additional transit option and motor vehicle warnings.
1. If possible and feasible, the rider should transfer to the
Original Equipment Manufacturer vehicle seat and use the
vehicle restraint.
2. If the wheelchair is used for transport, it must be used in a
forward-facing seating position.
3. The rider must not weigh more than 150 lbs.

USER WEIGHT LESS THAN 22 kg (48 lb 8.0 oz)
When the user being transported is a child, less than 22Kg
mass and the vehicle involved has less than eight (8) seated
passengers it is recommended that they be transferred to an
UNCE Regulation 44 compliant child restraint system (CRS).
This type of restraint system provides a more effective
occupant restraint system than the conventional 3 point
occupant restraint system and some CRS systems also include
additional postural supports to assist in maintaining the position
of the child when seated.
Parents or care providers may consider the option, in some
circumstances, for their child is to remain in their wheelchair
whilst in transport due to the level of posture control and
comfort provided by the set up in the wheelchair.
We would recommend in such circumstances that a risk
assessment be carried out by your healthcare professional and
relevant competent persons.

ANTI-TIP TUBES (OPTIONAL)
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.
