E.SAFETY CHECKLIST

Before Each Use Of Your Chair:

1.Make sure the chair rolls easily and that all parts work smoothly. Check for noise, vibration or a change in ease of use. (These may indicate low tire pressure, loose fasteners or damage to your chair).

2.Repair any problem. Your authorized supplier can help you find and correct the problem.

3.Check to see that both quick-release rear axles are locked. When locked, the quick-release button will “pop out” fully. If not locked, the wheel may come off and cause you to fall.

4.If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place.

NOTE– See “Anti-Tip Tubes” (Section VIII) for times you should not use them.

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 rider or others.

F.CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS

1.If you modify or adjust this chair, it may increase the risk of a tip-over.

2.Consult your authorized supplier BEFORE you modify or adjust your chair.

3.We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.

4.Unauthorized modifications or use of parts not supplied or approved by Sunrise may change the chair structure. This will void the warranty and may cause a safety hazard.

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 rider or others.

G.ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

1.Use extra care if you must ride your chair on a wet or slick surface. If you are in doubt, ask for help.

2.Contact with water or excess moisture may cause your chair to rust or corrode. This could cause your chair to fail.

a.Do not use your chair in a shower, pool or other body of water. The chair tubing and parts are not water-tight and may rust or corrode from the inside.

b.Avoid excess moisture (for example, do not leave your chair in a damp bath- room while taking a shower).

c.Dry your chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use water to clean it.

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 rider or others.
