Adjustments - Quickie Rumba Notice D'utilisation

Descending from kerbs
1. Approach slowly and carefully in reverse until the rear wheels are at the edge.
2 As slowly as possible, descend from the kerb in reverse and on the rear wheels. You will
feel more secure if you lean forward, but do not worry if you are unable to: the wheelchair
is extremely stable. The wheelchair is extremely stable and as long as you do not exceed
the construction limits, there is no risk.
3. The front part of the chair will in turn descend naturally from the kerb as the chair
continues away from it in reverse.
It may help, in a difficult situation, to lean back while the front ascends, and lean forward while the rear
wheels rise. However, too much movement in the seat at the wrong moment may make the situation worse,
for which reason it is better not to change position more than necessary.
E. ADJUSTMENTS
1. Adjustment of the footrest (Fig. 7): To adjust the height of a footrest, remove the securing nut from the
screw in the tube. Remove the screw, set the footrest at the height desired, and replace the screw in the
hole corresponding to that height. Secure the screw with the nut. For these adjustments it is recommended
you use a 10 mm. spanner.
Note: Make sure that the screws are tightened securely.
2. Adjustment of the armrests:
Height adjustment (Fig. 3): Turn the handle to the left to free the tube of the armrest. Raise as you wish,
and then turn the handle to the right to fix the position.
Seat width adjustment (Fig. 8): To adjust the width between the armrests, use a size 10 mm hexagonal
wrench to loosen the hexagonal screws on the armrest adapter retainers, which are located on the side
frame below the armrests, and pull the armrests outwards or inwards to achieve the desired position.
Tighten the screws securely. Make sure that the screws are secured with the counter-nuts.
3. Control Adjustment (Fig. 9): The control can be adjusted to various positions by pushing it along the
armrest. The control can be moved by turning the lever below the arm padding to the left. The position can
be secured by turning the lever to the right.
4. When the chair leaves the factory, the parameters of the controller are set to default. However, when
you want to carry out any alterations, then you should either send the wheelchair to Sunrise Medical or
contact your dealer, where a specialist can carry out this work. In this way incorrect programming and
therefore incorrect function of the wheelchair can be avoided.
Note: A programmer or a PC-based software program with the appropriate connecting lead are required to
program the wheelchair. Programming the controller of the wheelchair is only allowed through authorised
Sunrise Medical agents. Wrong controller settings could cause driving outside the safe limits and could
cause damage and injury.
