Use

Wheelchairs are exclusively for children and adults who are
unable to walk or have limited mobility, for their own personal
use, when self-propelling and being moved by a third party
(pushed by attendant), within the home and outdoors.
The maximum weight limit (includes both the user and any
weight of accessories fitted to the wheelchair) is marked on
the serial number label, which is affixed to the crossbar or
stabiliser bar below the seat.
Warranty can only be taken on if the product is used under the
specified conditions and for the intended purposes.
The intended lifetime of the wheelchair is 5 years.
Please DO NOT use or fit any 3rd party components to the
wheelchair unless they are officially approved by Sunrise
Medical.
DANGER!
• Do not fit any unauthorized electronic equipment.
• Do not fit powered or mechanically operated mobility de-
vices, drives, hand-bike or any other device that changes
the intended use or the structure of the wheelchair.
• Any combination with other medical devices requires appro-
val directly from Sunrise Medical.

Area of application

mean that it can be used by those who cannot walk or have
limited mobility e.g. because of:
• Paralysis
• Loss of extremity (leg amputation)
• Extremity defect deformity
• Joint contractures/joint injuries
• Illnesses such as heart and circulation deficiencies,
disturbance of equilibrium or cachexia as well as for elderly
people who still have the strength in the upper body.
When considering provision, please also note the body size,
weight, physical and psychological constitution, the age of the
person, living conditions and environment.
Operating Conditions
The wheelchair can be used indoors as well as outdoors in self-
propelled or attendant configurations, on dry, firm, relatively
smooth surfaces. It is not recommended for use in a storm,
torrential rain, snow and ice or other extreme weather
conditions.
