Cleaning Controls; Wheelchair Motors; Wheelchair Range - Sunrise Medical Wheelchair Directions For Use Manual

3.9. Cleaning controls

Should the control of your wheelchair become soiled or dirty, it can
be wiped with a damp cloth with a dilute disinfectant until clean.
This is important should the wheelchair be used by more than one
person to ensure there is no cross infection.
Speciality controls
Ensure that wafer boards, Joysticks (all variants), head arrays and
switches (all variants) are cleaned with a mild disinfectant and a
cleaning cloth to avoid any cross infection possibilities. Following
removal from chair regularly wash the Sip & Puff mouth piece and
tube. To maintain cleanliness and function.
WARNING:
Ensure control is switched off before cleaning.

3.10. Wheelchair motors

After prolonged use, the motors
will produce heat, which is radiat-
ed through the motors outer
casing. Do not touch the motors
outer casing for at least 30 minutes
after using the wheelchair, to allow
it to cool. (Fig. 4 and 5)

3.11. Wheelchair range

The range of your wheelchair can
be affected by many factors such
as user weight, terrain, ambient
temperature, use of powered op-
tions and battery condition. The
stated range in the sales literature
should be seen as the theoretical
maximum (ISO 7176; Part 4) and
may not be attained by every user
(also see section 9.11. in this
manual).
We recommend that every user initially limit their journey to half the
stated range, until they have confidence in the actual range their
wheelchair can attain. If your battery indicator is showing a low
charge then do not attempt a long journey unless you are confident
in reaching your destination and also returning to your home with-
out the risk of being left stranded.
