H. SAFETY CHECKLIST
Before Each Use Of Your Chair:
1. Ensure the chair rolls easily and that all parts work smoothly. Check
for noise, vibration, or a change in ease of use. (This may indicate
low tire pressure, loose fasteners, or damage to your chair).
2. Inspect any problem. Your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer can
help you find and correct the problem.
3. Check to see that both quick-release rear axles are locked. When
locked, the axle button will "pop out" fully. If not locked, the wheel
may come off and cause you to fall.
4. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place.
I. CHANGES AND ADJUSTMENTS
1. See your health care provider and have them adjust seating compo-
nents any time a change or adjustment needs to be made.
2. Unauthorized modifications or use of parts not supplied or
approved by Sunrise may change the chair structure. This will void
the warranty and may cause a safety hazard.
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. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
WARNING
1. Use extra care if you must ride your chair on a wet
or slick surface. If you are in doubt, ask for help.
2. Contact with water or excess moisture may cause
your chair to rust or corrode. Avoid all extreme weather situations
if possible.
a. Do not use your chair in a shower, pool or other body of
water. The chair tubing and parts are not water-tight and may
rust or corrode from the inside.
b. Avoid excess moisture (for example, do not leave your chair in
a damp bathroom while taking a shower).
c. Dry your chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use
water to clean it.
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.

K. TERRAIN
1. Based on ANSI/RESNA testing, Sunrise Medical recommends the
use of a caster wheel with a minimum diameter of 5-in, if the wheel-
chair will be overcoming obstacles up to 1/2-in on a regular basis.
2. Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as con-
crete, asphalt, indoor flooring, and carpets.
3. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil, or over rocky terrain.
4. If you use your chair on terrain that is rougher than described
above there is a danger that screws and bolts will loosen prema-
turely, and that damage to wheels or axles could put the rider at
risk of a fall, tip-over, or loss of control.
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.
