IV. NOTICE - READ BEFORE USE

A.CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS

Sunrise provides a choice of many power wheelchair styles, sizes and adjustments to meet the needs of the

user. However, nal selection of a wheelchair rests solely

with you and your health care professional. Choosing the best chair for you depends on such things as:

1.Your size, disability, strength, balance and coordination.

2. Your intended use, and your level of activity.

3. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (in areas where you are likely to use your chair).

4. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as positioning belts or special seating systems).

B. ADJUST CHAIR TO YOUR ABILITY

You need to work with your doctor, nurse or therapist, and

your supplier, to t this chair and adjust the controller

settings for your level of function and ability.

C. 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.

D.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 — EMI

Here you will learn about electromagnetic interference and how it can affect your chair.

2. VI — GENERAL WARNINGS

Here you will nd a safety checklist and a summary of

risks you need to be aware of before you ride this chair.

3. VII — WARNINGS — COMPONENTS & OPTIONS

Here you will learn about your chair. Consult your

supplier and your health care professional to help you choose the best set-up and options for your safety.

4. XI — BATTERIES

Here you will learn about battery and charger safety, and

how to avoid injury.

Q-NOTE- Where they apply, you will also nd “Warnings” in

other sections of this Manual.

Throughout this owner’s manual and on the wheelchair

you will see the icons listed below to identify warnings and

potential hazards. It is important to read and understand all

of them and understand them.

WARNING! These warnings must be followed, failure to do

so may cause personal injury or may damage the wheelchair.

PROHIBITED! Prohibited actions must never be performed.

Performing an action that is prohibited can cause personal injury or may damage the

wheelchair.

Q-NOTE: Q-Notes are informative statements to help

further explain actions, warnings or product detail.

ESD: Electrostatic Discharge has a potential to

damage printed circuit boards unless handled

correctly. When the ESD symbol is shown throughout the owner’s manual, use the Proper Handling Techniques Insert supplied

with the chair to properly handle printed circuit boards.

V. EMI (ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE)

WARNING

Heed all warnings to reduce the risk of unintended brake release or chair movement:

1. Beware of the danger from hand-held transceivers. Never turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while power to your chair is on. Use extra care if you believe that such a device may be in use near your chair.

2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid coming close to them.

3. If unintended movement occurs, turn your chair off as

soon as it is safe to do so.

A.WHAT IS EMI?

WARNING

1. EMI means: electromagnetic (EM) interference (I). EMI

comes from radio wave sources such as radio transmitters

and transceivers. (A “transceiver” is a device that both sends and receives radio wave signals).

Quickie Xplore 2 Owner’s Manual Rev. A 5

2. There are a number of sources of intense EMI in your

daily environment. Some of these are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not, and you may not be able to avoid them.

3. Powered wheelchairs may be susceptible to

electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)

transmitters, two way radios, and cellular phones.

4. EMI can also be produced by conducted sources or electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Page 6

B. WHAT EFFECT CAN EMI HAVE?

WARNING

1. EMI can cause your chair, without warning, to:

• Release its brakes

• Move by itself

• Move in unintended directions If any of these occurs, it could result in severe injury to you or

others.

2. EMI can damage the control system of your chair. This could

create a safety hazard, and lead to costly repairs.

C. SOURCES OF EMI

WARNING

The sources of EMI fall into three broad types:

1. Hand-Held Transceivers: The antenna is usually mounted directly on the unit. These include:

• Citizens band (CB) radios

• “Walkie-talkies”

• Security, re and police radios

• Cellular phones

• Lap-top computers with phone or fax

• Other personal communication devices

Q-NOTE- These devices can transmit signals while they are

on, even if not in use.

2. Medium-Range Mobile Transceivers:

These include two-way radios used in police cars, re trucks,

ambulances and taxi cabs. The antenna is usually mounted on the outside of the vehicle.

3. Long-Range Transceivers: These include commercial radio and TV broadcast antenna

towers and amateur (HAM) radios. NOTE- The following are not likely to cause EMI problems: Laptop computers (without phone or fax), Cordless phones, TV

sets or AM/FM radios, CD or tape players.

3. The conguration tested and found to be immune to at least 20

V/m is: Quickie Xperience power wheelchair with a righthand

mounted P & G remote joystick system, 18” seat width, 18” seat depth, dual post height adjustable armrests, xed tapered legrests with one piece solid footplate, and Gp 24 gel cell

batteries.

4. The following specialty input devices have an unknown effect on the immunity level because they have not been tested with

the Quickie Xperience and P & G control system:

• Breath Control

• Proportional Head

Control • Wafer Board

• Tri-Switch Head Array

• Proportional Mini-Joystick/Chin

Control

• Heavy Duty Switched Joystick

• Buddy Button

• Treadle Switch

• Micro Light

• Ribbon Switch

• Star Board

• Proximity Head Array

• Zero Touch Switch

• Penta Switch

• 4-Zero Touch Switch

• Plate Switch

• 5-Zero Touch Switch

• Soft Switch

• Disc Switch

• Grasp Switch

• Wobble Switch

WARNING

Individuals with physical limitations requiring the use of a specialty

control input device known not to be immune to 20V/m, or not

known, should exercise extra care around known sources of EMI.

WARNING

There is no way to know the effect on EMI if you add accessories

or modify this chair. Any change to your chair may increase

the risk of EMI. Parts not specically tested or parts from other suppliers have unknown EMI properties.

F. REPORT ALL SUSPECTED EMI INCIDENTS

WARNING

You should promptly report any unintended movement or brake release. Be sure to indicate whether there was a radio wave source near your chair at the time. Contact: Sunrise Medical,

Customer Service Department at (800) 263-3390

D.DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE

WARNING

EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get closer to the source. For this reason, EMI from hand-held devices is of special concern. (See C.1 above) A person using one of these devices can bring high levels of EM energy very close to your chair without

you knowing it.

E. IMMUNITY LEVEL

WARNING

1. The level of EM is measured in volts per meter (V/m). Every power wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain level. This is called its “immunity level”.

2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is

believed that a 20 V/m immunity level will protect the power wheelchair user from the more common sources of radio waves.

Quickie Xplore 2 Owner’s Manual Rev. A 6

G.EMI FROM CHAIR

WARNING

The chair itself can disturb the performance of electromagnetic

elds such as emitted by alarm systems of shops.

Page 7

Page 8

F. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS

PROHIBITED!

Never use non-Quickie parts to replace Quickie provided parts or

make changes to your chair unless authorized by Sunrise. (Doing so will void the warranty and may create a safety hazard.)

WARNING

Accessories designed by manufacturers other than Sunrise, is not available through Sunrise the order process have not been tested or approved for use by Sunrise.

1. If you modify or adjust this chair it may increase the risk of a fall

or tip-over.

2. Modications unauthorized by Sunrise constitutes

remanufacturing of the wheelchair. This voids the warranty. The user then assumes all future liability for the wheelchair.

G.WHEN SEATED IN A PARKED WHEELCHAIR

WARNING

1. Always turn off all power to your chair when you are parked, even for a moment. This will prevent:

• Accidental movement from contact with the joystick by you or

others.

• Unintended brake release or movement from EMI sources. (See

Section V)

2. Make sure that persons who help you (for example, store clerks) are aware of the joystick and do not touch it. If they do,

your chair may move suddenly when you do not expect it.

WARNING

Extra caution should be used when employing the disc switch or

the proximity head array as control devices. These two devices are susceptible to malfunction when wet.

I. TERRAIN

WARNING

1. This chair will perform at optimum on rm, even surfaces such as concrete, asphalt and indoor ooring.

2. Although equipped with suspension, the performance can be substantially reduced on uneven surfaces and rough terrain.

3. Do not operate the chair on sand, loose gravel or soil. Doing so may damage wheels, bearings, axles, motors or loosen fasteners.

J. STREET USE

WARNING

In most provinces, power chairs are not legal for use on public

roads. Be alert to the danger of motor vehicles on roads or in parking lots.

1. Do not operate this wheelchair on any roadways that do not

allow non-motor vehicle trafc.

2. When visibility is limited by either darkness or weather conditions, do not operate the chair on any roadways.

3. It may be hard for drivers to see you. Make eye contact with

drivers before you proceed. When in doubt, yield until you are sure it is safe.

H.ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

WARNING

Your chair is not designed for use in a heavy rain storm, or in snowy or icy conditions.

1. Contact with water or excessive moisture can cause an electrical malfunction. The frame, motors and other chair parts are not water-tight and may rust or corrode from the inside.

To avoid a chair failure:

• Minimize exposure of your chair to rain or very wet conditions.

• Never take your chair into a shower, tub, pool or sauna.

• Do not use your chair in fresh or salt water (such as at the edge

of a stream, lake, or ocean).

• Make sure battery cover is secure.

• Replace joystick boot if it becomes torn or cracked.

• Make sure all electrical connections are secure.

• Dry the chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use

water to clean it.

2. Proceed slowly and use extra care if you must operate your chair on a wet or slick surface.

• When in doubt, have someone help you.

• Do so only if you are sure it is safe.

• Stop if one or both main wheels lose traction. If this occurs, you

may lose control of your chair or fall.

• Never operate your chair on a slope or ramp if there is snow, ice,

water or an oil lm present.

3. When not in use, keep your chair in a clean, dry place.

K. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY

Quickie Xplore 2 Owner’s Manual Rev. A 8

Page 9

L. 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.

The Center Of Balance Is Affected By:

1. The seat height and seat angle.

2. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution.

3. Using this chair on a ramp or slope.

4. The use of a back pack or other options, and the amount of added weight.

5. Drive wheel positioning.

To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over: Whenever a condition exists that may change the center of balance, reduce speed, proceed cautiously, and when in doubt, always have someone help you.

M. TRANSFERS

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 prevent a fall:

1. Always turn off power before you transfer to or from your chair.

If you fail to do so you may touch the joystick and cause your

chair to move when you do not expect it.

2. Make sure motor locks are engaged. This keeps the chair from moving when you transfer.

3. Work with your health care professional to learn safe methods.

• Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself

during a transfer.

• Have someone help you until you are sure you can do a safe

transfer on your own.

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. Be careful of the footrests. If you can, remove or swing them

out of the way.

• Never stand on footrests when you transfer. Doing so may

damage them or cause your chair to tip.

• Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in the

space between the footrests.

7. Make sure armrests do not interfere.

8. Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can. This will reduce the risk that you will miss the seat or fall.

N.REACHING OR LEANING

WARNING

Reaching or leaning affects the center of balance of your chair. If

done improperly, a fall or tip-over is likely. When in doubt, ask for help or use a device to extend your reach.

To Reduce the Risk of injury and/or Damage to the Chair:

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 you lose your balance).

4. Never try to pick up an object from the oor by reaching down

between your knees.

5. Never put pressure on the footrests while reaching.

6. Never reach or lean over the top of the seat back. This may damage the backrest and cause you to fall.

IF YOU MUST REACH OR LEAN DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Remember to:

1. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you wish to reach.

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

Q-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.

3. Turn off all power to your chair. If you fail to do so, you may

touch the joystick and cause your chair to move when you do not expect it.

O.DRESSING OR CHANGING CLOTHES

WARNING

Be aware that your weight will shift if you dress or change clothes while seated in this chair. To make the chair more stable, rotate the front casters until they are forward.

P. OBSTACLES

WARNING

Obstacles you may have to overcome in daily use include door thresholds, lifts, ramps and hazards such as potholes and broken pavement. These can damage your chair and may cause a fall, tip-over or loss of control.

1. Be aware that thresholds are very dangerous. (Even a small

change in height may stop a caster wheel and cause your chair

to tip). You may need to:

• Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.

• Install a ramp at entry or exit doors.

2. Keep your eyes moving when you ride; scan the area well

ahead of your chair.

3. Make sure the oor areas where you use this chair are level

and free of obstacles.

O.DRIVING IN REVERSE

WARNING

1. Operate your chair slowly and at an even speed.

2. Stop often and check to make sure your path is

clear of obstacles.

P. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDEHILLS

WARNING

The center of balance of your chair changes when you are on a slope.

Q-NOTE- “Slope” includes a ramp or side hill. Your chair is

less stable when it is at an angle. Never use this chair on a slope unless your are sure it is safe. When in doubt, have someone help you.

Quickie Xplore 2 Owner’s Manual Rev. A 9

Page 10

Beware Of:

1. Steep slopes. Do Not use this chair on a slope steeper than

10%. (A 10% slope means: One foot in elevation for every ten feet of slope length).

2. Wet or slippery surfaces (such as when ice, snow, water or oil lm is present). A loss of traction may cause a fall or tip-over.

3. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression).

These may cause a fall or tip-over.

4. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. (A drop-off of as small as 3/4 inch (19 mm) can stop a front caster and cause the chair to tip forward).

Q. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FALL, TIPOVER OR LOSS OF CONTROL:

WARNING

1. Never use your chair on a slope unless you are sure you can do so without losing traction.

2. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can.

• Do not “cut the corner” on a slope or ramp.

• Do not turn or change direction on a slope.

3. Always stay in the center of the ramp. Make sure ramp is wide enough that you are not at risk that a wheel may roll off the side.

4. Keep your chair moving at a slow, steady speed. Keep control over the chair at all times.

• On a descent, do not let your chair accelerate beyond its

normal speed.

• If the chair picks up speed, center the joystick to slow down or

stop.

Q-NOTE- The solid state controller of your chair has a logic

system that will help control your speed when driving on a slope or uphill.

• If you stop, re-start slowly.

R. RAMPS AT HOME & WORK

WARNING

Before driving on a ramp, survey the condition of the ramp. On slippery ramps traction may be reduced causing your wheelchair to slide.

WARNING

Make sure ramps meet all Building Codes for your area.

1. For your safety, have a licensed contractor build or remodel ramp to meet all standards.

2. Q-NOTE- The proper design will vary, depending on such things as: the length and height of the ramp; the need for an intermediate platform; landing size; doors, and the direction of swing, and; whether the ramp includes a turn or angle.

S.WHEELCHAIR LIFTS

WARNING

Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses, and buildings to help you move from one level to another.

1. Always turn off all power to your chair when you are on a lift.

If you fail to do so, you may touch the joystick by accident and cause your chair to drive off the platform. (Be aware that a “rollstop” at the end of the platform may not prevent this).

2. Make sure there is not a lip or drop-off at the top or bottom of the platform. These may cause a fall or tip-over. When in doubt, have someone help you.

3. Always position the user securely in the chair to help prevent falls while on a lift.

4. Avoid moving forward if a wheel is “hung up” on the lip of the

ramp. Backup, reposition the caster for a more direct approach. And slowly try again.

T. CURBS & SINGLE STEPS

WARNING

1. It is recommended to climb and/or descend a curb, single step,

or other obstacle that a ramp or curb cut out is always used.

2. If you must climb or descend a curb, single step, or other obstacle that is greater than 2.5”, it is recommended to have a

person assist you in doing so.

3. In no case should you try to climb a curb, single step, or other obstacle greater than 4” high.

4. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at your

own risk using extreme care and follow the following procedure:

• Proceed slowly, at a steady speed

• Go as straight up or down as you can over the obstacle.

Never turn when trying to climb or descend and obstacle, doing so may result in a fall or tip-over.

5. Failure to follow the above procedures may cause:

• A Fall or Tip Over

• Damage to the frame, wheels, axles or other parts, or loose

fasteners.

U. STAIRS

PROHIBITED!

Never use this chair to go up or down stairs, even with an attendant. Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.

V. ESCALATORS

PROHIBITED!

Never take this chair on an escalator, even with an attendant. Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.

At A Minimum:

1. Open sides of ramp must have side rails to prevent your chair from going over the edge.

2. Slope must not be steeper than one inch in height for every one

foot of slope length (approximately 10º).

3. Ramp surface must be even, and have a non-skid surface.

4. You may need to add a section at the top or bottom to avoid a lip or drop-off.

5. Ramp must be sturdy. Add bracing if needed, so ramp does not

“bow ” when you ride on it.

X. BATTERIES

A.INTRODUCTION

1. Notes-

• Batteries supply the power for your chair. They contain a nite

amount of energy and have limits on how long they can store and supply energy.

• You can charge batteries only a certain number of times before

they will fail and no longer hold a charge.

• For answers to questions about batteries, consult your supplier.

2. Use Proper Batteries:

Your chair operates on two 12 volt batteries.

• They should be Group 24 (or 22NF) size with a minimum of 50

ampere hour rating. Only deep cycle sealed case construction batteries should be used in this device.

• Connecting conguration. They should have a post and clamp

style connection.

• When you buy a replacement, insist on a deep cycle sealed

case type. Do not use a car starter battery.

• Group 24 batteries are a minimum requirement for power

seating.

3. Breaking In:

• A battery requires “breaking-in” for the rst 6 to 12 charges. It will

not accept a full charge for this period.

• It is best to limit the length of your trips until you break the

batteries in and you know the range of your chair.

4. Discharged Batteries:

• Never allow a battery to completely discharge. If you operate

your wheelchair until it has almost stopped, you will greatly reduce the life of your batteries.

• Never let a battery sit in a discharged condition. Give unused or

stored batteries a full charge once per month.

• Always fully charge the batteries. Avoid “topping off ” with

frequent charges.

WARNING

Never connect a life support or auxiliary device to a wheelchair battery. The electrical system may fail, and result in severe injury to or death of user.

B. BATTERY CHARGER

A battery charger produces a direct current (DC). When

applied to a discharged battery, this reverses the chemical reaction that led to its discharge.

1. Charge Rate. How fast a battery will charge depends on:

• Its electrical capacity; state of charge; electrolyte temperature, and; internal condition.

• The DC output of the charger. (The charge rate will vary if the alternating current (AC) supply is higher or lower than 110 volts).

2. Caution — To Avoid Damage to the Charger:

• Never place the charger on top of a battery during charging. (Gases from the battery can damage the charger and may lead to an explosion or re).

• Never place a battery on top of the charger.

• Never expose charger to rain or snow.

• Never unplug charger by pulling on the electrical cord. This

will damage the cord.

• Never open a charger or attempt to repair it yourself. Return

• Keep cord out of the way, where it will not be stepped on,

tripped over, or damaged.

3. Caution — To Avoid Damage to the Battery:

• Make sure you use the correct setting for sealed (gel) batteries (located on the off-board charger).

• Never charge a frozen battery. A fully charged battery will rarely freeze, but the uid in a discharged battery can freeze at 16 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 9 degrees Centigrade). If you

suspect a battery is frozen, thaw it before charging.

WARNING

Lead acid batteries generate explosive gas while charging. Completely read and follow all warnings about the batteries in this user instruction manual and any labels applied to the product.

Failure to do so could result in re, explosion, injury and/or death.

C. ACID BURNS (unsealed wet cell batteries)

Acid in batteries is corrosive. It can cause serious burns to the eyes and skin and can damage oors, furniture, clothing and your

wheelchair.

WARNING

1. Use extreme care not to spill acid when you handle batteries. Keep batteries upright.

2. Avoid contact of acid with bare skin or clothing.

3. Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you handle batteries.

4. If acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with

soap and water.

5. If acid contacts your eyes, immediately ood eyes with cold

running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.

D. CONNECTING BATTERIES IN BATTERY COMPARTMENT

WARNING

1. Batteries weigh up to 55 lbs. (25 kg). Take care to avoid injury

when lifting.

2. Keep batteries upright. Take care not to spill acid (wet cell batteries).

3. Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you handle batteries.

4. Before working around batteries, remove all metal personal effects, such as necklaces, rings, watches, pins and other metal jewellery that might contact battery terminal and cause a short.

1. Lift batteries into battery compartment.

WARNING

Batteries weigh up to 55 pounds (25 kg). Lifting batteries may cause back strain. If you fail to heed these warnings severe injury

may occur to you.

2. Connect and disconnect battery cables with caution. Connect

the red lead to the positive terminal and the black lead to the negative terminal. Do this for each battery.

3. Tighten all terminal fasteners using two 1/2” box end

WARNING

Never touch the charger after it is connected to an electrical outlet. This may cause electrical shock.

• Never connect or disconnect charger from battery while

there is power to the charger.

WARNING

1. Never use an extension cord. Use of an improper cord could

damage the charger or cause a re or electrical shock.

2. A battery emits explosive hydrogen gas during charging. To

reduce the risk of re or explosion:

• Make sure area is well vented. Never charge battery in a

closed-in area.

• Never smoke or allow a spark, ame or high heat near battery

during charging.

• Never allow metal tools or chair parts to make direct contact

across both battery terminals

3. Never look directly into cells when charging battery (wet cell batteries).

ALWAYS:

1. Use the charger that comes with your wheelchair. Read and follow all instructions and warnings.

2. Make sure room is well ventilated.

3. Turn off all power to your chair.

4. Connect and disconnect battery cables with caution.

Q-NOTE- Always remove and reattach the negative cable (black cable) rst.

5. Make sure to allow enough time to fully charge batteries.

Q-NOTE- Batteries should never be left for long period in

the discharged state. Unused or stored batteries should be given a charge once per month.

6. To charge batteries, use the off-board charger by plugging offboard charger plug into the off-board charger socket.

F. DISPOSING OF BATTERIES
