R. TRANSIT OPTION
WARNING
1. Use only Wheelchair Tiedown
and Occupant Restraint
Systems (WTORS) which
meet the requirements of SAE
J2249 Recommended Practice
- Wheelchair Tiedown and
Occupant Restraint Systems
For Use in Motor Vehicles.
Do not use WTORS designed
to rely on the wheelchair
structure to transfer occupant
restraint loads to the vehicle.
2. The wheelchair has been
dynamically tested in a for-
ward-facing mode for a 48-
km/h frontal impact test. The
wheelchair must be forward-
facing during transport.
3. In order to reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occu-
pants, wheelchair-mounted accessories, such as trays and
respiratory equipment, should be removed and secured sep-
arately.
4. Postural supports and positioning devices should not be
relied on for occupant restraint.
5. Do not alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts, compo-
nents or seating.
6. Sudden stops or impacts can structurally damage your chair.
Chairs involved in such incidents should be replaced.
S. REAR WHEEL LOCKS
WARNING
Rear wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a
moving wheelchair. Use the only to keep the rear wheels
from rolling when your chair is at a complete stop.
1. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your
chair when it is moving. Doing so may cause you to veer out
of control.
2. To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both rear
wheel locks when you transfer to or from your chair.
3. 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.
4. Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch when
locked. If you fail to do so, the locks may not work.
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.

T. MODIFIED SEAT SYSTEMS
Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise may alter
the center of balance of this chair. This may cause the
chair to tip over.
1. Do not change the seat system of your chair UNLESS you
consult your authorized supplier first.
2. Use of a seat system not approved by Sunrise may affect the
folding mechanism of this chair.
3. Use of a seating system not provided by Sunrise is prohibited
for transit use.
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.
U. ANTI-TIP TUBES
Anti-tip tubes can help keep your chair from tipping over backward
in most normal conditions.
1. Sunrise Recommends Use Of Anti-Tip Tubes:
a. UNLESS you are a skilled rider of this chair and are sure
you are not at risk to tip over.
b. Each time you modify or adjust your chair. The change
may make it easier to tip backward. Use anti-tip tubes
until you adapt to the change, and are sure you are not at
risk to tip over.
2. When locked in place (in the "down" position) anti-tip tubes
should be BETWEEN 1 1/2 to 2 inches off the ground.
a. If set too HIGH, they may not prevent a tip-over.
b. If set too LOW, they may "hang up" on obstacles you can
expect in normal use. If this occurs, you may fall or your
chair may tip over.
3. Keep Anti-Tip Tubes Locked In Place UNLESS:
a. You have an attendant; or
b. You have to climb or descend a curb, or overcome an
obstacle, and can safely do so without them. At these
times, make sure anti-tip tubes are up, out of the way.
