WARNINGS!

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 Tyre 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 Tyres 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.

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 non-validated system (wheelchair base and
seating), as a seat in a motor vehicle could result in
increased risk of severe injury or death in a vehicular
mishap.
• Only a complete system (wheelchair base and seating) can
be validated for use as a seat in a motor vehicle.
• The seating provided may or may not be appropriate for
use as a seat in a motor vehicle in combination with this
wheelchair base.
• Before using this system as a seat in a motor vehicle, you
should verify that the seating manufacturer has validated the
seating in combination with this wheelchair base.
• Before using this system as a seat in a motor vehicle, you
should read and comply with all instructions for use provided
by both Sunrise Medical and the seating manufacturer as
well as the instructions for use of any other component or
accessory manufacturer.
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.

TRANSIT OPTION

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 forward-
facing mode for a 30 mph frontal impact test. The wheelchair
must be forward-facing during transport.
3. In order to reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants,
wheelchair-mounted accessories, such as trays and
respiratory equipment, should be removed and secured
separately.
4. Postural supports and positioning devices should not be
relied on for occupant restraint.
5. Do not alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts,
components or seating.
6. Sudden stops or impacts can structurally damage your chair.
Chairs involved in such incidents should be replaced.
7. 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.
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.
