Advice to client
DANGER!
•
Do not rely on the lap belt only when the wheelchair and
occupant are transported in a vehicle, use the separate
occupant lap and diagonal restraints provided in the vehicle.
•
Before use we recommend that the lap belt be checked to
ensure that it is adjusted correctly, free from any obstruction or
adverse wear and that the buckle engages securely.
•
Failure to make sure that the lap belt is secure and adjusted
prior to use could cause serious injury to the user. e.g. too
loose a strap may allow the user to slip down in the chair and
risk suffocation.
Maintenance:
check lap belt and securing components at regular intervals for
any sign of fraying or damage. replace if necessary. clean the lap
belt with warm soapy water and allow it to dry.
DANGER!
the lap belt should be adjusted to suit the end user as detailed
above sunrise Medical also recommend that the length and fit of
the belt is checked on a regular basis to reduce the risk of the end
user inadvertently re-adjusting the belt to an excessive length.
If in doubt about the use and operation of the seat belt then ask
your healthcare professional, wheelchair dealer, carer or attendant
for assistance.
Options - Crutch holder
Crutch holder
this device permits crutches to be
transported directly on a wheelchair.
it has
a Velcro loop to fasten crutches or
other aids (Fig. 25).
WARNING!
never try to use or attempt to
remove the crutches or other aids
while moving.
Options - Therapy Table
Therapy table
the tray provides a flat surface for
most activities. Before using a tray, it
first has to be adjusted to the width
of the seat by an authorised dealer.
the user must be sitting in the
wheelchair during this adjustment
(Fig. 26).
Options - Step Tubes
Step Tubes (Fig.27)
step tubes are used by attendants to tip a
wheelchair over an obstacle. simply step on
the tube to push a wheel chair, for example,
over a kerb or step.
NOTE: sunrise Medical strongly
reccommends the use of a step tube on any
model where attendant use is the
predominant intended use. Damage to the
backposts may occur if you constantly use the backpost without a
step tube, as a lever to pull back on to tip the wheelchair.

Tyres and Mounting
Tyres and mounting
solid tyres are fitted as standard from the factory.
If pneumatic tyres are used, make sure that you maintain the
correct tyre pressure, as this can have an effect on wheelchair
performance. If the tyre pressure is too low, rolling resistance will
increase, requiring more effort to move the chair forward. Low tyre
pressure also has a negative impact on manoeuvrability. If the tyre
pressure is too high, the tyre could burst. the correct pressure for a
given tyre is printed on the surface of the tyre itself.
tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle tyre.
Before installing a new inner tube, you should always make sure
that the base of the rim and the interior of the tyre are free of
foreign objects. check the pressure after mounting or repairing a
tyre. It is critical to your safety and to the wheelchair's performance
that regulation air pressure be maintained and that tyres be in good
condition.
Maintenance and Care
Maintenance
• check the tyre pressure every 4 weeks. check all tyres for wear
and damage.
• check the brakes approximately every 4 weeks to make sure that
they are working properly
and are easy to use.
• change tyres as you would an ordinary bicycle tyre.
• all of the joints that are critical to using your wheelchair safely are
self-locking nuts. Please
check every three months to make sure that all bolts are secure
(see the section on torque).
safety nuts should only be used once and should be replaced
after use.
• Please use only mild household cleansers when your wheelchair
is dirty. use only soap and
water when cleaning the seat upholstery and lap belt.
• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it after use, to
avoid rust and salt corrosion.
• a small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied to quick
release axles approximately every 8 weeks. Depending on the
frequency and type of use, we recommend taking your wheelchair
to your authorised dealer every 6 months to have it inspected by
trained personnel.
CAUTION!
sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage the bearings
of the front and rear wheels. clean the wheelchair thoroughly after
exposure.
the following parts can be removed and sent to the manufacturer /
dealer for repair:
rear wheels, armrest, Hanger, anti – tips. these components are
available as spares. More details can be found in the parts manual.
Hygiene when being reused:
when the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared carefully, and
wiped and treated with spray disinfectant on all surfaces which
could come into contact with the user.
In doing this, you must use a liquid for alcoholic quick disinfection
for medical products and medical inventory when you require a
quick effect. Please pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions
of the disinfectant you are using.
In general, a safe disinfectant cannot be guaranteed on seams. we
therefore recommend, that you properly dispose of seat and back
slings in the case of micro bacterial contamination with active
agents according to § 6 infection protection law.
Storage
Please store/keep the wheelchair in a dry place.
