J. STREET USE
In most states, power chairs are not legal for use on public roads. Be alert to
the danger of motor vehicles on roads or in parking lots.
1. At night, or when it is hard to see, use reflective tape on your chair and clothing.
2. It may be hard for drivers to see you. Make eye contact with drivers before you
proceed. When in doubt, yield until you are sure it is safe.
K. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
Identify whether your chair has been manufactured with the Transit Option installed.
If your chair is NOT equipped with the Transit Option:
1. NEVER let anyone sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle.
a. ALWAYS move the rider to an approved vehicle seat.
b. ALWAYS secure the rider with proper motor vehicle restraints.
2. In an accident or sudden stop the rider may be thrown from the chair.
Wheelchair seat belts will not prevent this, and further injury may result from
the belts or straps.
3. NEVER transport this chair in the front seat of a vehicle. It may shift and inter-
fere with the driver.
4. ALWAYS secure this chair so that it cannot roll or shift.
5. Do not use any chair that has been involved in a motor vehicle accident.
L. CENTER OF BALANCE
The point where this chair will tip forward, back, or to the side depends on
its center of balance and stability.
The Center Of Balance Is Affected By:
1. The seat height and seat angle.
2. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution.
3. Using this chair on a ramp or slope.
4. The use of a back pack or other options, and the amount of added weight.
To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over:
1. Consult your supplier for information on modifications authorized by Sunrise
before you modify or adjust this chair.
NOTE– You may need to make additional changes to correct the center of balance.
2. Use extreme care until you know the balance points of this chair and how to
avoid a fall or tip-over.
