. This may
damage one or both backrest tubes and cause you to fall.
6. If You Must Reach Or Lean:
a. Do not lock the rear wheels. This creates a tip point and makes
a fall or tip-over more likely.
b. Do not put pressure on the footrests.
NOTE– Leaning forward puts pressure on the footrests and may cause the
chair to tip if you lean too far.
c. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you wish to
reach.
d. Do not try to pick up an object from the floor by reaching down
between your knees. You are less likely to tip if you reach to the
side of your chair.
e. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
This makes the chair more stable.
NOTE– To do this: Move your chair past the object you want to reach, then
back up alongside it. Backing up will rotate the casters forward.
f. Firmly grasp a rear wheel or an armrest with one hand. This will
help to prevent a fall if the chair tips.
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.

VI.
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. This keeps the rear wheels
from rolling.
NOTE– This will NOT keep your chair from sliding away from you
or tipping.
3. Make sure to keep pneumatic tires properly inflated. Low tire pressure may allow the rear wheel locks to slip.
4. Move your chair as close as you can to the seat you are transferring
to.
If possible, use a transfer board.
5. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
6. If you can, remove or swing footrests 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.
7. Make sure armrests are out of the way and do not interfere.
8. 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.
I. CURBS & STEPS
WARNING
1. Each person who helps you should read and follow the warnings
“For Safe Use” (Section VII).
2. Do not try to climb or descend a curb or step alone UNLESS you
are a skilled rider of this chair and:
a. You can safely do a “wheelie”; and
b. You are sure you have the strength and balance to do so.
3. Unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the way, so they do not
interfere.
4. Do not try to climb a high curb or step (more than 4 inches high)
UNLESS you have help. Doing so may cause your chair to exceed its
balance point and tip over.
5. Go straight up and straight down a curb or step. If you climb or
descend at an angle, a fall or tip-over is likely.
6. Be aware that the impact of dropping down from a curb or step can
damage your chair or loosen fasteners.
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.
J. STAIRS
WARNING
1. NEVER use this chair on stairs UNLESS you have someone to help
you. Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.
2. Persons who help you should read and follow the warnings “For
Attendants” (Section V., Part K) and “For Safe Use” (Section VII).
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. ESCALATORS
WARNING
NEVER use this chair on an escalator, even with an attendant. If you do, a
fall or tip-over is likely.
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.
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.
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. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDEHILLS
WARNING
Riding on a slope, which includes a ramp or sidehill, will change the center
of balance of your chair. Your chair is less stable when it is at an angle. Antitip tubes may not prevent a fall or tip-over.
1. Do not use your chair on a slope steeper than 10%. (A 10% slope
means: one foot in elevation for every ten feet of slope length.)
2. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can. (Do not
“cut the corner” on a slope or ramp.)
3. Do not turn or change direction on a slope.
4. Always stay in the CENTER of the ramp. Make sure ramp is wide
enough that you are not at risk that a wheel may fall over the edge.
5. Do not stop on a steep slope. If you stop, you may lose control of
your chair.
6. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair. This is
likely to cause your chair to veer out of control.
7. Beware Of:
a. Wet or slippery surfaces.
b. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression).
These may cause a fall or tip-over.
c. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. A drop-off as small as 3/4
inch can stop a front caster and cause the chair to tip forward.
8. To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over:
a. Lean or press your body UPHILL. This will help adjust for the
change in the center of balance caused by the slope or sidehill.
b. Keep pressure on the handrims to control your speed on a
down slope. If you go too fast you may lose control.
c. Ask for help any time you are in doubt.
9. Ramps At Home & Work– For your safety, ramps at home and work
must meet all legal requirements for your area. We recommend:
a. Width. At least four feet wide.
b. Guardrails. To reduce the risk of a fall, sides of ramp must have
guardrails (or raised borders at least three inches high).
c. Slope. Not more than a 10% grade.
d. Surface. Flat and even, with a thin carpet or other non-skid
material. (Make sure there is no lip, bump or depression.)
e. Bracing. Ramp must be STURDY. You may need bracing so ramp
does not “bow” when you ride on it.
f. Avoid A Drop Off. You may need a section at the top or bottom
to smooth out the transition.
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. TRANSFER
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 methods.
a. Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself
during a transfer.
