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 wheellock 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 supplier 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 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 wheelchair user or others.
