Foreword
Dear Customer,
We are very pleased that you have decided in favour of a high-
quality SUNRISE MEDICAL product.
This Owner’s manual will provide numerous tips and ideas so
that your new wheelchair can become a trustworthy and reliable
partner in your life.
Maintaining close ties to our customers means a lot to us at
Sunrise Medical. We like to keep you up-to-date about new and
current developments at our company. Keeping close to our
customers means: fast service, as little red tape as possible,
working closely with customers. When you need replacement
parts or accessories, or if you just have a question about your
wheelchair – we are there for you.
We want you to be satisfied with our products and service. At
Sunrise Medical we are constantly working to develop our
products further. For this reason, changes can occur in our
palette of products with regard to form, technology, and
equipment. Consequently, no claims can be construed from the
data or pictures contained in this owner’s manual.
The management system of SUNRISE MEDICAL is certified to
DIN EN ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and ISO 14001.
As the manufacturer, SUNRISE MEDICAL,
declares that the lightweight wheelchairs conform to the 93/42/
EEC 2007/47/EEC guideline.
Please contact your local, authorised SUNRISE MEDICAL

IMPORTANT:
DO NOT USE YOUR WHEELCHAIR UNTIL THIS
MANUAL HAS BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD.
Use
Wheelchairs are exclusively for a user who is unable to
walk or has limited mobility, for their own personal use,
when self-propelling and being moved by a third party
(pushed by attendant) within the home and outdoors.
The maximum weight limit (includes both the user and
any weight of accessories fitted to the wheelchair) is mar-
ked on the serial number label, which is affixed to the
cross-brace or the stabilising bar under the seat.
Warranty can only be issued if the product is used under
the specified conditions and for the intended purpose.
The expected life of the wheelchair is 5 years.
NO NON-STANDARD PARTS are to be fitted, other than
those officially approved by Sunrise Medical.
Area of Application.
The variety of options as well as the modular design means that
it can be used by those who cannot walk or have limited
mobility because of:
• Paralysis
• Loss of extremity (leg amputation)
• Extremity defect/deformity
• Joint contractures/joint injuries
• Illnesses such as heart and circulation deficiencies,
disturbance of equilibrium or cachexia as well as for
elderly people who still have strength in the upper body.
When considering provision, please also note the body size,
weight, physical and psychological constitution, the age of the
person, living conditions and environment.

ENGLISH
• 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.
DANGER!
• 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 wheel locks
• 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 wheel locks.
• 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").
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 145 kg, (XL=170 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.

ENGLISH
• 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 wheel locks
will only work if there is sufficient tyre pressure and if the
correct setting has been made (see the Chapter on "Wheel
locks").
• 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, wheel locks 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.
• 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!

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).
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, wheel locks or footrests.
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

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

POSITIONING OF WHEELCHAIR TIE DOWN RESTRAINTS
ON WHEELCHAIR:
1. Position of the front, (Fig.G) and rear, (Fig. H), wheelchair tie
down restraint and the tie down label.
LESS THAN 22KG 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.

RelaX2
ENGLISH
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 wheel
locks 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. 7-8).
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.
