Preparing your wheelchair for use

Power-base assembly

Your Sunrise electric wheelchair has been designed with a unique capability - the front and rear sections of the powerbase will separate, allowing for greater ease when transporting your chair (Fig.1). To “re-dock” the two halves tilt the rear unit backwards resting unit on the small anti-tip wheels (Fig.1). Ensure that the drive lever is engaged, this will prevent the power base from moving. Offer the front sub frame studs “A” (Fig.1a) to the lower slots in the rear sub frame brackets and locate. The two halves now form an arch, push the front of the rear unit down (Fig.1b) to couple both units together. Secure the coupling by locking over the seat location bar to engage studs “B” (Fig.1c).

If the above procedures have been performed correctly, the front and rear sections of the wheelchair should now be completely secure. Test by lifting the seat location bar (Fig.1a) without any downward movement, which would cause the two section to part (Fig.1c). If the chair is correctly ‘Docked’, the pins will remain firmly in their slots. Re- dock if not.

The term “de-dock” is used to describe the separation of the front and rear sub frames. To de-dock push seat location bar towards front sub frame and lift in one movement.
