Q 7
3. Adjust the rear wheel locks after you make any change to the
rear axles.
a. If you fail to do so, the locks may not work.
b. Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch
when locked.
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.
M. REAR WHEEL LOCKS (OPTIONAL)
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 you to veer out
of control.
2. To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both rear
wheel locks when you transfer to or from your chair.
3. 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.
4. 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.
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.
N. MODIFIED SEAT SYSTEMS
Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise 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.
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.
O. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat and seat back as soon as
you can. If you fail to do so, the seat may fail.
2. Sling fabric will weaken with age and use. Look for fraying or
thin spots, or stretching of fabrics at rivet holes.
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 flame
retardation of the fabric.
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.

P . BACKREST TENSION ADJUSTABLE
The Tension Adjustable Backrest is a versatile back intended to
replace wheelchair seat sling upholstery. It is designed to provide
simple, comfortable and effective support to help maximize func-
tion and increase seating tolerance. In addition, it is lightweight,
durable, and easy to use.
Sunrise Medical recommends that a clinician such as a doctor or
therapist experienced in seating and positioning be consulted to
determine if the Backrest Tension Adjustable is appropriate. Backs
should only be installed by an authorized Sunrise Medical supplier.
Maximum user weight 265 lbs. (120 kg.)
Installing a back support on a wheelchair may affect the
center of gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the
wheelchair to tip backwards potentially resulting in injury.
Always assess for the potential need for anti-tippers to
be added to the wheelchair to help increase the stability.
Do not use the Backrest Tension Adjustable to push or
lift the wheelchair. Improper use may cause the back to
unexpectedly detach from the wheelchair.
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.
Q. FOLDING LOCK DOWN ANGLE
ADJUSTABLE BACKREST
Only adjust backrest angle when in a safe and stable position. You
may increase the likelihood of tipping or instability.
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.
R. SEAT BACK
Adjusting the seat back depth could cause the strut tube
to be located in a position where it could contact the user
and cause skin breakdown or other serious injuries.
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.
