J. POSITIONING BELTS

WARNING

Use a positioning belt only to help support your pos- ture. Improper use of such belts may cause severe injury or death.

1.Make sure you are not at risk to slide down in the wheelchair seat. If this occurs, you may suffer chest compression or suf- focate due to pressure from the belt.

2.A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help you from sliding down in the seat. Consult your health care professional to find out if you need such a device.

3.The belt must be snug, but must not be so tight that it inter- feres with breathing. You should be able to slide your open hand, flat, between the belt and your stomach.

4.Make sure you can easily remove the belt in an emergency.

5.Never use a positioning belt:

•In place of a motor vehicle seat belt. In an accident or sudden stop you may be thrown from the chair. A posi- tioning belt will not prevent this, and further injury may result from the belt.

•As a restraint. A restraint requires a doctor’s order.

•On a rider who is comatose or agitated.

K.PUSH HANDLES (seat frame only)

WARNING

1.Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to propel and control the chair. This helps to prevent a fall or tip-over.

2.Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.

L.SEATING SYSTEMS

WARNING

1.Use of a seating system not approved by Sunrise may alter the center of balance of this chair. This may cause a fall or tip-over.

2.Never change the seating system of your chair unless you consult your supplier first.

M.UPHOLSTERY FABRIC

WARNING

1.Replace worn or torn fabric of the seat as soon as you can. If you fail to do so, the seat may fail and cause you to fall. Worn fabrics may increase the potential for a fire hazard.

2.Fabric will deteriorate with age and use. Look for fraying, thin spots, or stretching of fabric at rivet holes. Replace fabric as required.

3.Be aware that washing may reduce flame retardation of the fabric.

N.SUSPENSION (Power base only)

WARNING

The suspension system does contain Dry Natural Rubber. The suspension, or any other component on the chair, does not contain any latex based product. The suspension components are enclosed and inaccessible to the user.

O. WIRING

WARNING

Never pull on cables directly. This can result in wires breaking inside the connector or harness. To remove a plug or connector, always grasp the plug or connector itself.

P. MANUAL TILT

WARNING

1.Operation

•While driving this wheelchair in the tilted position use cau- tion.

•Do Not attempt to operate the tilt while positioned on an incline.

2.Pinch points

Pinch points may occur when operating the tilt on this chair. Ensure all hands and body parts are clear of all tilt compo- nents that may result in pinch points before operating the tilt.

3. Maximum User Weight

Do not exceed the weight capacity for your specific chair/seating system configuration. Doing so could result in premature failure or injury.

Q. TRANSIT USE

WARNING

1.If possible and feasible, the rider should transfer to the Original Equipment Manufacturer vehicle seat and use the vehicle restraint.

2.If the wheelchair is used for transport, it must be used in a forward-facing seating position.

3.The rider must not weigh more than 165 lbs.

4.Figure 1 shows the location of the wheelchair securement points.

5.Use only with Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS) that have been installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and SAE J2249.

6.Attach WTORS to securement points in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and SAE J2249.
