General safety notes and driving restrictions
The engineering and construction of this wheelchair has been
designed to provide maximum safety. International safety standards
currently in force have either been fulfilled or exceeded in parts.
Nevertheless, users may put themselves at risk by improperly using
their wheelchairs. For your own safety, the following rules must be
strictly observed.
Unprofessional or erroneous changes or adjustments increase the
risk of accident. As a wheelchair user, you are also part of the daily
traffic on streets and pavements, just like anyone else. We would
like to remind you that you are therefore also subject to any and all
traffic laws.
Be careful during your first ride in this wheelchair. Get to know your
wheelchair.
Before each use, the following should be checked:
• Fixed axles or Quick-release axles on the rear wheels.
• Velcro on seats and backrests
• Tyres, tyre pressure and wheel locks.
Before changing any of the adjustments of this wheelchair, it is
important to read the corresponding section of the user’s manual.
It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause this
wheelchair to tip over, especially when riding uphill or downhill.
When riding forwards over a step or up an incline, the body should
be leaning forward.
DANGER!
• NEVER exceed the maximum load of 125 kg for user plus any
items carried on the wheelchair. If you exceed the maximum
load, this can lead to damage to the chair, or you may fall or tip
over, lose control and may lead to serious injury of the user and
other people.
• When it is dark, please wear light clothing or clothing with
reflectors, so that you can be seen more easily. Make sure that
the reflectors on the side and back of the wheelchair are clearly
visible.
• We would also recommend that you fit an active light.
DANGER!
• To avoid falls and dangerous situations, you should first
practice using your new wheelchair on level ground with
good visibility.
• When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the
footboards.
• These should be flipped up beforehand and swung to the
outside as far as possible. Always position yourself as close as
possible to the place where you wish to transfer to.
• Only use your wheelchair with care. For example, avoid
travelling against an obstacle without braking (step, kerb edge)
or dropping down gaps.
• The wheel locks are not intended to stop your wheelchair in
motion. 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 unintended movement. Always apply both wheel locks;
otherwise, your wheelchair could tip over.
• Explore the effects of changing the centre of gravity on the
behaviour of the wheelchair in use, for example on inclines,
slopes, all gradients or when overcoming obstacles. Do this
with the secure aid of a helper.
• 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. Never try to climb and descend a slope diagonally.
• Avoid using an escalator which may lead to serious injury in the
event of a fall.
• Do not use the wheelchair on slopes more than 10°. The
Dynamic safe slope is dependant on the chair configuration,
the users abilities and the style of riding. As the users abilities
and style of riding cannot be predetermined then the max safe
slope cannot be determined. Therefore this must be determined
by the user with the assistance of an attendant to prevent
tipping. It is strongly recommended that inexperienced users
have Anti-tips fitted.
• It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause this
wheelchair to tip over, especially when riding uphill or downhill.
• Do not use your wheelchair on muddy or icy ground.
• Do not use your wheelchair where pedestrians are not allowed.
• To avoid hand injuries do not grab in between the spokes or
between the rear wheel and wheel lock when driving the
wheelchair.
• In particular when using lightweight metal handrims, fingers will
easily become hot when braking from a high speed or on long
inclines.
• 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, never carried, over
the steps (2 helpers). We recommend that users over 100 kg in
weight are not transferred in this way. 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. Do not use removable 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 brakes.
• 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.
• Depending on the diameter and setting of the castors, as well
as the centre of gravity setting of the wheelchair, the castors
may begin to wobble at high speeds. This can lead to castor
seizure and the wheelchair may tip over. Therefore, please
make sure that the castors are adjusted correctly (see the
Chapter “Castors”).

ENGLISH
DANGER!
• In particular, do not travel on an incline without brakes, travel
at a reduced speed. 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.
• 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. The hanging of
additional load (back pack or similar items) onto your chair
back posts can affect the rearward stability of your chair,
especially when used in combination with recliner backrests.
This can cause the chair to tip backwards causing injury.
• For thigh 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 brakes
will only work if there is sufficient tyre pressure and if the
correct setting has been made (see the Chapter on
"Brakes").
• If the seat and back sling are damaged, you must replace
them immediately.
• Be careful with fire, in particular with burning cigarettes. Seat
and back slings can be set alight.
• If the wheelchair is subject to direct sunlight / cold
temperature for a long period of time, then parts of the
wheelchair (e.g. frame, legrests, brakes and side guard) may
become hot (>41°C) / very cold (<0°).
• Always make sure that, if fitted, the quick-release axles on
the rear wheels are set properly and lock in (locking ball
bearings are showing completely through the axle sleeve). If
the button on the quick-release axle is not pressed in, the
rear wheel cannot be removed.
CAUTION !
• The effect of the knee-lever brake as well as the general
driving characteristics are dependant on tyre pressure. The
wheelchair is significantly lighter and easier to manoeuvre
when the rear wheels are pumped up correctly and both
wheels have the same pressure.
• Make sure that your tyres have sufficient tread!
• Please note that you are subject to any and all traffic laws
when driving in public traffic.
• Always be careful when handling or adjusting the
wheelchair!
• Adjustments which require tools should always be done by
authorized dealers.
• Clean the wheelchair regularly to avoid rust and salt
corrosion.
• Check the rivets, nuts and bolts to make sure they are tight
and that no wheelchair parts will come loose.
CAUTION !
• With all moving parts there is a natural risk of finger traps.
Please handle with care.
• The products shown and described in this manual may not
be exactly the same in every detail as your own model.
However, all instructions are still entirely relevant,
irrespective of detai differences.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to alter without notice
any weights, measurements or other technical data shown
in this manual. All figures, measurements and capacities
shown in this manual are approximate and do not constitute
specifications.
DANGER!
CHOKING HAZARD – This mobility aid uses small parts which
under certain circumstances may present a choking hazard to
young children.
Lifetime
The expected lifetime of this product is 5 years provided that:
it is used in strict accordance with the intended use
all service and maintenance requirements are met.

Transportability
DANGER!
There is a risk of serious injury or death if this if this advice is
ignored!
Transportation of your wheelchair within a vehicle:
A wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the equivalent
level of safety and security as a vehicle seating system. It is always
recommended that the user transfers to the vehicle seating. It is
recognised that this is not always practical for the user to be
transferred and in these circumstances, where the user must be
transported whilst in the wheelchair, the following advice must be
followed:
1. Confirm that the vehicle is suitably equipped to transport a
passenger in a wheelchair, and ensure the method of access/
egress is suitable for your wheelchair type. The vehicle should
have the floor strength to take the combined weight of the user, the
wheel chair and accessories.
2. Sufficient space should be available around the wheelchair to
enable clear access to attach, tighten and release the wheelchair
and occupant tie down restraints and safety belts.
3.The occupied wheelchair must be located in a forward facing
position and secured by the wheelchair tie down and occupant
restraint straps (WTORS tie downs meeting the requirements of
ISO 10542 or SAE J2249) in accordance with the WTORS
manufacturer’s instructions.
4. The wheelchair’s use in other positions within a vehicle has not
been tested e.g. transportation in a side facing position must not be
carried out under any circumstances (Fig. A).
5. The wheelchair should be secured by a Tie Down Restraint
system, conforming to ISO 10542 or SAE J2249 with non-
adjustable front straps and adjustable rear straps, which typically
use Karabiner clips/S hooks and tongue and buckle fittings. These
restraints generally comprise of 4 individual straps that are
attached to each corner of the wheelchair.
6. The tie-down restraints should be fitted to the main frame of the
wheelchair as indicated in the diagram on the following page, and
not to any attachments or accessories, e.g. not around the spokes
of wheels, brakes or footrests.
Fig.A
7. The tie–down restraints should be attached as close as possible
at an angle of 45 degrees and tightened securely in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8.Alterations or substitutions must not be made to the wheelchair
securement points or to structural and frame or components
without consulting the manufacturer. Failure to do so will invalidate
the ability of a Sunrise Medical wheelchair to be transported within
a vehicle.
9. Both pelvic and upper torso restraint belts must be used to
restrain the occupant to reduce the possibility of head and chest
impacts with the vehicle components and serious risk of injury to
the user and other vehicle occupants. (Fig B) The upper torso
restraint belt should be mounted to the vehicle “B” pillar - failure to
do so will increase the risk of serious abdominal injuries to the user.
10. A head restraint suitable for transportation (see label on
headrest) must be fitted and suitably positioned at all times during
transportation.
11. Postural supports (lap straps, lap belts) should not be used or
relied on for occupant restraint in a moving vehicle unless they are
labelled as meeting the requirements specified in ISO 7176-
19:2001 or SAE J2249.
12. The safety of the user during transportation depends upon the
diligence of the person securing the tie-down restraints and they
should have received appropriate instructions and/or training in
their use.
13. Wherever possible remove and stow safely away from the
wheelchair all auxiliary equipment, for example:
Crutches, Loose cushions and Tray Tables.
14. Articulating/elevating leg rest should not be used in the elevated
position when the wheelchair and user are being transported and
the wheelchair is restrained using Wheelchair Transport and
Occupant Restraints.
15. Reclining backrests should be returned to an upright position.
16. The manual brakes must be firmly applied.
17. Restraints should be mounted to the vehicle “B” pillar and
should not be held away from the body by wheelchair components
such as armrest or wheels.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS INSTRUCTION:
1. The pelvic restraint belt must be worn low across the front of the
pelvis so that the angle of the pelvic belt is within the preferred zone
of 30 to 75 degrees to the horizontal.
A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is desirable i.e.
closer to, but never exceeding 75degrees. (Fig C)
2. The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the shoulder and
across the chest as illustrated Fig d and e
Restraint belts must be adjusted as tightly as possible consistent
with user comfort.
Restraint belt webbing must not be twisted when in use.
The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the shoulder and across
the shoulder as illustrated in Fig D and E.
3. The attachment points to the chair are the inner front side frame
just above the castor, and the rear side frame. The straps are fitted
around the side frames at the intersection of the horizontal and
vertical frame tubes. (See Figs G - K)
4. The tie down symbol (Fig F) on the wheelchair frame indicates
the position of the wheelchair restraint straps. The straps are then
tensioned after the front straps have been fitted to secure the
wheelchair.
USER WEIGHT LESS THAN 22 kg
When the user being transported is a child, less than 22Kg mass
and the vehicle involved has less than eight (8) seated passengers
it is recommended that they be transferred to an UNCE Regulation
44 compliant child restraint system (CRS).
This type of restraint system provides a more effective occupant
restraint system than the conventional 3 point occupant restraint
system and some CRS systems also include additional postural
supports to assist in maintaining the position of the child when
seated.
Parents or care providers may consider the option, in some
circumstances, for their child is to remain in their wheelchair whilst in
transport due to the level of posture control and comfort provided by
the set up in the wheelchair.
We would recommend in such circumstances that a risk assessment
be carried out by your healthcare professional and relevant
competent persons.

Handling
FOLDING UP
First remove the seat cushion and the
back seat shell from the wheelchair
and flip up the (platform) footplate or
the individual footrests. Take hold of
the sling or the seat tubes in the
middle, from the back and pull
upwards. The wheelchair will then fold
up. To fold your wheelchair so that it
is as small as possible, e.g., to put
into a car, you can remove the
footrests (depending on the model).
For this purpose, open the latch from
the outside and swing the footrest to
the side. Then the footrest only has to
be drawn out of the receiver tube (Fig.
1).
UNFOLDING
Press down on the seat tube (see
figure). Your wheelchair is then
unfolded. Now snap the seat tubing
into position in the seat saddle. This
can be facilitated by slightly tipping
your wheelchair, as this means that
the weight is taken off one of the rear
wheels. Be careful not to get your
fingers caught in the cross-tube assembly. Refit the seat and the
back seat shell (Fig. 2).
GETTING INTO YOUR WHEELCHAIR INDEPENDENTLY
(FIG. 4.0)
• The wheelchair should be pushed up against
a wall or solid piece of furniture;
• The brakes should be on;
• The footplates should be hinged up;
• The user can then lower himself into the chair;
• The footplates should then be pushed down
and the feet rested on them in front of the
heel loops.
GETTING OUT OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
INDEPENDENTLY (FIG. 4.1)
• The brakes should be on;
• The hinged footplates should be hinged up;
• With one hand on each armrest, the person
should bend slightly forward to bring the body
weight to the front of the seat, and with both
feet firmly on the ground, one foot well back,
push up into the upright position.
WARNING!
• When standing, do not stand on the footplates or the
wheelchair will tip up. It is easier and safer to get into your
wheel chair if you turn the footplates up and out of the way or
take them off the wheelchair.
• Always engage the wheel brakes when transfering in or out of
the wheelchair.
Fig. 4.0
Fig. 4.1
Options - Brakes
Options – Step Tubes
STEP TUBES
Tipping tubes are used by attendants
to tip a wheelchair over an obstacle
Simply step on the tube to push a
wheelchair, for example, over a kerb
or step (Fig. 5).
CAUTION!
Sunrise Medical strongly recommends the use of a step tube on
transit wheeled models and also on any model where attendant use
is the predominant intended use, as damage to the backposts may
occur if you pull back on them to tip the wheelchair, in order to
overcome obstacles.
WHEEL LOCKS
Your wheelchair is equipped with
two wheel locks. They are applied
directly against the tyres. To engage,
press both brake levers forward
against the stops. To release the
locks, pull the levers back to their
original positions.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tyre tread
• Tyre pressure that is too low
• Wet tyres
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks
The wheel locks have not been
designed to be used as brakes for a
moving wheelchair. The wheel locks
should therefore never be used to
brake a moving wheelchair. Always
use the hand-rims for braking. Make
sure that the gap between the tyres
and wheel locks complies with given
specifications. To readjust, loosen the screw and set the
appropriate gap. Then re-tighten the screw (Fig. 6-7).
CAUTION!
• After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the wheel lock
gap and re-adjust if necessary.
• Mounting the wheel lock too close towards the wheel will result in
a higher effort to operate. This might cause the brake lever
extension to break!
• Leaning onto the brake lever extension while transferring will
cause the lever to break! Splashing water from tyres might cause
the wheel lock to malfunction.
DRUM BRAKES
Drum brakes permit safe and
convenient braking for an attendant.
They can also be set with the aid of a
locking lever (1) to prevent rolling.
The lever must snap audibly into place.
Drum brakes are not influenced by air
pressure inside the tyres (Fig.8).
WARNING!
• Drum brakes must only be adjusted
by authorised dealers
• Always operate the two brakes simultaneously to guarantee the
control of the driving direction!
• Drum brakes can only be used as a dynamic brake to stop the
wheelchair while driving.
• Always engage the wheel locks to secure the wheelchair during a
short or long stop, or for transfer.

Quick-release axles on rear wheel
The rear wheels are equipped with
quick-release axles. The wheels can
thus be fitted or removed without
using tools. To remove a wheel,
simply depress the quick-release
button on the axle (1) and pull the
wheel off the axle (Fig. 3).
CAUTION:
Hold the quick-release button on
the axle depressed when inserting

FOOTPLATES:
The footplates can be flipped up to make it easier to transfer to/from
the chair.
Lower leg length:
For users with longer legs, the leg
support can be lowered to the
appropriate level by using the
screws (1). Loosen the screws, push
the tubes to the desired position and
then re-tighten the screws (see
section on torque).
There must always be a minimum
gap of 2.5 cm between the footplates
and the ground (Fig. 9).
Angle-adjustable footboard
This can be adjusted to alter the
angle to the ground. Release screw,
pull it inwards, set the desired angle
and then push it on. After making the
adjustment, re-tighten the screw.
Make sure that after any
adjustment work, all screws are
tightened correctly (see the page on
torque).
Ensure that you maintain the
minimum gap to the floor (2.5 cm) (Fig. 10).
CAUTION!
• The legrests must not be used to lift or to carry the wheelchair.
• When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the
footboards. These should be flipped up beforehand or the
footrest should be swung to the outside as far as possible.
OPTION ELEVATING LEGREST
(Fig 11-13)
To remove, pull the lever (1), swing the
footplate outwards and then lift the
legrest out.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
The lower leg length can be adjusted
infinitely by releasing the screw (2).
Adjust the suitable height and tighten the
screw again.
CAUTION!
The distance between the footplate
and the ground must be at least 40
mm.
ANGLE ADJUSTMENT:
Press the lever (3) downward with one
hand while supporting the legrest with
the other hand to take the load off. When
a suitable angle is achieved, let go of the

WARNING!
• Keep hands clear of the adjustable mechanism between the
frame and the movable parts of the foot rest, while elevating or
lowering the footrest.
• Always make sure that the fasteners are secure.
• The foot rests must not be used to lift or to carry the
wheelchair.
• Risk of trapping fingers! When moving the foot rest up or
down, do not put your fingers in the adjusting mechanism
between the moving parts of the foot rest.
AMPUTEE SUPPORT
(Fig.15).
The Amputee Support can be
adjusted in every direction as
required.
CASTORS, CASTOR PLATES, FORKS
The wheelchair may veer slightly to the right or left, or the castors
may wobble. This may be caused by the following:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set properly.
• The castor angle has not been set correctly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; the wheels do
not turn smoothly.
The wheelchair will not move in a straight line if the castors have
not been properly adjusted. Castors should always be adjusted by
an authorised dealer. The wheel locks must be checked every time
the rear wheel position has been altered.
The seat height is determined by the
castor and rear wheel position. The
seat height can be adjusted by
altering the position of the rear
wheels and the castors and by using
spacers.
CAUTION!
After adjusting the seat height, all
screws must be re-tightened and the

ADVICE TO CLIENT
DANGER!
• Do not rely on the lap belt only when the wheelchair and
occupant are transported in a vehicle, use the separate
occupant lap and diagonal restraints provided in the vehicle.
• Before use we recommend that the lap belt be checked to
ensure that it is adjusted correctly, free from any obstruction or
adverse wear and that the buckle engages securely.
• Failure to make sure that the lap belt is secure and adjusted
prior to use could cause serious injury to the user. e.g. too
loose a strap may allow the user to slip down in the chair and
risk suffocation.
MAINTENANCE:
Check lap belt and securing components at regular intervals for any
sign of fraying or damage. Replace if necessary. Clean the lap belt
with warm soapy water and allow it to dry.
DANGER!
The lap belt should be adjusted to suit the end user as detailed
above Sunrise Medical also recommend that the length and fit of
the belt is checked on a regular basis to reduce the risk of the end
user inadvertently re-adjusting the belt to an excessive length.
If in doubt about the use and operation of the seat belt then ask
your healthcare professional, wheelchair dealer, carer or attendant
for assistance.
SEAT DEPTH
By removing the clips (1), the cross-brace unit (2) can be pushed
along the frame, which then alters the seat depth (depending on the

TRANSIT WHEELS
Transit wheels should be used
wherever your wheelchair would be
too wide if the rear wheels were used
(e.g., in airplanes, buses, etc.). After
the rear wheels have been removed
with the aid of the quick-release
axles, the transit wheels can
immediately be used to continue
riding. The transit wheels are
mounted so that they are approx. 3
centimeters above the ground when
not in use. They are thus out of the
way when riding, transporting or when tipping to pass over obstacles
(e.g., kerbs, steps, etc.) (Fig. 41).

Tyres and mounting
TYRES AND MOUNTING
Solid tyres are standard.
With pneumatic tyres make sure that you maintain the correct tyre
pressure, as this can have an effect on wheelchair performance. If
the tyre pressure is too low, rolling resistance will increase, requiring
more effort to move the chair forward. Low tyre pressure also has a
negative impact on manoeuvrability. If the tyre pressure is too high,
the tyre could burst. The correct pressure for a given tyre is printed
on the surface of the tyre itself (min. 3.5 bar).
Tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle tyre.
Before installing a new inner tube, you should always make sure
that the base of the rim and the interior of the tyre are free of foreign
objects. Check the pressure after mounting or repairing a tyre. It is
critical to your safety and to the wheelchair’s performance that
regulation air pressure be maintained and that tyres be in good
condition.
Maintenance and care
MAINTENANCE:
Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals.
Check all tyres for wear and damage at regular intervals, at least
annually. Change the tyres as soon as there is any sign of damage
or wear.
Check the seat and back sling for wear and damage at regular
intervals, at least annually. Change these items as soon as there is
any sign of damage or wear.
Check all frame and backrest components for wear and damage at
regular intervals, at least annually. Change these items as soon as
there is any sign of damage or wear.
Check the brakes for wear and damage at regular intervals, at least
annually. Check that they are working properly and are easy to use.
Change the brakes as soon as there is any sign of damage or wear.
Check to make sure all bolts are secure (see the section on torque)
at regular intervals, at least annually. All screws which are critical to
using the wheelchair safely have safety nuts. Safety nuts should
only be used once and should be replaced after use.
NOTE: If torque settings are given, then we strongly recommend
that you use a torque measuring device, in order to check that you
have tightened to the correct torque.
Please use only mild household cleaners when your wheelchair is
dirty. Use only soap and water when cleaning the seat upholstery
and lap belt.
Depending on the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking
your wheelchair to your authorised dealer regularly, but at least
within a year, to have it maintained by trained personnel.
CAUTION!
Sand, salt and sea water can damage the bearings of the front and
rear wheels. Clean and dry the wheelchair carefully, after they have
been exposed to these elements.
HYGIENE WHEN BEING REUSED:
When the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared carefully, and
be wiped and treated with spray disinfectant on all surfaces which
could come into contact with the user.
If you need to do this quickly, you must use a liquid, alcohol-based
disinfectant suitable for medical products and devices.
Please pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions of the
disinfectant you are using.
SAFETY CHECK:
As the user you will be the first person to notice any possible
defects. We therefore recommend that before each use, you check
the following:
The tyre pressure is correct.
The brakes work correctly.
All removable parts are securely fastened (e.g. armrests, footrest
hangers, quick-release axles ...).
If there is any damage/defect, please contact your authorised dealer.

The Dynamic safe slope is dependant on the chair configuration, the users abilities and the style of riding. As the users abilities and style of
riding cannot be predetermined then the max safe slope cannot be determined. Therefore this must be determined by the user with the
assistance of an attendant to prevent tipping. It is strongly recommended that inexperienced users have Ant-tips fitted.
The wheelchair conforms to the following standards:
a) Requirements and test methods for static, impact and fatigue strengths (ISO 7176-8)
b) Requirements for resistance to ignition in accordance with ISO 7176-16 (EN 1021-1)
