Settings

The average wheelchair user does not exist.
This is why Sunrise Medical wheelchairs can
be adjusted according to the specifi c needs of
the user.
In this, we make a distinction between
wheelchair settings and wheelchair adjustment
options. Settings are carried out only once
and must be executed by qualifi ed specialists,
unless explicitly stated otherwise. Adjustment
options can be carried out by the user. These
adjustment options do not require the use of
tools.
Warning!
It is not allowed to change the technical
specifi cations of the wheelchair.
Do not make any changes to the electrical
circuit.
Modifi cations to the wheelchair or to any
parts thereof are not permitted.
Caution!
Parts of the wheelchair that are intended, for
servicing or repair, to be removed without
the use of tools (e.g. electronics and battery
covers) can have an adversery eff ect on the
electrical functioning of the wheelchair if they
are missing or not placed back in the right
position.

5.1 Seating system

The extensive settings with respect to the
seating system allow for optimum support of

the body ( Seating system). The following
setting options are possible:
1. Seat depth and seat width
2. Backrest angle
3. Armrest height
4. Lower leg length
5. Angle of the footplate

5.2 Seat height

Depending on the specifi c circumstances of the
user of the wheelchair the seat height can be
set. Every optional seat height lays within the
maximum safe slope as described in EN12184
(2009) ClassB. Lowering the seat height has a
positive infl uence on the (dynamic) stability.
Warning!
Increasing seat height has a negative eff ect
on dynamic stability
