Advice to Client
The lap belt must be checked on a daily basis to ensure it is adjusted correctly and it is free from any obstruction or
adverse wear.
Failure to make sure that the lap belt is secure and adjusted prior to use could cause serious injury
to the user. E.g. too loose a strap may allow the user to slip down in the chair and risk suffocation.
Maintenance
Check lap belt, and securing components; at regular intervals for any sign of fraying or damage. Replace if necessary.
Clean the lap belt with warm soapy water and allow to dry.
Note
The lap belt should be adjusted to suit the end user as detailed above
Sunrise Medical also recommend that the length and fit of the belt is checked on a regular basis to reduce
the risk of the end user inadvertently re-adjusting the belt to an excessive length
If in doubt about the use and operation of the seat belt t hen ask your healthcare professional,
wheelchair dealer, carer or attendant for assistance.

E. ADJUSTMENTS
1. Footrest heights (Fig. 7) To adjust the height of the footplates, loosen the retaining bolt in the frame tube,
reposition footplate and tighten bolt. For these adjustment use a 10 mm. wrench. A minimum interval of 2.5
centimetres from the ground should always be maintained.
2. Wheel locks (Fig. 8) For a slight adjustment, loosen the nut of the screw on the clamp, using a 10 mm
wrench. Slide the whole wheel lock forwards or backwards, through the groove of the clamp. For a larger
adjustment, remove the screw and reset the wheel lock in the appropriate hole in the frame. Fix the new
position with the screw and nut.
3. Height-adjustable push handles (option only available on 305 and 312 models) (Fig. 9): To adjust the height
of the push handles, loosen the knob that holds the tube of the push handle, turning it to the left. Move the tube
up or down. To fix the position, turn the handle clockwise.
4. Backrest height (Fig. 9) (Only with the adjustable push handles option): Turn the handles to the left, until
they are fully released. Remove the push handles, and remove the back upholstery from the tubes of the
backrest. These tubes have 4 holes, which allow the height adjustment. To slide the tube upwards or downwards,
remove the nut and the screw, using a 10 mm wrench and a 4 mm Allen key. Once they are removed, reposition
the tube and fix it with the screw through the holes. The wheelchair leaves the factory with a pre-set back
height of 40 cm.
F. CONTROLS AND MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE: In addition to the maintenance and checks, general cleaning of both frame and upholstery
can be undertaken. To maintain its appearance the upholstery should be cleaned regularly. Light soiling can be
removed by sponging with a mild detergent and warm water, wiping in the direction of the texture. Rinse off
with clean water before allowing to dry. Do not put upholstery in a dryer. If dirt is ingrained, the surface should
be scrubbed with a soft brush. The frame should be cleaned regularly with a non-abrasive cleaner followed by
polishing with a non-abrasive automotive wax.
