General safety notes, warnings and driving restrictions

The engineering and construction of this wheelchair has
been designed to provide maximum safety. International
safety standards currently in force have either been fulfilled or
exceeded in parts. Nevertheless, users may put themselves at
risk by improperly using their wheelchairs. For your own safety,
the following rules must be strictly observed.
Unprofessional or erroneous changes or adjustments
increase the risk of accident. As a wheelchair user, you are
also part of the daily traffic on streets and pavements, just
like anyone else. We would like to remind you that you are
therefore also subject to any and all traffic laws.
Be careful during your first ride in this wheelchair. Get to know
your wheelchair.
Before each use, the following should be checked:
• Quick-release axles on the rear wheels
• Velcro on seats and backrests
• Tyres, tyre pressure and wheel locks.
Before changing any of the adjustments of this wheelchair, it
is important to read the corresponding section of the user's
manual.
It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could
cause this wheelchair to tip over, especially when riding uphill or
downhill. When riding over a step or up an incline frontally, the
body should be leaning forward.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS
• Sunrise provides a choice of many wheelchair styles to meet
the needs of the wheelchair
• rider. However, final selection of the type of wheelchair,
options and adjustments rests
• solely with you and your health care advisor. Choosing the
best chair and set-up for your safety depends on such things
as:
1. Your disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (where you
live and work, and other places you are likely to use your chair).
3. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as anti-tip
tubes, positioning belts, or special seating systems).
