V . E M I ( E L E C T R O M A G N E T I C I N T E R F E R E N C E )
A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS
Sunrise provides a choice of many power wheelchair styles, sizes and adjust-
ments to meet the needs of the rider. However, final selection of a wheelchair
rests solely with you and your health care professional. Choosing the best
chair for you depends on such things as:
1. Your size, disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. Your intended use, and your level of activity.
3. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (in areas where you are
likely to use your chair).
Heed all warnings to reduce the risk of unintended brake release or chair movement:
1. Beware of the danger from hand-held transceivers. Never turn on or use a
hand-held transceiver while power to your chair is on. Use extra care if you
believe that such a device may be in use near your chair.
2. Be aware of nearby radio orTV stations, and avoid coming close to them.
3. If unintended movement occurs, turn your chair off as soon as it is safe to do so.
A. WHAT IS EMI?
4. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as positioning belts
or special seat systems).
1. EMI means: electromagnetic (EM) interference (I). EMI comes from radio wave
sources such as radio transmitters and transceivers. (A “transceiver” is a
device that both sends and receives radio wave signals).
2. There are a number of sources of intense EMI in your daily environment.
Some of these are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not, and you may not
be able to avoid them.
B. ADJUST CHAIR TO YOUR ABILITY
You need to work with your doctor, nurse or therapist, and your supplier, to
fit this chair and adjust the controller settings for your level of function and
ability level.
C. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN
3. Powered wheelchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
emitted from sources such as radio stations,TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones.
Before using this chair you, and each person who may assist you, should read
this entire Manual and make sure to follow all instructions. Review the warnings
often, until they are second nature to you.
4. EMI can also be produced by conducted sources or electo-static discharge (ESD).
D. WARNINGS
B. WHAT EFFECT CAN EMI HAVE?
The word “WARNING” refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that may cause
severe injury or death to you or to other persons.The “Warnings” are in four
main sections, as follows:
1. EMI can cause your chair, without warning, to:
1. V. — EMI
•
•
•
Release its brakes
Move by itself
Move in unintended directions
Here you will learn about electomagnetic interference and how it can affect
your chair.
1. VI — GENERAL WARNINGS
Here you will find a safety checklist and a summary of risks you need to be
aware of before you ride this chair.
2. VII — WARNINGS — COMPONENTS & OPTIONS
Here you will learn about your chair. Consult your supplier and your
health care professional to help you choose the best set-up and options
for your safety.
If any of these occurs, it could result in severe injury to you or others.
2. EMI can damage the control system of your chair.This could create a safety
hazard, and lead to costly repairs.
C. SOURCES OF EMI
The sources of EMI fall into three broad types:
1. Hand-Held Transceivers:
3. XI — BATTERIES
Here you will learn about battery and charger safety, and how to avoid injury.
The antenna is usually mounted directly on the unit.These include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Citizens band (CB) radios
“Walkie-talkies”
Security, fire and police radios
Cellular phones
Lap-top computers with phone or fax
Other personal communication devices
Note: Where they apply, you will also find
“Warnings” in other sections of this Manual.
Note: These devices can transmit signals while they are on, even if not in use.

2. Medium-Range MobileTransceivers:
•
•
4-Zero Touch Switch
5-Zero Touch Switch
These include two-way radios used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and
taxi cabs.The antenna is usually mounted on the outside of the vehicle.
3. Long-RangeTransceivers:
c) Specialty input devices with an unknown immunity level because the devices
were not tested with the S-525 and QTRONIX controller include:
• Treadle Switch
These include commercial radio and TV broadcast antenna towers and
amateur (HAM) radios. Note: The following are not likely to cause EMI problems:
Lap-top computers (without phone or fax), Cordless phones,TV sets or
AM/FM radios, CD or tape players.

D. DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE
EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get closer to the source.
For this reason, EMI from hand-held devices is of special concern.
(See C.1 above) A person using one of these devices can bring high levels
of EM energy very close to your chair without you knowing it.
Grasp Switch
• Wobble Switch
E. IMMUNITY LEVEL
1. The level of EM energy is measured in volts per meter (V/m). Every power
wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain level.This is called its “immunity level”.
2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is believed that a
20V/m immunity level will protect the power wheelchair user from the more
common sources of radio waves.
Individuals with physical limitations requiring the use of a specialty control input device
known not to be immune to 20V/m, or not known, should exercise extra care around
known sources of EMI.
3. The configurations tested and found to be immune to at least 20V/m are:
Quickie S-525 power wheelchair with a right-hand mounted Penny & Giles Pilot
integral controller, 16” seat width, 16” seat depth, single-post height adjustable
armrest, swing-away hanger and U1 gel cell batteries.
There is no way to know the effect on EMI if you add accessories or modify this chair.
Any change to your chair may increase the risk of EMI. Parts from other suppliers have
unknown EMI properties.
Quickie S-525 power wheelchair with a right hand mounted QTRONIX remote
joystick system, 16” seat width, 16” seat depth, single-post height adjustable arm-
rests, swing-away hangers and U1 gel cell batteries.
F. REPORT ALL SUSPECTED EMI INCIDENTS
4. a) Specialty input devices tested with the S-525 and QTRONIX controller
that were found to be immune to 20V/m include:
You should promptly report any unintended movement or brake release.
Be sure to indicate whether there was a radio wave source near your chair
at the time.

B. NOTICE TO ATTENDANTS
E. EMI
Make sure you heed all warnings and follow all instructions in each section of
this manual. (Be aware that warnings that apply to the rider also apply to you).
NOTES:
1. You need to work with the rider, and the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist, to
develop safe methods best suited to your abilities and those of the rider.
2. To manually push the chair you must release the motor locks.
Read SectionV to learn about EMI.To reduce the risk of unintended brake
release or chair movement:
1. Never turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while power to your chair is on.
Use extra care if you believe that such a device may be in use near your chair.
2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid coming close to them.
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn your chair off as soon
as it is safe.
•
Make sure you have full control over the chair when you release the
motor locks.When you do so the chair will not have brakes.
3. Propel this chair by the push handles only.They provide secure points for
you to hold the rear of the chair to prevent a fall or tip-over.
F. SAFETY CHECK-LIST
•
Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
Before each use of this chair:
HELPING THE RIDER OVERCOME AN OBSTACLE:
1. To prevent injury to your back, use good posture and proper body mechanics.
When you lift or support the rider or tilt the chair, bend your knees slightly
and keep your back as upright and straight as you can.
2. Before each maneuver, tell the rider what you plan to do, and explain what you
expect the rider to do.This will put the rider at ease and reduce the risk
of an accident.
1. Make sure the chair operates smoothly. Check for noise, vibration, or a change
in ease of use. (They may indicate low tire pressure, loose fasteners, or damage
to your chair).
•
If you detect a problem, make sure to repair or adjust the chair. Deferring
repair or adjustment could increase the risk for injury. Your supplier can
help you find and correct the problem.
2. Make sure batteries are charged. Green lights on charge indicator will light up
when charge is full.Yellow lights indicate battery charge level is getting low.
Red lights indicate batteries are in immediate need of charging.
3. Go straight up and straight down a curb or stair. If you turn, or climb or
descend at an angle, a fall or tip-over is likely.
4. Remind the rider to lean back when you tilt the chair backward.
5. Lower the chair slowly. Do not let the chair drop to the pavement or ground.
Doing so may damage the chair or injure the rider.

G. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS
J. TERRAIN
1. This chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as concrete, asphalt
and indoor flooring.
2. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil or over rough terrain. Doing so
may damage wheels, bearings, axles or motors, or loosen fasteners.
Never use non-Quickie parts or make a changes to your chair unless authorized
by Sunrise. (Doing so will void theWarranty, and may create a safety hazard).
1. If you modify or adjust this chair it may increase the risk of a fall or tip-over.
2. Modifications unauthorized by Sunrise constitutes remanufacturing of the
wheelchair.This voids the warranty.The rider then assumes all future liability
for the wheelchair.
K. STREET USE
H. WHEN SEATED IN A PARKED WHEELCHAIR
In most states, power chairs are not legal for use on public roads. Be alert to
the danger of motor vehicles on roads or in parking lots.
1. At night, or when it is hard to see, use reflective tape on your chair and clothing.
2. It may be hard for drivers to see you. Make eye contact with drivers before
you proceed.When in doubt, yield until you are sure it is safe.
1. Always turn off all power to your chair when you are parked, even for a
moment.This will prevent:
•
•
Accidental movement from contact with the joystick by you or others.
Unintended brake release or movement from EMI sources. (See SectionV)
L. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
2. Make sure that persons who help you (for example, store clerks) are aware
of the joystick and do not touch it. If they do, your chair may move suddenly
when you do not expect it.
To date, the U.S. Department of Transportation has not approved any tie down
system for transporting a wheelchair in a motor vehicle.
1. Never sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle. In an accident or sudden
stop you may be thrown from the chair.
I. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Your chair is not designed for use in a heavy rain storm, or in snowy or icy conditions.
1. Contact with water or excessive moisture can cause an electrical
malfunction.The frame, motors and other chair parts are not water-tight
and may rust or corrode from the inside.To avoid a chair failure:
•
Wheelchair belts are designed to position the rider only and will not protect you
in an accident; further injury may result from the belts.
2. Always move to an approved vehicle seat.You must be secured with proper
motor vehicle restraints.
3. Never transport this chair in the front seat of a vehicle. It may shift and
interfere with the driver.
•
•
•
Minimize exposure of your chair to a rain storm or very wet conditions.
Never take your chair into a shower, tub, pool or sauna.
Do not use your chair in fresh or salt water (such as at the edge of a
stream, lake, or ocean).
4. Always secure this chair so that it cannot roll or shift.
M.CENTER OF BALANCE
•
•
•
•
Make sure battery cover is secure.
Replace joystick boot if it becomes torn or cracked.
Make sure all electrical connections are secure.
The point where this chair will tip forward, back, or to the side depends on its
center of balance and stability.
Dry the chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use water to clean it.
2. Proceed slowly and use extra care if you must operate your chair on a wet
or slick surface.
THE CENTER OF BALANCE IS AFFECTED BY:
1. The seat height and seat angle.
2. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution.
3. Using this chair on a ramp or slope.
•
•
Do so only if you are sure it is safe.
Stop if one or both main wheels lose traction. If this occurs, you may lose
control of your chair or fall.
4. The use of a back pack or other options, and the amount of added weight.
•
Never operate your chair on a slope or ramp if there is snow, ice, water
or oil film present.
When in doubt, have someone help you.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FALL OR TIP-OVER:
1. Consult your supplier for information on modifications authorized by
Sunrise before you modify or adjust this chair.
•
Note:You may need to make additional changes to correct the center of balance.
2. Use extreme care until you know the balance points of this chair and how to
avoid a fall or tip-over.
3. When not in use, keep your chair in a clean, dry place.
Extra caution should be used when employing the disc switch or the proximity
head array as control devices. These two devices are susceptible to
malfunction when wet.

N.TRANSFERS
O. REACHING OR LEANING
Reaching or leaning affects the center of balance of your chair. If done improperly,
a fall or tip-over is likely.When in doubt, ask for help or use a device to extend
your reach.
It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance and agility.
Be aware that there is a point during every transfer when the wheelchair seat
is not below you.To avoid a fall:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE
CHAIR:
1. Never reach or lean if you must shift your weight sideways or rise up off the seat.
2. Never reach or lean if you must move forward in your seat to do so.Always
keep your buttocks in contact with the backrest.
1. Always turn off power before you transfer to or from your chair. If you fail
to do so you may touch the joystick and cause your chair to move when you
do not expect it.
2. Make sure motor locks are engaged.This keeps the chair from moving when
you transfer.
3. Never reach with both hands (you may not be able to catch yourself to prevent a
fall if you lose your balance).
4. Never try to pick up an object from the floor by reaching down between
your knees.
3. Work with your health care professional to learn safe methods.
•
•
Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself during a transfer.
Have someone help you until you are sure you can do a safe transfer
on your own.
5. Never put pressure on the footrests while reaching.This may cause the chair
to tip if you lean too far.
4. Move your chair as close as you can to the seat you are transferring to.
If possible, use a transfer board.
6. Never reach or lean over the top of the seat back.This may damage the back-
rest and cause you to fall.
5. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
6. Be careful of the footrests. If you can, remove or swing them out of the way.
•
Never stand on footrests when you transfer. Doing so may damage them or
cause your chair to tip.
IF YOU MUST REACH OR LEAN; DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Remember to:
1. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you wish to reach.
2. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.This makes the
chair more stable.
•
Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in the space between
the footrests.
7. Make sure armrests do not interfere.
Note:To do this: Move your chair past the object you want to reach, then back
up alongside it. Backing up will rotate the casters forward.
3. Turn off all power to your chair. If you fail to do so, you may touch the joystick
and cause your chair to move when you do not expect it.
4. Firmly grasp a rear wheel or an armrest with one hand.This will help to
prevent a fall if the chair tips.
8. Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can.This will reduce the risk
that you will miss the seat or fall.
P. DRESSING OR CHANGING CLOTHES
Be aware that your weight will shift if you dress or change clothes while seated
in this chair.To make the chair more stable, rotate the front casters until they
are forward.

Q. OBSTACLES
T. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FALL,
TIP-OVER OR LOSS OF CONTROL:
Obstacles you may have to overcome in daily use include door thresholds, lifts,
ramps and hazards such as potholes and broken pavement.These can damage
your chair and may cause a fall, tip-over or loss of control.
1. Never use your chair on a slope unless
you are sure you can do so without
losing traction.
2. Always go as straight up and as straight
down as you can.
1. Be aware that thresholds are very dangerous. (Even a small change in height
may stop a caster wheel and cause your chair to tip). You may need to:
•
•
Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.
Install a ramp at entry or exit doors.
•
Do not“cut the corner” on a slope
or ramp.
2. Keep your eyes moving when you ride; scan the area well ahead of your chair.
3. Make sure the floor areas where you use this chair are level and free of obstacles.
4. To help correct your center of balance:
•
Do not turn or change direction
on a slope.
Fig. 1
•
•
Lean your upper body forward slightly as you go up over an obstacle.
Press your upper body backward as you go down from a higher to
a lower level.
3. Always stay in the center of the ramp. Make
sure ramp is wide enough that you are not
at risk that a wheel may roll off the side.
4. Lean or press your body uphill.This will
help adjust for a change in the center of
balance caused by the slope. (Fig. 1)
5. Keep your chair moving at a slow,
steady speed. Keep control over the
chair at all times.
R. DRIVING IN REVERSE
Use extra care when you drive your chair in reverse.You may lose control or
fall if one of the rear wheels hits an object.
1. Operate your chair slowly and at an even speed.
2. Stop often and check to make sure your path is clear of obstacles.
•
On a descent, do not let your chair
accelerate beyond its normal speed.
If the chair picks up speed, center the
joystick to slow down or stop.
S. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDE HILLS
•
The center of balance of your chair changes when you are on a slope.
Note: “Slope” includes a ramp or side hill.Your chair is less stable when it is at an
angle. Never use this chair on a slope unless your are sure it is safe.When in doubt,
Note: The solid state controller of your chair
has a logic system that will help control your
speed when driving on a slope or up hill.
have someone help you.
Beware Of:
1. Steep slopes. Do Not use this chair on a slope steeper than 10%. (A 10% slope
means: One foot in elevation for every ten feet of slope length).
2. Wet or slippery surfaces (such as when ice, snow, water or oil film is present).A loss
of traction may cause a fall or tip-over.
•
If you stop, re-start slowly.
6. Never use rear wheel locks to try to
slow or stop your chair.This is likely to
cause the chair to veer out of control.
3. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression).These may
cause a fall or tip-over.
4. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. (A drop-off of as small as 3/4 inch can stop a
front caster and cause the chair to tip forward).

U. RAMPS AT HOME & WORK
W. CURBS & SINGLE STEPS
Make sure ramps meet all Building Codes for your area.
1. For your safety, have a licensed contractor build or remodel ramp to meet
all standards.
2. Note: The proper design will vary, depending on such things as: the length and height
of the ramp; the need for an intermediate platform; landing size; doors, and the direction
of swing, and; whether the ramp includes a turn or angle.
1. Your chair is not designed to drive up or down a curb or step more than
two (2) inches high. Doing so may:
•
•
Result in a fall or tip-over.
Damage the frame, wheels, axles or other chair parts, or loosen fasteners.
2. To prevent a fall or tip-over, use wheelchair access ramps or have someone
help you.
3. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at your own risk
and use extreme care.
At A Minimum:
1. Open sides of ramp must have side rails to prevent your chair from going
over the edge.
2. Slope must not be steeper than one inch in height for every one foot of
slope length.
3. Ramp surface must be even, and have a non-skid surface.
4. You may need to add a section at the top or bottom to avoid a lip or drop-off.
5. Ramp must be sturdy.Add bracing if needed, so ramp does not “bow” when
you ride on it.
•
Go as straight up or straight down as you can. Never turn or climb or
descend at an angle as a fall or tip-over is likely.
Proceed slowly, at a steady speed.
•
4. Make sure that persons who assist you review the “Tips For Attendants”
and heed all warnings.
X. STAIRS
V. WHEELCHAIR LIFTS
Never use this chair to go up or down stairs, even with an attendant.
Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.
Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses, and buildings to help you move from
one level to another.
Y. ESCALATORS
1. Always turn off all power to your chair when you are on a lift. If you fail to
do so, you may touch the joystick by accident and cause your chair to drive
off the platform. (Be aware that a “roll-stop” at the end of the platform may
not prevent this).
Never take this chair on an escalator, even with an attendant. Doing so is
likely to cause a fall or tip-over.
2. Make sure there is not a lip or drop-off at the top or bottom of the platform.
These may cause a fall or tip-over.When in doubt, have someone help you.
3. Always position the rider securely in the chair to help prevent falls while on a lift.
4. Avoid moving forward if a wheel is “hung up” on the lip of the ramp. Backup,
reposition the caster for a more direct approach.And slowly try again.

F. FOOTRESTS
Note: If you use parts or make changes not authorized by Sunrise it may
create a safety hazard and will void the Warranty.
1. At the lowest point, footrests should be at least 2 1/2 inches 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:
A. ANTI-TIP LEVERS
Never remove or alter anti-tip levers.They help keep your chair from tipping
over backward in normal use. Make sure rubber rollers are in good condition.
•
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.
B. ARMRESTS
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.
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.
G. MOTOR LOCKS
C. BATTERIES
1. Do not engage or disengage motor locks unless power to the chair is off.
2. With either one or both brakes released, the chair will not operate and the
battey charge indicator will flash 9 bars rapidly (if power to the chair is on).
3. Be aware that the chair will not have brakes when motor locks are in the
free-wheel position.
1. Only deep cycled sealed case construction batteries should be used in this
device.
2. To prevent an acid spill, always keep batteries upright (wet cell batteries only).
3. Never smoke or hold an open flame near batteries.They are a known
explosion hazard.
4. Make sure that the person pushing the chair has full control when motor
locks are disengaged.
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.
H. ON/OFF SWITCH
D. CUSHIONS & SLING SEATS
1. Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop the chair except in an emergency.
This will result in an abrupt stop, and may cause you to fall.
2. To slow your chair to a stop, return the joystick to neutral.
1. Quickie 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.
I. PNEUMATIC TIRES
•
Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out if you need such a
device for your well-being.
Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes your chair easier to use.
1. Do not use this chair if any of the tires are under- or over-inflated. Check
weekly for proper inflation level, as listed on the tire sidewall.
2. Low pressure in a tire may cause the chair to veer to one side and result in a
loss of control.
3. An over-inflated tire may burst.
4. Never use a gas station air pump to inflate a tire. Such pumps provide air at
high volume, and could cause the tire to burst.To prevent tire damage:
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.
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.
•
•
Use a hand pump (or a low volume air pump) to inflate tires.
Use a tire gauge to check pressure.
•
See Section IX,“Set-Up. Adjustment, & Use”, for proper torque settings.

5. Driving over sharp objects may cause damage to pneumatic tires and tubes.
6. This device has a feature known as a “split rim”, which eases tire service
and/or replacement.Air pressure should be removed from pneumatic tires
beofre attempting to split the rim.
M.SEATING SYSTEMS
1. Use of a seating system not approved by Sunrise may alter the center of
balance of this chair.This may cause a fall or tip-over.
2. Never change the seating system of your chair unless you consult your
supplier first.
J. POSITIONING BELTS (OPTIONAL)
Use a positioning belt only to help support your posture. Improper use of
such belts may cause severe injury or death.
N.UPHOLSTERY FABRIC
1. Make sure you are not at risk to slide down in the wheelchair seat. If this occurs,
you may suffer chest compression or suffocate due to pressure from the belt.
2. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep you from sliding down in the
seat. Consult your health care professional to find out if you need such a device.
3. The belt must be snug, but must not be so tight that it interferes with breathing.You
should be able to slide your open hand, flat, between the belt and your stomach.
4. Make sure you can easily remove the belt in an emergency.
5. Never use a positioning belt:
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat sling and seat back as soon as you can. If
you fail to do so, the seat may fail and cause you to fall.Worn fabrics may
increase the potential for a fire hazard.
2. Sling fabric will deteriorate with age and use. Look for fraying, thin spots, or
stretching of fabric at rivet holes. Replace fabric as required.
3. “Dropping down” into sling seat will weaken fabric and result in the need to
inspect and replace sling on a more frequent basis.
•
In place of a motor vehicle seat belt. In an accident or sudden stop you
may be thrown from the chair.A positioning belt will not prevent this,
and further injury may result from the belt.
4. Be aware that washing may reduce flame retardation of the fabric.
O. SUSPENSION
•
•
As a restraint.A restraint requires a doctor’s order.
On a rider who is comatose or agitated.
The S-525 (optional) suspension system does contain Dry Natural Rubber.The
suspension, or any other component on the chair, does not contain any latex
based product.The suspension components are enclosed and inaccessible to
the rider.
K. PUSH HANDLES
1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to propel and control the
chair.This helps to prevent a fall or tip-over.
2. Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
L. REAR WHEEL LOCKS (OPTIONAL)
If you request them, we will install rear wheel locks at Sunrise.
1. Rear wheel locks are not designed to slow or stop a moving wheelchair.
Never apply them when your chair is moving. Doing so may cause you to
veer out of control.
•
Use wheel locks only to keep the rear wheels from rolling when your
chair is at a complete stop.
2. Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that side to slip and
may allow the wheel to turn when you do not expect it.
3. Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 3/8 inch when locked. If you fail
to do so, the locks may not work.

NOTES
1. Work Surface For Set-Up:
Use a flat surface, such as a table, to assemble, adjust and check your chair.
This makes the steps easier and helps ensure a correct set-up.
2. Fasteners:
1. Persons who help a rider do one of the following tasks should review and heed the
warnings “Notice to Attendants” and all warnings in this Manual for that task.
2. The “Tips” that follow are suggestions only. Be aware that you will need to learn
safe methods best suited to the rider and to your abilities. Consult your health
care professional for instructions.
•
•
•
Many of the screws and bolts on this chair are special high-strength fasteners
and may have special coatings.
Many nuts are of the Nylock type.They have a plastic insert to help
prevent loosening.
A. TO CLIMB A CURB OR SINGLE STEP
Only use screws, bolts and nuts provided by Sunrise.
The following is one way to safely help a rider climb a curb or single step
going forward:
1. Stay behind the chair.
2. Face the curb and tilt the chair up on the rear wheels so that the front casters
clear the curb or step.
3. Move forward, placing the front casters on the upper level as soon as you are
sure they are past the edge.
1. Use of improper fasteners may cause the chair to fail.
2. Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage to chair parts.
3. If bolts or screws become loose,tighten them as soon as you can. Loose bolts or
screws can cause damage to other chair parts causing them to fail.
3. Washers & Spacers:
4. Continue forward until the rear wheels contact the face of the curb or step.
Lift and roll the rear wheels to the upper level.
•
•
Note the position of washers and spacers before disassembly.
To avoid damage to the frame, replace all washers and spacers when you
reassemble parts.
B. TO DESCEND A CURB OR SINGLE STEP
4. Torque Settings:
•
A torque setting is the optimal tightening for a particular fastener. Use a
torque wrench that measures inch-pounds to secure screws, nuts and bolts
on this chair.
The following is one way to safely help a rider descend a curb or single step
going backward:
•
Note: Unless otherwise noted, use a torque setting of 120 inch-pounds for all fasteners.
1. Stay at the rear of the chair.
2. Several feet before you reach the edge of the curb or step, turn the chair
around and pull it backward.
3. Proceed carefully. Look over your shoulder and carefully step back until you
are off the curb or stair and standing on the lower level.
4. Pull the chair toward you until the rear wheels reach the edge of the curb or
step.Then allow the rear wheels to slowly roll down onto the lower level.
5. When the rear wheels are safely on the lower level, tilt the chair back to its
balance point.This will lift the front casters off the curb or step.
6. Keep the chair in balance and take small steps backward. Be sure to look
where you are going.Turn the chair around and gently lower front casters
to the ground.

A. INTRODUCTION
1. Notes:
•
•
When you release the joystick it will return to neutral; the chair will slow
to a stop and the motor locks will reengage.
We recommend that you switch the chair off if you stop for any length of
time.This will conserve battery power.
•
•
•
Batteries supply the power for your chair.They contain a finite amount of
energy and have limits on how long they can store and supply energy.
You can charge batteries only a certain number of times before they will
fail and no longer hold a charge.
Note: Once the chair stops, switching the chair off will not affect the motor locks.
6. Joystick Boot (F)
Make sure the boot is not torn or cracked (this could allow debris, water or
moisture to enter). If the boot is torn or cracked, replace it as soon as you can.
7. Remote Switch Jacks (optional– not shown)
Two 1/8" switch jacks are optional to provide remote switch control of the on/off
power function and the mode select function. Any of the single switches offered
by Sunrise Medical can be used to connect to either or both of these jacks
(except the single zero touch switch).
For answers to questions about batteries, consult your supplier.
2. Use Proper Batteries:
Your chair operates on two 12 volt batteries.
•
They should be 22 NF or U1 size with a minimum of 30 ampere hour rating.
Only deep cycle sealed case construction batteries should be used in
this device.
•
When you buy a replacement, insist on a deep cycle sealed case type.
Do not use a car starter battery.
3. Breaking In:
•
A battery requires “breaking-in” for the first 6 to 12 charges. It will not
accept a full charge for this period.
It is best to limit the length of your trips until you break the batteries in
and you know the range of your chair.
1. Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop your chair except in an
emergency.
This will result in an abrupt stop, and may cause you to fall.
2. To slow or stop your chair, return the joystick to neutral.
•
4. Discharged Batteries:
•
•
•
Never allow a battery to completely discharge. If you operate your wheelchair
until it has almost stopped, you will greatly reduce the life of your batteries.
Never let a battery sit in a discharged condition. Give unused or stored
batteries a full charge once per month.
Always fully charge the batteries. Avoid “topping Off” with
frequent charges.
G. MOTOR LOCKS
Disconnect the motor locks when you need to manually push the chair. (For
example, in an emergency, or if batteries fail).
1. Do not disengage motor locks unless power to the chair is off.
2. Be aware that the chair will not have brakes in the free-wheel position.
3. Make sure that the person pushing the chair has full control when motor locks
are disengaged.
Never connect a life support or auxiliary device to a wheelchair battery.The electrical
system may fail, and result in severe injury to or death of rider.
1. To Disengage Motor Locks
B. BATTERY CHARGER
Push Lever (A) Down to the free-wheel
position.
2. Engage Motor Locks
Push the lever (A) up into the drive
position.

A battery charger produces a direct current (DC).When applied to a
discharged battery, this reverses the chemical reaction that led to its discharge.
1. Charge Rate. How fast a battery will charge depends on:
•
Its electrical capacity; state of charge; electrolyte temperature, and;
internal condition.
•
The DC output of the charger. (The charge rate will vary if the alternating
current (AC) supply is higher or lower than 110 volts).
2. Caution —To Avoid Damage to the Charger:
•
Never place the charger on top of a battery during charging. (Gases from
the battery can damage the charger and may lead to an explosion or fire).
