Adverse Conditions; Ramps; Transfer To And From The Chair; Lift And Tilt Modules - Quickie Salsa R2 Instructions For Use Manual

4.16 Adverse conditions

Please be aware that when driving your wheelchair in
adverse conditions, e.g. on wet grass, mud, ice, snow or
other slippery surfaces, you may experience a reduction in
the grip and traction of your wheelchair.
WARNING!
We recommend you take extra precautions in these
conditions, particularly on hills and slopes; your wheelchair
could become unstable or skid causing possible injury.
NOTE: Extreme variances in temperature may trigger the
self protect mechanism in the control system. If this occurs
the control system will temporarily shut down to prevent
damage to the electronics or the chair.
DANGER!
When you are using a Powered Scooter or Wheelchair,
take extra care with loose or long items of clothing.
Moving parts, such as wheels, can be potentially dangerous
or even fatal if clothing becomes entangled.

4.17 Ramps

WARNING!
When using a ramp, please ensure that it is capable of
taking the combined weight of the power chair and yourself.
If a ramp is being used to load a chair into a vehicle, please
ensure the ramp is properly secured to the vehicle.
Always approach the ramp head-on and exercise caution.
CAUTION!
Please ensure your ramp is suitable for the product you
are transporting.

4.18 Transfer to and from the chair

WARNING!
• Sunrise Medical recommend that you consult your
health care professional for assistance in developing
your personal front or side transfer technique to best
suit your needs and avoid any personal injury.
• Ensure controller is switched off during transfers to
avoid unintentional movement.
• If a reclining arm rest is fitted, please ensure that
the reclining support bar is secured into the recline
receiver that is attached to the seat frame.

4.19 Lift and tilt modules

WARNING!
Please be aware that the lift and tilt modules present a trap
hazard. Make sure that when operating the tilt and lift it is
free from all clothing, hands, feet and other extremities to
prevent injury.
WARNING!
• Do not drive on ramps or slopes with the seat tilted,
reclined or raised. Before attempting to climb or decline
a slope, return to an upright position
• The power Tilt and power Lift/Tilt modules are factory
fitted for optimum stability and for conformance to strict
standard requirements. Changing the fitted position
of the module can reduce the stability of the product,
therefore do not change this setting.
WARNING!
Risk of trapping fingers:
The optional protection guard if fitted, secures the
moving parts within the lift / tilt mechanism. Although
better protected, always be careful not to get your fingers
trapped in the mechanism. It is recommended to re-install
the protection guard as described in the Salsa technical
manual after any service or repairs to the lift / tilt module.
Please consult your approved Sunrise Medical Dealer.
