General safety notes and driving restrictions.....
WARnInG
Changes & Adjustments
• If you modify or adjust this chair, it may increase
the risk of a tip-over UNLESS you make other
changes as well.
• Consult your authorized supplier BEFORE you
modify or adjust your chair, or contact Sunrise
Medical.
• We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until
you adapt to the change, and are sure you are not
at risk to tip over.
• Unauthorized modifications or use of parts not sup-
plied or approved by Sunrise Medical may change
the chair structure. This will void the warranty and
may cause a safety hazard.
WARnInG!
Environmental Conditions
• Use extra care if you must ride your chair on a wet or
slick surface. If you are in doubt, ask for help.
• Contact with water or excess moisture may cause
your chair to rust or corrode. This could cause your
chair to fail.
• Do not use your chair in a shower, pool or other body
of water. The chair tubing and parts are not water-
tight and may rust or corrode from the inside.
• Avoid excess moisture (for example, do not leave
your chair in a damp bathroom while taking a
shower).
• Dry your chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if
you use water to clean it.
WARnInG!
terrain
• Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces
such as concrete, asphalt and indoor floors and
carpeting.
• Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil or over
rough terrain. This may damage wheels or axles, or
loosen fasteners of your chair.

WARnInG!
Street use
In most states, wheelchairs are not legal for use on public
roads. Be alert to the danger of motor vehicles on roads
or in parking lots.
At night, or when lighting is poor, use reflective tape on
your chair and clothing.
Due to your low position, it may be hard for drivers to see
you. Make eye contact with drivers before you go
forward. When in doubt, yield until you are sure it is safe.
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.
Motor Vehicle Safety
As indicated on the front cover of this user manual,
identify whether your chair has been manufactured with
the Transit Option installed.
WARnInG!
• If your chair is not equipped with Transit Option, the
wheelchair does not meet standards for motor vehicle
seating.
• NEVER let anyone sit in this chair while in a moving
vehicle.
• ALWAYS secure the rider with proper motor vehicle
restraints. In an accident or sudden stop the rider
may be thrown from the chair. Wheelchair seat belts
will not prevent this, and further injury may result from
the belts or straps.
• NEVER transport this chair in the front seat of a
vehicle. It may shift and interfere with the driver.
• ALWAYS secure this chair so that it cannot roll or
shift.
• Do not use any chair that has been involved in a
motor vehicle accident.
NOTE: If your chair is equipped with the Transit Option:
See the Transportability section.
