VII. WARNINGS: COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
Note: If you use parts or make changes not authorised by Sunrise Medical it may
create a safety hazard and will void the Warranty.
A. ANTI-TIP LEVERS
Never remove or alter anti-tip levers. They help keep your chair from tipping over
backwards in normal use. Make sure rubber rollers are in good condition.
B. ARMRESTS
Armrests detach and will not bear the weight of this chair.
1. Never lift this chair by its armrests. They may come loose or break.
2. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.
C. BATTERIES
1. Only deep cycle sealed case construction batteries should be used in this device.
2. Always keep batteries upright.
3. Never smoke or hold an open flame near batteries. They are a known explosion hazard.
4. Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you handle batteries.
5. Read all of section XI. Batteries before attempting to change, or charge batteries.
D. CUSHIONS AND SLING SEATS
1. Quickie/Sopur sling seats, standard foam cushions, and other body supports, are not
designed for the relief of pressure.
2. If you suffer from pressure sores, or if you are at risk that they will occur, you may
need a special seat system or a device to control your posture.
•Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out if you need such a device for
your well-being.
E. FASTENERS
Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on this chair are special high-strength fasteners. Use of
improper fasteners may cause your chair to fail.
1. Only use fasteners provided by Sunrise Medical.
2. If fasteners become loose, tighten them as soon as you can.
3. Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage to chair parts.
•See Section IX, "Set-Up, Adjustment and Use", for proper torque settings.
F. FOOTRESTS
1. At the lowest point, footrests should be at least 2 1/2 inches (65 mm) off the
ground. If set too LOW, they may "hang up" on obstacles you can expect to find in
normal use. This may cause the chair to stop suddenly and tip forward.
2. To avoid a trip or fall when you transfer:
•Make sure your feet do not "hang up" or get caught in the space between the
footrests.
•Avoid putting weight on the footrests, as the chair may tip forward.
•Remove or swing the footrests out of the way, if possible.
3. Never lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and will not bear the weight of
this chair. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.
