DANGER!
• 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).
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.
• 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.

DANGER!
• 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").
• 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.

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.
Positioning of wheelchair tie down restraints on wheelchair:
1. Location of the front and rear tie down labels (Fig.G - H).
2. Position of the front, (Fig.I) and rear, (Fig.J), wheelchair tie
down restraint and the tie down label.

Minimum User Weight
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 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 cushionl (Fig. 2).
FIG. 1
FIG. 2
GETTING INTO YOUR WHEELCHAIR
INDEPENDENTLY (FIG. 3)
• 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)
• 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.
FIG. 3
FIG. 4
Options - Step Tubes
STEP TUBES (FIG.5)
Step tubes are used by attendants to tip a
wheelchair over an obstacle. Simply step
on the tube to push a wheel chair, for
example, over a kerb or step.
CAUTION!
Sunrise Medical strongly reccommends
the use of a step tube on any model
where attendant use is the predominant
intended use. Damage to the backposts
may occur if you constantly use the backpost without a step
tube, as a lever to pull back on to tip the wheelchair, in order to
overcome obstacles.

Options - Brakes
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.

BRAKE LEVER EXTENSION
The extension for the brake lever
can be removed or folded down.
The longer lever helps to minimise
the effort needed to set the wheel
locks (Fig.8).
CAUTION!
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!
CAUTION!
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..
FIG. 8
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. Your wheelchair
cannot be moved when the drum
brakes are set (Fig.9).
CAUTION!
Drum brakes must only be adjusted by authorised dealers.

FIG. 16
Options - Castors
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
CAUTION!
After adjusting the seat height, all screws must be re-tightened
and the wheel lock must be readjusted.
The castors must be set at 90°
ADJUSTING THE CASTOR AXLE ANGLE
(Fig.17-18).
Release the screws (1), set the castor angle to 90°. Retighten
the screws.
CAUTION!
The castor angle must be set the same on both sides.
POSITION OF AXLE ADAPTOR
The axle adaptor can be fitted in front of the back tube for better
drive characteristics, or behind it for greater security against

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.

Daily Checks
CAUTION!
As the user, you are the first person to notice any possible
defects. We therefore recommend that before each use,
you check the items in the following list:
• Check for correct tyre pressures
• Check that the brakes work correctly
• Check that all removable parts are secure, e.g.
armrest, footrest, quick-release axle etc.
• Check for visible damage e.g. on the frame, backrest,
seat sling and back sling, wheels, footplate etc
If there is any damage or malfunction, please contact your
authorised dealer.
TYRES AND MOUNTING
Solid tyres are fitted as standard from the factory.
If pneumatic tyres are used, 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.
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
HYGIENE WHEN BEING REUSED:
When the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared carefully,
and wiped and treated with spray disinfectant on all surfaces
which could come into contact with the user.
In doing this, you must use a liquid for alcoholic quick
disinfection for medical products and medical inventory when
you require a quick effect. Please pay attention to the
manufacturer’s instructions of the disinfectant you are using.
In general, a safe disinfectant cannot be guaranteed on
seams. We therefore recommend, that you properly dispose of
seat and back slings in the case of micro bacterial
contamination with active agents according to § 6 infection
protection law.
STORAGE

• Please use only mild household cleansers when your
wheelchair is dirty. Use only soap and
water when cleaning the seat upholstery and lap belt.
• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it after use,
to avoid rust and salt corrosion.
• A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied to
quick release axles approximately every 8 weeks. Depending
on the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking your
wheelchair to your authorised dealer every 6 months to have it
inspected by trained personnel.
CAUTION!
Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage the
bearings of the front and rear wheels. Clean the wheelchair
thoroughly after exposure.
The following parts can be removed and sent to the
manufacturer / dealer for repair:
Rear wheels, Armrest, Hanger, Anti – tips. These components
