VIII. WARNINGS: COMPONENTS & OPTIONS
A. 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.
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.
B. ARMRESTS
Armrests detach and will not bear the weight of this chair.
1. NEVER lift this chair by its armrests. They may come loose
or break.
2. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.
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.
C. CUSHIONS & SLING SEATS
1. Zippie sling seats and standard foam cushions are not
designed 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 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.
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.
D. FASTENERS
Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on this chair are special high-
strength fasteners. Use of improper fasteners may cause your chair
to fail.
1. ONLY use fasteners provided by an authorized supplier (or
ones of the same type and strength, as indicated by the
markings on the heads).

control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
E. FOOTRESTS
1. At the lowest point, footrests should be AT LEAST 2" off the
ground. If set too LOW, they 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:
a. Make sure your feet do not "hang up" or get caught in
the space between the footrests.
b. Avoid putting weight on the footrests, as the chair may
tip forward.
3. NEVER lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and will
not bear the weight of this chair. Lift this chair only by non-
detachable parts of the main frame.
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.
F. OFFSET SEATING (OPTIONAL)
1. A fore/aft change in the backrest position will affect the cen-
ter of balance of your chair.
2. Only use this option when installing a forward offset mount-
ed seating solution, not using the standard back sling.
3. Each time you adjust or modify the backrest plane location,
the change may make it easier to tip backwards. Use anti-tips
until you adapt to the change, and are sure you are not at
risk to tip over.
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.
G. PNEUMATIC TIRES
Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes your chair
easier to use.
1. Do not use this chair if any of the tires is under- or over-
inflated. Check weekly for proper inflation level, as listed on
the tire sidewall.
2. Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that
side to slip and allow the wheel to turn when you do not
expect it.
3. Low pressure in any of the tires may cause the chair to veer
to one side and result in a loss of control.
4. Over-inflated tires may burst.
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.
