Positioning Belts (Optional); Push Handles; Seating Systems; Upholstery Fabric - Sunrise Medical Quickie X2 Owner's Manual

I. POSITIONING BELTS (OPTIONAL)
WARNING
Use a positioning belt only to help support your posture. Im-
proper use of such belts may cause severe injury or death.
1. Make sure you are not at risk to slide down in the wheelchair
seat. If this occurs, you may suffer chest compression or suf-
focate due to pressure from the belt.
2. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep you from
sliding down in the seat. Consult your health care profes-
sional to find out if you need such a device.
3. The belt must be snug, but must not be so tight that it inter-
feres with breathing. You should be able to slide your open
hand, flat, between the belt and your stomach.
4. Make sure you can easily remove the belt in an emergency.
PROHIBITED!
Never use a positioning belt:
• In place of a motor vehicle seat belt. In an accident or
sudden stop you may be thrown from the chair. A positioning belt will
not prevent this, and further injury may
result from the belt.
• As a restraint. A restraint requires a doctor's order.
• On a user who is comatose or agitated.
J. PUSH HANDLES
WARNING
1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to propel
and control the chair. This helps to prevent a fall or tip-over.
2. Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
K. SEATING SYSTEMS
WARNING
1. Use of a seating system not approved by Sunrise may alter
the center of balance of this chair. This may cause a fall
or tip-over.
2. Never change the seating system of your chair unless you
consult your supplier first.
3. Never raise your seating system to a height of more than 22"
(measuring from the front of the seat pan to the floor).
L. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC
WARNING
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat sling and seat back as
soon as you can. If you fail to do so, the seat may fail and
cause you to fall. Worn fabrics may increase the potential for
a fire hazard.
2. Sling fabric will deteriorate with age and use. Look for fray-
ing, thin spots, or stretching of fabric at rivet holes. Replace
fabric as required.
3. Be aware that washing may reduce flame retardation of the
fabric.

M. POWER SEATING
Operation
1.
• While driving this wheelchair in the reclined, elevated, or
tilted position use caution.
• Do Not attempt to operate any power seating option
while positioned on an incline.
• Do Not attempt to operate any power seating option
while this wheelchair is in motion.
• Do not attempt to operate the lift or tilt power seating
options around children.
• Through programming it is possible to reverse the direction
of all powered seating functions, ensure you know which
direction your seat is going to move before operating.
Reduced Speed Driving (Creep)
2.
This power chair is designed to automatically reduce the
maximum driving speed to a creep mode when certain
power seating limits are reached.
Pinch Points
3.
Pinch points may occur when operating the powered seating
options on this chair. Ensure all hands and body parts are
clear of all power seating components that may result in
pinch points before operating them.
Tilting Power Base with Push Handles
4.
Do not attempt to tilt power wheelchairs by pulling down on
the push handles. Power wheelchairs have heavy bases. As
such, attempting to tilt a power wheelchair to traverse obstacles can
damage components in the seating system and/or
modular actuators.
Remain Clear During Power Accessory Operation
5.
Please stay clear of any powered actuator while the component is
in motion. Sunrise power mechanisms move over
large ranges of travel. Users should be aware of their surroundings
while components are in motion.
Maximum User Weight
6.
Do not exceed the weight capacity for your specific
chair/seating system configuration. Doing so could result in
premature failure or injury.
Latch Mode
7.
While operating any power seating function in latched mode
use caution. In latch mode, powered seating will not stop until
a reverse command is performed or the end of travel is met.
