4.1 General warnings

WARNING!
• Always ensure that your wheelchair is switched off
before attempting to mount or dismount.
• Always ensure that you are able to operate all controls
from a comfortable position. Paying attention to your
posture is essential to ensure your continued comfort
and well being.
• Always make sure that you can be seen clearly,
especially if you intend using your wheelchair in poor
light.
• This wheelchair has been built to match the needs of
a particular user. If used by another user then it may
need to be adjusted and reprogrammed.
• Do not let children or others use your wheelchair.
• Avoid spilling liquids on to the controller or its
connections. Especially hot, sticky, sugary or corrosive
liquids. Such contamination may compromise the safe
operation of the control system.
DANGER!
CHOKING HAZARD – This mobility aid uses small
parts which under certain circumstances may present a
choking hazard to young children.

4.2 Features and options

NOTE: Some of the options shown in this manual may
not be available in your country and may also restrict
the overall physical limits of the standard product (e.g.
max. speed, user weight limit, etc.). Those limitations are
marked on the order form, in the technical manual and
in this owner's manual. For further information please
consult your Sunrise Medical authorised dealer.

4.3 Kerbs

DANGER!
• Never descend a kerb backwards. Please read
carefully the section 4.33 on kerb climbing in this

or use on escalotors. It is unsafe to do so and could
cause personal injury or damage the chair. The Jive

kerb.
• We recommend that users with upper trunk instability
wear further customised restraint systems to keep
the upright body position during decending or
