Component and Options Warnings.....
WARnInG!
Push handles
• When you have an attendant, make sure the chair
has push handles.
• Push handles provide secure points for an attendant
to hold the rear of this chair, to prevent a fall or tip-
over. Make sure to use push handles when you have
an attendant.
• Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate
or slip off.
WARnInG!
Quick-Release Axles
• Do not use this chair UNLESS you are sure that both
quick-release rear axles are locked. An unlocked axle
may come off during use and cause a fall.
• An axle is not locked until the quick-release button
pops out fully. An unlocked axle may come off during
use, resulting in a fall, tip-over or loss of control and
cause severe injury to the rider or others.
WARnInG!
Rear Axles
• A change in set-up of the rear wheels will affect the
center of balance of your chair.
• The farther you move the rear axles FORWARD, the
more likely it is that your chair will tip over backward.
• Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find the
best rear axle set-up for your chair. Do not change
the set-up UNLESS you are sure you are not at risk
to tip over.
• Adjust the rear wheel locks after you make any
change to the rear axles.
• If you fail to do so, the locks may not work.
• Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch
when locked.
WARnInG!
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.
• 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.
• To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both
rear wheel locks when you transfer to or from your
chair.
• Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock
on that side to slip and may allow the wheel to turn
when you do not expect it.
• Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch
when locked. If you fail to do so, the locks may not
work.

Modified Seat Systems
• Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise
Medical may alter the center of balance of this chair.
This may cause the chair to tip over.
• Do not change the seat system of your chair UNLESS
you consult your authorized supplier first.
• 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

Use only Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint
Systems (WTORS) which meet the requirements of ISO
7176-19:2001 - SAE J2249 Recommended Practice -
Wheelchair Tie down 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.
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.
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.
Postural supports and positioning devices should not be
relied on for occupant restraint.
Do not alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts,
components or seating.
Sudden stops or impacts can structurally damage your
chair. Chairs involved in such incidents should be
replaced.
