XENON 2 FF 11 Rev.4.0

• In particular, do not travel on an incline without

wheel locks, travel at a reduced speed. This product

has been tested to a maximum speed of 10kph. At

higher speeds, depending on the configuration and/or

physique/physical capabilities of the user, there may

be unexpected castor wobble. This can lead to injury of

the user.

• Riding sideways on to a slope or incline, increases the

possibility of the wheelchair tipping over sideways.

• Explore the effects of changing the centre of gravity

on the behaviour of the wheelchair, for example on

inclines, slopes, all gradients or when overcoming

obstacles. Do this with the secure aid of a helper.

• 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.

• With extreme settings (e.g. rear wheels in the most

forward position) and less than perfect posture, the

wheelchair may tip over even on a level surface.

• Lean your upper body further forward when going up

slopes and steps.

• Lean your upper body further back when going down

slopes and steps.

• Do not hang heavy items such as shopping bags or

backpacks, on the push handles, head rest or backrest

of the wheelchair.

• These can change the tipping point and there is a risk

of tipping backwards. 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.

• Only use your wheelchair properly. For example, avoid

travelling against an obstacle without braking (step,

kerb edge) or dropping down gaps.

• Only attempt stairs with the help of an attendant. There

is equipment available to help you, e.g. climbing ramps

or lifts, please use them. If there is no such equipment

available, then the wheelchair must be tipped and

pushed over the steps (2 helpers).

• In general, any anti-tip tubes fitted must be set

beforehand, so that they cannot touch the steps,

as otherwise this could lead to a serious tumble.

Afterwards the anti-tip tubes must be set back to their

correct position.

• Make sure that the attendant only holds the wheelchair

using securely mounted parts (e.g. not on the footrests

or the side guards).

• 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 wheel locks.

• For high 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 wheel locks will only work if there is

sufficient tyre pressure and if the correct setting has

been made (see the Chapter on "Wheel locks").

• The wheel locks are not intended to wheel locks your

wheelchair. They are only there to ensure that your

wheelchair does not begin rolling unintentionally. When

you stop on uneven ground, you should always use the

wheel locks to prevent such rolling. Always apply both

wheel locks; otherwise, your wheelchair could tip over.

• The wheel locks have not been designed to be used as

wheel locks for a moving wheelchair.

• Always make use of elevators and ramps. If these

are not available, you should request the help of an

attendant. They should only grip the wheelchair at

securely mounted parts. If anti-tip tubes are fitted these

must be folded away. A wheelchair should never be

lifted with an occupant; it should only be pushed.

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

replace them immediately.

• Do not lift or carry the wheelchair by the back tubes or

the push handles.

• Do not fit any unauthorized electronic equipment,

powered or mechanically operated mobility 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

the approval of Sunrise Medical.

• Be careful with fire, in particular with burning cigarettes.

Seat and back slings can be set alight.

• 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.
