cause severe injury or death to you or to other persons.
Throughout this owner's manual and on the product you will see the
icons listed below to identify warnings and potential hazards.
A. Check all parts
NOTE: Check all parts for shipping damage. In case of damage, DO
NOT use. Contact Carrier/Sunrise for further instructions. Sunrise Medical
recommends that a health care provider experienced in seating and
positioning be consulted to determine if a JAY FIT 2U Back is appropriate.
Backs should only be set up by a Sunrise Medical authorized dealer.
B. Read and understand this manual
DO NOT set up this equipment without fi rst reading and understanding
the manual. If you are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions,
and Instructions, contact a Sunrise Medical authorized dealer -
otherwise injury or damage may occur.
C. Center of gravity
Placing a back support on a wheelchair may aff ect the center of gravity
of the wheelchair and may cause the wheelchair to tip backwards,
potentially resulting in injury. Always assess for the potential need
for anti-tips or amputee axle adapter brackets to be added to the
wheelchair to help increase stability.
D. Anti-tips
Anti-Tips: Anti-tip tubes can help keep your chair from tipping over
backward in normal conditions.
1.
Sunrise recommends the use of anti-tip tubes.
2.
Always assess the need for anti-tips or amputee axle adapter
brackets that could be added to the wheelchair to help increase
the stability of the wheelchair and seating system.
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.
E. Pushing or lifting
Pushing or Lifting: do not use the JAY FIT 2U back to move or push the
wheelchair.
1.
Do not use the JAY FIT 2U Back handle to lift the wheelchair. It is
intended only for back removal.
2.
Improper use of the back by pushing or pulling may cause the
back to unexpectedly detach from the wheelchair.
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.
F. Compatibility
The JAY FIT 2U back is designed to be compatible with most
wheelchairs with the following exception:
1.
Wheelchairs that are angle adjustable with recline or tilt, and result
in a back angle greater than 60° from the vertical.
JAY FIT 2U back use with these types of wheelchairs may cause the
back to accidentally disconnect from the wheelchair. This could result in
a fall or potential injury of the rider and/or caregiver.
