• When using the lifting ramp make sure that the anti-

tip tubes fitted are positioned outside the danger

area.

• Secure your wheelchair on uneven ground or when

transferring (e.g. into a car) by using the brakes.

• If and whenever possible, during a journey in a

specially fitted vehicle for disabled people, vehicle

occupants should use the seats in the vehicle and

the appropriate restraint system. This is the only way

to ensure that occupants will have the maximum

protection if there is an accident. When using safety

elements offered by SUNRISE MEDICAL and using a

specially designed safety system, lightweight

wheelchairs can be used as a seat when being

transported in a specially fitted vehicle. (See the

Chapter on “Transportation”).

• Depending on the diameter and setting of the

castors, as well as the centre of gravity setting of the

wheelchair, the castors may begin to wobble at high

speeds. This can lead to the castors being blocked

and the wheelchair may tip over. Therefore, please

make sure that the castors are adjusted correctly

(see the Chapter “Castors”). In particular, do not

travel on an incline without brakes, travel at a

reduced speed. We recommend that novice users

use anti-tip tubes.

• Anti-tip tubes should prevent the chair tipping over

backwards unintentionally. Under no circumstances

should they take the place of transit wheels, and be

used to transport a person in a wheelchair with the

rear wheels removed.

• When reaching for objects (which are in front of, to

the side or behind the wheelchair) make sure that

you do not lean too far out of the wheelchair, as if you

change the centre of gravity there is a risk of tipping

or rolling over. The hanging of additional load (back

pack or similar items) onto your chair backposts can

affect the rearward stability of your chair, especially

when used in combination with recliner backrests.

This can cause the chair to tip backwards causing

injury.

• For thigh amputees you must use anti-tip tubes.

• Before setting off, check that your tyre pressure is

correct. For rear wheels it should be at least 3.5 bar (

350 kPa). The max. pressure is indicated on the tyre.

The knee-lever brakes will only work if there is

sufficient tyre pressure and if the correct setting has

been made (see the Chapter on “Brakes”).

• If the seat and back sling are damaged, you must

replace them immediately.

• Be careful with fire, in particular with burning

cigarettes. Seat and back slings can be set alight.

• If the wheelchair is subject to direct sunlight for a

long period of time, then parts of the wheelchair (e.g.

frame, legrests, brakes and sideguard) may become

hot (>41°C).

• Always make sure that the quick-release axles on the

rear wheels are set properly and lock in. If the button

on the quick-release axle is not pressed in, the rear

wheel cannot be removed.

WARNING !

• The effect of the knee-lever brake as well as the

general driving characteristics are dependant on tyre

pressure. The wheelchair is significantly lighter and

easier to manoeuvre when the rear wheels are

pumped up correctly and both wheels have the same

pressure.

• Make sure that your tyres have sufficient tread!

Please note that you are subject to any and all traffic

laws when driving in public traffic.

• Always be careful with your fingers when working or

adjusting the wheelchair!

• Settings on the wheelchair should only be carried out

by competent persons.
