A. ANTI-TIP TUBES (OPTIONAL)
Anti-tip tubes can help keep your chair from tipping over backward in
normal conditions.
1. Sunrise recommends the use of anti-tip tubes:
2. When locked in place (in the "down" position) anti-tip tubes should
be BETWEEN 1 1/2 to 2 inches off the ground.
a. If set higher than 2 inches, they may not prevent a tip-over.
b. If set lower than 2 inches, they may "hang up" on obstacles and
cause a fall or tip over.
3. If you have to climb or descend a curb, or overcome an obstacle it
may be necessary to have an attendant make sure the anti-tip tubes
are rotated up, and out of the way, so that the chair and rider do
not get stuck and/or become unstable.
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. ARMRESTS
Armrests can detach and will not bear the weight of this chair.
1. NEVER lift this chair by its armrests. They may come loose or break.
2. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.
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. CUSHIONS & SLING SEATS
1. Manual sling seats and standard foam cushions are not designed for
the relief of pressure.
2. If you suffer from pressure sores or if you are at risk that they will
occur, you may need a special seating system or a device to control
your posture. Consult your healthcare advisor to find out if you need
such a device for your well-being.
3. Seat slings are not intended to be used as a direct seating surface. A
cushion or other seating surface should be placed on the sling
before use.
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. FASTENERS
Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on this chair are special high-strength
fasteners. Use of improper fasteners may cause your chair to fail.
1. ONLY use fasteners provided by an authorized supplier (or ones of
the same type and strength, as indicated by the markings on the
heads).
2. Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage to
chair parts.
3. If bolts or screws become loose, tighten them as soon as you can.
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.

VII. WARNINGS: COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
E. FOOTRESTS & LEGRESTS
If it is necessary to adjust the length of your footrests remember to follow
the following instructions for user safety.
1. At the lowest point, footrests should be AT LEAST 2 inches off the
ground. If set too LOW, they may "hang up" on obstacles you can
expect to find in normal use. This may cause the chair to stop sud-
denly and tip forward.
2. To Avoid A Trip Or Fall When You Transfer:
a. Make sure your feet do not "hang up" or get caught in the space
between the footrests.
b. Avoid putting weight on the footrests, as the chair may tip for-
ward.
c. Footrests should be swung out of the way or removed whenever
entering or exiting the wheelchair.
3. NEVER lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and will not
bear the weight of this chair. Lift this chair only by non-detachable
parts of the main frame.
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. UNFOLDING & FOLDING
1. To fully unfold your chair, place your palms on the seat rails located
on each side of the seat sling and push down firmly until the rails
are seated, and locked.
2. To fold your chair, first make sure to loosen the straps in your ten-
sion adjustable upholstery, and either remove the footrests, or fold
up the footplates.
3. Standing in front of the chair, lift up on the center of the seat sling
and then push both sides of the frame together.
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. POLYURETHANE TIRES
As with any vehicle, the wheels and tires should be checked periodically
for cracks and wear that could cause issues with balance and/or tracking.
1. Inspect your tires for flat spots and excessive wear, caused by drying
and cracking.
2. If you do find flat spots, crack, or pits larger than 1/4" be sure to
replace the tires as soon as possible.
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. QUICK RELEASE AXLES
1. Do not use this chair UNLESS you are sure that both quick-release
rear axles are locked.
2. An axle is not locked until the quick-release button pops out fully. If
the axle is not inserted fully, the wheel may come off during use,
endangering the rider.
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.
