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 locks may not work.

b.Make sure lock arms embed in tires 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 rider or others.

N. REAR WHEEL LOCKS (OPTIONAL)

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.Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that side to slip and may allow the wheel to turn when you do not expect it.

4.Make sure 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 rider or others.

O. MODIFIED SEAT SYSTEMS

Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise may alter the center of balance of this chair. This may cause the chair to tip over.

Do not change the seat system of your chair UNLESS you consult your authorized supplier first.

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.

P. REAR SUSPENSION (OPTIONAL)

When replacing the suspension bushings, always use genuine Quickie parts. Use of non- Quickie replacement parts voids the warranty and could cause structural failure.

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.

Q. 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 stretch- ing 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 rider or others.

R. SEAT BACK

Adjusting the seat back depth could cause the strut tube to be located in a position where it could contact the user and cause skin breakdown or other serious injuries.

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.
