POWER DRIVE

Do not install a power drive on any Quickie wheelchair. If you do:

1.It will affect the center of balance of your chair and may cause a fall or tip-over.

2.It will alter the frame and void the warranty.

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.

H. PUSH HANDLES

When you have an attendant, make sure that this chair has push handles.

1.Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to hold the rear of this chair, to prevent a fall or tip-over. Make sure to use push handles when you have an attendant.

2.Check to make sure stabilizer bar locking mechanism is fully engaged and will not come loose.

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.

I.QUICK-RELEASE AXLES

1.Do not use this chair UNLESS you are sure that both quick-release rear axles are locked. An unlocked axle may come off during use and cause a fall.

J. REAR WHEELS

A change in set-up of the rear wheels will affect the center of balance of your chair.

1.The farther you move the rear axles FORWARD, the more likely it is that your chair will tip over backward.

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.

K. 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.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.

L. 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.

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

2.Use of a seat 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 rider or others.
