N. ANTI-TIP TUBES
Anti-tip tubes can help keep your chair from tipping over backward in
normal conditions. If your chair includes anti-tip tubes be sure to re-adjust
them after adding the Xtender to the chair.
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 (3.75 to 5cm) off the ground.
a. If set higher than 2 inches (5cm), they may not prevent a tip-
over.
b. If set lower than 1 1/2 inches, (3.75cm) they may "hang up" on
obstacles and cause a fall or 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.
O. 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 dealer (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.
P. PNEUMATIC TIRES
Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes your chair easier
to use.
1. Do not use this chair if any of the tires are under- or over-inflated.
Check weekly for proper inflation level, as listed on the tire side-
wall.
2. Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that side
to slip and allow the wheel to turn when you do not expect it.
3. Low pressure in any of the tires may cause the chair to veer to one
side and result in a loss of control.
4. Over-inflated tires may burst.
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.
Q. 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.
3. An unlocked axle may come off during use, resulting in a fall, tip-
over or loss of control and cause severe injury to the rider or oth-
ers.
• Quick-Release Axles should be periodically cleaned and inspected
for function and signs of wear or bending. Replace as necessary.
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.
