H. REAR WHEEL HUB LOCK
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.
1. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair when it is
moving. Doing so may cause a fall or tip-over.
2. To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always engage the hub lock when
you transfer to or from your chair.
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.
I. 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.
1. Do not change the seat system of your chair UNLESS you consult your
authorized dealer fi rst.
2. Use of a seating system not approved by Sunrise Medical may aff ect the
folding mechanism of this chair.
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.
J. SEAT AND BACK UPHOLSTERY
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat and seat back as soon as you can. If
you fail to do so, the seat or seat back may fail.
2. Sling fabric will weaken with age and use. Look for fraying, thin spots, or
stretching of fabrics especially at edges and seams.
3. "Dropping down" into your chair will weaken fabric and result in the
need to inspect and replace the seat more often.
4. Be aware that laundering or excess moisture will reduce the fl ame
retardation qualities of the fabric.
5. If Tension Adjustable upholstery is present, loosen straps or remove
upholstery prior to folding or unfolding the chair.
