• The wheel locks have not been designed to be used as
brakes for a moving wheelchair.
• Always make use of elevators and ramps. If these are not
available, you should request the help of an attendant. They
should only grip the wheelchair at securely mounted parts. If
anti-tip tubes are fitted these must be folded away. A
wheelchair should never be lifted with an occupant; it should
only be pushed.
• If the seat and back sling are damaged, you must replace
them immediately.
• Do not lift or carry the wheelchair by the backtubes or the
pushhandles.
• Do not fit any unauthorized electronic equipment, powered or
mechanically operated mobility drives, hand-bike or any other
device that changes the intended use or the structure of the
wheelchair. Any combination with other medical devices
requires the approval of Sunrise Medical.
• Be careful with fire, in particular with burning cigarettes. Seat
and back slings can be set alight.
• If and whenever possible, during a journey in a specially fitted
vehicle for disabled people, vehicle occupants should use the
seats in the vehicle and the appropriate restraint system. This
is the only way to ensure that occupants will have the
maximum protection if there is an accident. When using
safety elements offered by SUNRISE MEDICAL and using a
specially designed safety system, the wheelchairs can be
used as a seat when being transported in a specially fitted
vehicle. (See the Chapter on "Transportation").
• Always make sure that the quick-release axles on the rear
wheels are set properly and lock in. If the button on the quick-
release axle is not pressed in, the rear wheel cannot be
removed.
• In particular when using lightweight metal handrims, fingers
will easily become hot when braking from a high speed or on
long inclines.
• If the wheelchair is subject to direct sunlight for a long period
of time, then parts of the wheelchair (e.g. frame, legrests,
brakes and sideguard) may become hot (>41°C).
• To avoid hand injuries do not grab in between the spokes or
between the rear wheel and wheel lock when driving the
wheelchair.
• When using the chair outside, always wear leather gloves
which will increase your grip and protect the fingers from dirt
and overheating.
• Do not use the wheelchair on slopes > 10°.
• The Dynamic safe slope is dependent on the chair
configuration, the user#s abilities and the style of riding. As
the user's abilities and style of riding cannot be pre-
determined then the max safe slope cannot be determined.
Therefore this must be determined by the user with the
assistance of an attendant to prevent tipping. It is strongly
recommended that inexperienced users have anti-tip tubes
fitted. Do not use your wheelchair on muddy or icy ground. Do
not use your wheelchair where pedestrians are not allowed.
• With all moving parts there is a natural risk of finger traps.
Please handle with care
• The wheelchair should not be used in heavy rain, snow,
slippery, or unsound surfaces. Do not use the wheelchair in
hazardous environments.
• Adjustments to your wheelchair, particularly to safety-related
components must be carried out by an approved dealer. This
applies to adjustments to wheel locks, anti-tip tubes, backrest
angle and height, lower leg length, COG, lap belt, rear wheel
toe-in and camber, seat height as well as toe-in and
directional stability of the castor fork.
• When using mobility accessories fitted to the wheelchair such
as handbikes, electronic power assist, etc, make sure that
your wheelchair is fitted with the appropriate castor forks,
approved for this use. Please contact your dealer if you have
any questions.
• Please note that in certain configurations the wheelchair may
exceed a width of 700 mm. If this is the case, under certain
circumstances, it may not be possible to use some or all of
the available escape routes from a building. It may be more
difficult or impossible to travel on public transport.
• Any combination with other medical devices requires the
approval of Sunrise Medical.

NOTE !
• The effect of the knee-lever brake as well as the general
driving characteristics are dependent on tyre pressure. The
wheelchair is significantly lighter and easier to manoeuvre
when the rear wheels are pumped up correctly and both
wheels have the same pressure.
• Make sure that your tyres have sufficient tread!
• Please note that you are subject to any and all traffic laws
when driving in public traffic.
• When it is dark, please wear light clothing or clothing with
reflectors, so that you can be seen more easily. Make sure
that the reflectors on the side and back of the wheelchair are
clearly visible. We would also recommend that you fit an
active light.
• Always be careful with your fingers when working or adjusting
the wheelchair!
