R. TRANSIT OPTION

WARNING

1.Use only Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS) which

meet the requirements of SAE J2249 Recommended Practice - Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint Systems For Use in Motor Vehicles. Do not use WTORS designed to rely on the wheelchair structure to transfer occupant restraint loads to the vehicle.

2.The wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a for-

ward-facing mode for a 48- km/h frontal impact test. The wheelchair must be forward- facing during transport.

3.In order to reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occu- pants, wheelchair-mounted accessories, such as trays and respiratory equipment, should be removed and secured sep- arately.

4.Postural supports and positioning devices should not be relied on for occupant restraint.

5.Do not alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts, compo- nents or seating.

6.Sudden stops or impacts can structurally damage your chair. Chairs involved in such incidents should be replaced.

S.REAR WHEEL LOCKS

WARNING

Rear wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a moving wheelchair. Use the 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.

T. MODIFIED SEAT SYSTEMS

WARNING

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.

3.Use of a seating system not provided by Sunrise is prohibited for transit use.

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.

U.ANTI-TIP TUBES (optional) (Manual Carrier)

WARNING

Anti-tip tubes can help keep your chair from tipping over backward in most normal conditions.

1.Sunrise Recommends Use Of Anti-Tip Tubes:

a.UNLESS you are a skilled rider of this chair and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.

b.Each time you modify or adjust your chair. The change may make it easier to tip backward. Use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change, and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.

2.When locked in place (in the “down” position) anti-tip tubes should be BETWEEN 1 1/2 to 2 inches off the ground.

a.If set too HIGH, they may not prevent a tip-over.

b.If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on obstacles you can expect in normal use. If this occurs, you may fall or your chair may tip over.

3.Keep Anti-Tip Tubes Locked In Place UNLESS:

a.You have an attendant; or

b.You have to climb or descend a curb, or overcome an obstacle, and can safely do so without them. At these times, make sure anti-tip tubes are up, out of the way.
