Never use a high-powered washer for cleaning the shock. Always use mild soap and a small brush.

2. Damping Adjustment

The Rock Shox suspension system used on the S-626 has the ability to adjust the rebound (damping) of the suspension. Rebound or damping is the rate at which the spring returns to its original position after experiencing a deflection.

a)Adjustment of the rebound (damping) is done by turning the red knob (C) on the suspension. Turning the red knob clockwise slows the rate of return or decreases the rebound. Turning the red knob counterclockwise quickens the rate of return or increases the rebound.

b)Too much rebound will feel like the system stiffens over a bumpy surface. Adjust the red knob a half turn counterclockwise and test for performance.

c)Too little rebound will feel like the system is trying to buck the rider out of the seat. Turn the red knob a half turn clockwise and test for performance.

Q.CHECK-OUT

Once the wheelchair is assembled and adjusted, it should roll smoothly and easily. All accessories should also perform smoothly.

After the wheelchair has been set up be sure the chair performs to your specified operational settings (see section X. Operating Guide). If the chair does not perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair OFF immediately and reprogram operational specifi- cations using the QTRONIX Programming Pad.

Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications before attempting active use of the wheelchair.

If you have any problems, follow these procedures:

1.Review the set-up and check-out section and operating guide to make sure chair was properly prepared.

2.If your problem persists, contact your authorized supplier. If you still have a problem after contacting your authorized supplier, contact Sunrise cus- tomer service. See the introduction page for details on how to contact your authorized supplier or Sunrise customer service.
