H. REAR WHEELS
A change in set-up of the rear wheels will affect the center of balance of your chair.
1. The farther you move the rear axles FORWARD, the more likely it is that your chair will
tip over backward.
2. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find the best rear axle set-up for your chair. Do
not change the set-up UNLESS you are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
3. Adjust the rear wheel locks after you make any change to the rear axles.
a. If you fail to do so, the wheel locks may not work.
b. Make sure the wheel lock arm embeds in each tire at least 1/8 inch when locked.
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 wheelchair user or others.
I. REAR WHEEL LOCKS
Rear wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a moving wheelchair. Use them only to
keep the rear wheels from rolling when your chair is at a complete stop.
1. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair when it is moving. Doing so
may cause you to veer out of control.
2. To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both rear wheel locks when you transfer
to or from your chair.
3. Make sure wheel lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch when locked. If you fail to do
so, the locks may not work.
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 wheelchair user or others.
J. MODIFIED SEATING SYSTEMS
Use of a seating system not approved by Sunrise may alter the center of balance of this
chair. This may cause the chair to tip over.
1. Do not change the seating system of your chair UNLESS you consult your authorized sup-
plier first.
2. Use of a seating system not approved by Sunrise may affect the folding mechanism of this
chair.
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 wheelchair user or others.
K. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat and seat back as soon as you can. If you fail to do so,
the seat may fail.
2. Sling fabric will weaken with age and use. Look for fraying or thin spots, or stretching of
fabrics at rivet holes.
3. "Dropping down" into your chair will weaken fabric and result in the need to inspect and
replace the seat more often.
4. Be aware that laundering or excess moisture will reduce flame retardation of the fabric.
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 wheelchair user or others.
