VII. WARNINGS: COMPONENTS & OPTIONS
WARNING
Note: If you use parts or make changes not authorized
by Sunrise it may create a safety hazard and will void
the Warranty.
A. ARMRESTS
WARNING
Armrests cannot be used to lift chair or the seat.
1. Never lift this chair by its armrests.
2. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.
B. BATTERIES
WARNING
1. Only deep cycle sealed case construction batteries should be
used in this device.
2. To prevent an acid spill, always keep batteries upright.
(wet cell batteries only)
3. Never smoke or hold an open flame near batteries. They are
a known explosion hazard.
4. Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you han-
dle batteries.
5. Read all of section X Batteries before attempting to change
or charge batteries.
C. CUSHIONS
WARNING
1. Quickie Highback seats are designed for comfort, not specifi-
cally for the relief of pressure.
2. If you suffer from pressure sores, or if you are at risk that
they will occur, you may need a special seat system such as
can be provided by the Seat Frame, or a device to control
your posture.
• Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out if you
need such a device for your well-being.
D. FASTENERS
WARNING
Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on this chair are spe-
cial high-strength fasteners. Use of improper fasteners
may cause your chair to fail.
1. Only use fasteners recommended by Sunrise.
2. If fasteners become loose, tighten them as soon as you can.
3. Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage
to chair parts.
• See Section VIII, "Set-Up, Adjustment & Use", for proper
torque settings.
E. FOOTPLATE & FOOTRESTS
WARNING
1. At the lowest point, the foot platform and footrests should
be at least 2 1/2" off the ground. If set too LOW, it may "hang
up" on obstacles you can expect to find in normal use. This
may cause the chair to stop suddenly and tip forward.
2. To avoid a trip or fall when you transfer:
• Make sure your feet do not "hang up" or get caught in
the space surrounding or in between the footrests.
V I I . WA R N I N G S : C O M P O N E N T S & O P T I O N S
• Avoid putting weight on the footplate or footrests, as the
chair may tip forward.
• Flip the footplate back or swing the footrests out of the
way, if possible.
3. Never lift this chair by the footplate or footrests. Footrests
fold or detach and will not bear the weight of this chair. Lift
this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.
F. MOTOR LOCKS
1. Do not engage or disengage motor locks unless power to the
chair is off.
2. Be aware that the chair will not have brakes when motor
locks are in the free-wheel position. (See Section F of
Operating Guide.)
3. Make sure that the person pushing the chair has full control
when motor locks are disengaged.
G. ON/OFF SWITCH
1. Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop the chair except in an
emergency. This will result in an abrupt stop and may cause
you to fall.
2. To slow your chair to a stop, return the joystick to neutral,
before turning off the chair.
H. POSITIONING BELTS
Use a positioning belt only to help support your pos-
ture. Improper use of such belts may cause severe
injury or death.
1. Make sure you are not at risk to slide down in the wheelchair
seat. If this occurs, you may suffer chest compression or suf-
focate due to pressure from the belt.
2. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help you from sliding
down in the seat. Consult your health care professional to
find out if you need such a device.
3. The belt must be snug, but must not be so tight that it inter-
feres with breathing. You should be able to slide your open
hand, flat, between the belt and your stomach.
4. Make sure you can easily remove the belt in an emergency.
5. Never use a positioning belt:
• In place of a motor vehicle seat belt. In an accident or
sudden stop you may be thrown from the chair. A posi-
tioning belt will not prevent this, and further injury may
result from the belt.
• As a restraint. A restraint requires a doctor's order.
• On a rider who is comatose or agitated.
I. SEATING SYSTEMS
1. Use of a seating system not approved by Sunrise may alter
the center of balance of this chair. This may cause a fall or
tip-over.
2. Never change the seating system of your chair unless you
consult your supplier first.
