VII. WARNINGS: COMPONENTS & OPTIONS
Note: If you use parts or make changes not authorized by Sunrise it may create a
safety hazard and will void the Warranty.
A. ARMRESTS
Armrests flip back and cannot be used to lift chair or the seat.
1. Never lift this chair by its armrests.
2. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.
B. BATTERIES
1. Only deep cycle sealed case construction batteries should be used in this device.
2. To prevent an acid spill, always keep batteries upright. (wet cell batteries only)
3. Never smoke or hold an open flame near batteries. They are a known
explosion hazard.
4. Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you handle batteries.
5. Read all of section XI. Batteries before attempting to change or charge batteries.
6. Always remove batteries using straps or handle provided. Pinched fingers may occur if
the batteries are removed by grasping the battery casings.
C. CUSHIONS
1. Quickie Highback seats are designed for comfort, not specifically for the relief of
pressure unless equipped with a specially designed cushion.
2. If you suffer from pressure sores, or if you are at risk that they will occur, you may
need a special seat system such as can be provided by the Seat Frame, or a device to
control your posture.
• 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 special high-strength
fasteners. Use of improper fasteners may cause your chair to fail.
1. Only use fasteners provided 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 IX, 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 nor-
mal 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.
