W. CURBS & SINGLE STEPS
1. Your chair is not designed to drive up or down a curb or step
more than two (2.0) inches high. Doing so may:
• Result in a fall or tip-over.
• Damage the frame, wheels, axles or other chair parts, or
loosen fasteners.
2. To prevent a fall or tip-over, use wheelchair access ramps or
have someone help you.
3. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at
your own risk and use extreme care.
• Go as straight up or straight down as you can. Never turn
or climb or descend at an angle as a fall or tip-over is
likely.
• Proceed slowly, at a steady speed.
4. Avoid driving along curb edges and drop-offs. A minimum
distance from the edge of 18" is recommended.

• Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out if you
need such a device for your well-being.
D. FASTENERS
Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on this chair are spe-
cial high-strength fasteners. Use of improper fasteners
may cause your chair to fail.
1. Only use fasteners recommended by Sunrise.
2. If fasteners become loose, tighten them as soon as you can.
3. Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage
to chair parts.
• See Section VIII, "Set-Up, Adjustment & Use", for proper
torque settings.
E. FOOTPLATE & FOOTRESTS
1. At the lowest point, the foot platform and footrests should
be at least 2 1/2" off the ground. If set too LOW, it may "hang
up" on obstacles you can expect to find in normal use. This
may cause the chair to stop suddenly and tip forward.
2. To avoid a trip or fall when you transfer:
• Make sure your feet do not "hang up" or get caught in
the space surrounding or in between the footrests.
• Avoid putting weight on the footplate or footrests, as the
chair may tip forward.
• Flip the footplate back or swing the footrests out of the
way, if possible.
3. Never lift this chair by the footplate or footrests. Footrests
fold or detach and will not bear the weight of this chair. Lift
this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.
