H. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS
1.
If you modify or adjust this chair, it may increase the risk of a
tip-over UNLESS you make other adjustments as well.
2. Consult your authorized supplier BEFORE you modify or adjust
your chair.
3. We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to
the change, and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
4. Unauthorized modifications by the end-user, dealer or any
other individual, including the use of parts not supplied or
approved by Sunrise may change the chair structure. This will
void the warranty and may cause a safety hazard.
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.
I. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
1. Use extra care if you must ride your chair on a
wet or slick surface. If you are in doubt, ask for
help.
2. Contact with water or excess moisture may cause your chair to rust
or corrode. Avoid all extreme weather situations if possible.
a. Do not use your chair in a shower, pool or other body of water.
The chair tubing and parts are not water-tight and may rust or
corrode from the inside.
b. Avoid excess moisture (for example, do not leave your chair in a
damp bathroom while taking a shower).
c. Dry your chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use
water to clean it.
d. Avoid contact with salt or salty conditions as this may cause
damage to the chair
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.
J. TERRAIN
1. Based on ANSI/RESNA testing, Sunrise Medical recommends the use
of a caster wheel with a minimum diameter of 5", if the wheelchair
will be overcoming obstacles up to 1/2" on a regular basis.
2. Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as con-
crete, asphalt, indoor flooring, and carpets.
3. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil, or over rocky terrain.
4. If you use your chair on terrain that is rougher than described above
there is a danger that screws and bolts will loosen prematurely, and
that damage to wheels or axles could put the rider at risk of a fall,
tip-over, or loss of control.
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.

L. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
If possible and feasible, the rider should transfer to the Original Equipment
Manufacturer vehicle seat and use the OEM vehicle restraint.
Sunrise Medical does provide a WC-19 Wheelchair Tie-Down and Occupant
Restraint System, otherwise called a Transit Option. To Identify whether your
wheelchair has been manufactured with the Transit Option installed, look for
four points of securement. Two Front hooks (A), and two rear hooks (B).
These points are recognized by the securement point decal which can be
found on or near the securement points. (C) is a non-removable fastener.
This component must remain securely attached to the frame in order to
maintain Transit Safety
If your wheelchair has the Transit Option, please review the Transit Secure-
ment supplement that was provided with the wheelchair for additional infor-
mation and instructions. You can request a copy from your authorized suppli-
er, or call Sunrise medical at 1-800-333-4000 if you don't have it.
Front Transit
hook
Look for this symbol on your wheelchair. It indicates wheel-
chair securement points which conform to ANSI/RESNA
(1998) V.1 - Section 19 and/or ANSI/RESNA (2012) V.4 WC-19.
For more Transit related information, see the "Transit Secure-
ment Supplement" included with your chair.
If your chair is NOT equipped with the Transit Option:
1. NEVER let anyone sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle.
a. ALWAYS move the rider to an approved vehicle seat.
b. ALWAYS secure the rider with proper motor vehicle restraints.
2. In an accident or sudden stop the rider may be thrown from the
chair. Wheelchair seat belts will not prevent this, and further injury
may result from the belts or straps.
3. NEVER transport this chair in the front seat of a vehicle. It may shift
and interfere with the driver.
4. ALWAYS secure this chair so that it cannot roll or shift.
5. Do not use any chair that has been involved in a motor vehicle acci-
dent. The frame and/or components may have been changed due to
the accident. Such items could be, but are not limited to: bent, loos-
ened, and/or broken components that were subjected to an impact.
Failure to heed these warnings puts you and others that may assist you at a
high risk of injury.
