M. MODIFIED SEAT SYSTEMS
Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise may alter
the center of balance of this chair. This may cause the
chair to tip over.
1. Do not change the seat system of your chair UNLESS you
consult your authorized supplier first.
2. Use of a non-validated system (wheelchair base and seating),
as a seat in a motor vehicle could result in increased risk of
severe injury or death in a vehicular mishap.
• Only a complete system (wheelchair base and seating) can
be validated for use as a seat in a motor vehicle.
• The seating provided may or may not be appropriate for
use as a seat in a motor vehicle in combination with this
wheelchair base.
• Before using this system as a seat in a motor vehicle, you
should verify that the seating manufacturer has validated
the seating in combination with this wheelchair base.
• Before using this system as a seat in a motor vehicle, you
should read and comply with all instructions for use pro-
vided by both Sunrise Medical and the seating manufactur-
er as well as the instructions for use of any other compo-
nent or accessory manufacturer.
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.
N. TRANSIT OPTION
1. Use only Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint
Systems (WTORS) which meet the requirements of SAE
J2249 Recommended Practice - Wheelchair Tiedown and
Occupant Restraint Systems For Use in Motor Vehicles. Do
not use WTORS designed to rely on the wheelchair structure
to transfer occupant restraint loads to the vehicle.
2. The wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward-facing
mode for a 30 mph frontal impact test. The wheelchair must
be forward-facing during transport.
3. In order to reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants,
wheelchair-mounted accessories, such as trays and respiratory
equipment, should be removed and secured separately.
4. Postural supports and positioning devices should not be
relied on for occupant restraint.
5. Do not alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts, compo-
nents or seating.
6. Sudden stops or impacts can structurally damage your chair.
Chairs involved in such incidents should be replaced.
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.
