Positioning Belts (Optional); Push Handles; Seating Systems; Upholstery Fabric - Quickie Xplore 2 Hybrid Owner's Manual

I. POSITIONING BELTS (OPTIONAL)
Use a positioning belt only to help support your posture. 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
suffocate due to pressure from the belt.
2. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep 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 interferes
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.
PROHIBITED!
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 positioning 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 user who is comatose or agitated.
J. PUSH HANDLES
1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to propel
and control the chair. This helps to prevent a fall or tip-over.
2. Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
K. 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.
3. Never raise your seating system to a height of more than 22"
(measuring from the front of the seat pan to the floor).
L. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat sling and seat back as soon
as you can. If you fail to do so, the seat may fail and cause you
to fall. Worn fabrics may increase the potential for a fire hazard.
2. Sling fabric will deteriorate with age and use. Look for fraying,
thin spots, or stretching of fabric at rivet holes. Replace fabric
as required.
3. Be aware that washing may reduce flame retardation of the
fabric.

M. POWER SEATING
1. Operation
• While driving this wheelchair in the reclined, elevated, or tilted
position use caution.
• Do Not attempt to operate any power seating option while
positioned on an incline.
• Do Not attempt to operate any power seating option while this
wheelchair is in motion.
• Do not attempt to operate the lift or tilt power seating options
around children.
• Through programming it is possible to reverse the direction of
all powered seating functions, ensure you know which direction
your seat is going to move before operating.
2. Reduced Speed Driving (Creep)
This power chair is designed to automatically reduce the
maximum driving speed to a creep mode when certain power
seating limits are reached.
3. Pinch points
Pinch points may occur when operating the powered seating
options on this chair. Ensure all hands and body parts are clear
of all power seating components that may result in pinch points
before operating them.
4. Tilting Power Base with Push Handles
Do not attempt to tilt power wheelchairs by pulling down on the
push handles. Power wheelchairs have heavy bases. As such,
attempting to tilt a power wheelchair to traverse obstacles can
damage components in the seating system and/or modular
actuators.
5. Remain Clear During Power Accessory Operation Please stay
clear of any powered actuator while the component is in motion.
Sunrise power mechanisms move over large ranges of travel.
Users should be aware of their surroundings while components
are in motion.
6. Maximum User Weight
Do not exceed the weight capacity for your specific chair/
seating system configuration. Doing so could result in
premature failure or injury.
7. Latch Mode
While operating any power seating function in latched mode
use caution. In latch mode, powered seating will not stop until a
reverse command is performed or the end of travel is met.
