accidentally fall , remove
the safety splint (1)and then
fold the backrest forwards.

package the seat cushion
and the back shell can be
removed.

must be secured/held
before releasing it.

into the upright position,
fold the backrest up and fit the splint.
DANGER!
• Risk of injury – you must make sure that the backrest is
correctly secured!
• Make sure that the back shell is
locked in place correctly.
QUICK-RELEASE AXLES ON
REAR WHEEL
The rear wheels are equipped with
quick-release axles. The wheels
can thus be fitted or removed
without using tools. To remove a
wheel, simply depress the quick-
release button on the axle (1) and
pull the wheel off the axle (Fig. 3).
CAUTION!
Hold the quick-release button on the axle depressed when
inserting the axle into the frame to mount the rear wheels.
Release the button to lock the wheel in place. The quick-release
button should snap back to its original position.
GETTING INTO YOUR WHEELCHAIR INDEPENDENTLY

rested on them in front of the heel loops.

GETTING OUT OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR INDEPENDENTLY
(Fig. 5)
• The wheel locks should be on;
• The hinged footplates should be hinged up;
• With one hand on each armrest, the person should bend
slightly forward to bring the body weight to the front of the seat,
and with both feet firmly on the ground, one foot well back,
push up into the upright position.
Fig. 4
WARNING!
• When standing, do not stand on the footplates or the
wheelchair will tip up. It is easier and safer to get into your
wheel chair if you turn the footplates up and out of the way or
take them off the wheelchair.
• Always engage the wheel wheel locks when transfering in or
out of the wheelchair.
Options – Step Tubes
STEP TUBES
Tipping tubes are used by attendants to tip a wheelchair over an
obstacle Simply step on the tube to push a wheelchair, for
example, over a kerb or step, (Fig. 6).
Fig. 6
CAUTION!
Sunrise Medical strongly recommends the use of a step tube on
transit wheeled models and also on any model where attendant
use is the predominant intended use, as damage to the
backposts may occur if you pull back on them to tip the
wheelchair, in order to overcome obstacles.

Options - Wheel locks

WHEEL LOCKS
Your wheelchair is equipped with two wheel locks. They are
applied directly against the tyres. To engage, press both brake
levers forward against the stops. To release the locks, pull the
levers back to their original positions.
