H. POSITIONING BELTS (OPTIONAL)
Use positioning belts ONLY to help support the rider's posture.
Improper use of these belts may cause severe injury to or death of
the rider.
1. Make sure the rider does not slide down in the wheelchair
seat. If this occurs, the rider may suffer chest compression or
suffocate due to pressure from the belts.
2. The belts must be snug, but must not be so tight that they
interfere with breathing. You should be able to slide your
open hand, flat, between the belt and the rider.
3. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep the rider
from sliding down in the seat. Consult with the rider's doctor,
nurse or therapist to find out if the rider needs such a device.
4. Use positioning belts only with a rider who can cooperate.
Make sure the rider can easily remove the belts in an emer-
gency.
5. NEVER Use Positioning Belts:
a. As a patient restraint. A restraint requires a doctor's
order.
b. On a rider who is comatose or agitated.
c. As a motor vehicle restraint. 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.
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. POWER DRIVE (OPTIONAL)
Do not install a non Zippie-approved power drive on any Zippie
wheelchair. If you do:
1. It will affect the center of balance of your chair and may
cause a fall or tip-over.
2. It will alter the frame and void the warranty.
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. PUSH HANDLES (OPTIONAL)
When you have a attendant, make sure that this chair has push handles.
1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to hold
the rear of this chair, to prevent a fall or tip-over. Make sure
to use push handles when you have an attendant.
2. Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
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.
K. QUICK-RELEASE AXLES
1. Do not use this chair UNLESS you are sure that both quick-
release rear axles are locked. An unlocked axle may come
off during use and cause a fall.
2. An axle is not locked until the quick-release button pops out
fully. An unlocked axle may come off during use, resulting in a
fall, tip-over or loss of control and cause severe injury to the
rider or others.
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. REAR WHEELS
A change in set-up of the rear wheels will affect the center of bal-
ance of your chair.
1. The farther you move the rear axles FORWARD, the more
likely it is that your chair will tip over backward.
2. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find the best rear
axle set-up for your chair. Do not change the set-up UNLESS
you are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
3. Adjust the rear wheel locks after you make any change to the
rear axles.
a. If you fail to do so, the locks may not work.
b. Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch
when locked.
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.
M. REAR WHEEL LOCKS (OPTIONAL)
Rear wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a moving
wheelchair. Use them 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.
N. 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.
Do not change the seat system of your chair UNLESS you consult
your authorized supplier first.
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.
O. TRANSIT OPTION
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 forward-facing
mode for a 30 mph frontal impact test. The wheelchair must
be forward-facing during transport.
