G. WEIGHT LIMIT
1. Never exceed a total weight of 250 lbs, for the rider plus carried items. The weight capacity of your seating system is identified by a
label located on the inside cover of the battery compartment door on the power base.
2. Never use this seating system for weight training if the total weight (rider plus weights lifted) exceeds the indicated weight capacity
of the seating system.
3. Exceeding the weight limit is likely to damage the seat, frame or fasteners and may cause severe injury to you or others from seating
system failure.
4. Exceeding the weight limit will void the warranty.
H. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat cushion and seat back as soon as you can. Worn fabrics may increase the potential for a fire haz-
ard.
2. Be aware that washing may reduce flame retardation of the fabric.
I. POSITIONING BELTS (OPTIONAL)
1. Use a positioning belt only to help support your posture. Improper use of such belts may cause severe injury or death.
2. Make sure you are not at risk to slide down in the seating system seat. If this occurs, you may suffer chest compression or suffocate
due to pressure from the belt.
3. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep you from sliding down in the seat. Consult your health care professional to find out
if you need such a device.
4. The belt must be snug, but must not be so tight that it interferes with breathing. You should be able to slide your open hand, flat,
between the belt and your stomach.
5. Make sure you can easily remove the belt in an emergency.
6. 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 seating system. 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 rider who is comatose or agitated.
J. CONTROLLER SETTINGS
Be aware that you may need to adjust the controller settings of your seating system to reduce the risk of fall or tip-over.
1. Check and adjust the settings every six to twelve months (or more often, if needed).
2. Consult your supplier to adjust the control settings immediately if you notice any change in your ability to hold your torso erect.
K. TILTING, RECLINING, ELEVATING LEGRESTS
To prevent damage and personal injury, avoid operating these power functions near objects such as walls, tables or chairs. To avoid
injury, ensure other people, especially children, are clear of the system. If using a swing-away abductor, be sure not to tilt with
the abductor swung away. Otherwise, the abductor may collide with the tilt actuator when returning to the untilted position.
L. CHANGES AND ADJUSTMENTS
Never use non-Quickie parts or make changes to your chair unless authorized by Sunrise. (Doing so will void the warranty and
may create a safety hazard.)
1. If you modify or adjust this chair it may increase the risk of fall or tip-over.
2. Modifications unauthorized by Sunrise constitute remanufacturing of the wheelchair. This voids the warranty. The rider then assumes
all future liability for the wheelchair.
