the chair.
3. Any modification or disassembly can potentially create an unsafe situa-
tion where rider and/or attendant are put at risk.

MK-100070 RevA 6
ENGLIS V. GENERAL WARNINGS
WARNING
If your chair is NOT equipped with the Transit Option:
1. NEVER let anyone sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle.
a. ALWAYS move the rider to an approved vehicle seat.
b. ALWAYS secure the rider with proper motor vehicle restraints.
2. 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.
3. NEVER transport this chair in the front seat of a vehicle. It may shift
and interfere with the driver.
4. ALWAYS secure this chair so that it cannot roll or shift.
5. Do not use any chair that has been involved in a motor vehicle acci-
dent. The frame and/or components may have been changed due to
the accident. Such items could be, but are not limited to: bent, loos-
ened, and/or broken components that were subjected to an impact.
Failure to heed these warnings puts you and others that may assist you at a
high risk of injury.
M. W EN YOU NEED ELP
WARNING
For The Rider: Make sure that each person who helps you reads and fol-
lows all warnings and instructions that apply.
For Attendants:
1. Work with the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist to learn safe meth-
ods best suited to your abilities and those of the rider.
2. Tell the rider what you plan to do, and explain what you expect the
rider to do. This will put the rider at ease and reduce the risk of an
accident.
3. Make sure the chair has push handles. They provide secure points for
you to hold the rear of the chair to prevent a fall or tip-over. Check
to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
4. To prevent injury to your back, use good posture and proper body
mechanics. When you lift or support the rider or tilt the chair, bend your
knees slightly and keep your back as upright and straight as you can.
5. Remind the rider to lean back when you tilt the chair backward.
6. When you descend a curb or single step, slowly lower the chair in
one easy movement. Do not let the chair drop the last few inches to
the ground. This may damage the chair or injure the rider.
7. To avoid tripping, unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the way.
8. Whenever you aren’t attending the wheelchair, ALWAYS use the wheel-
lock to secure the rear wheels, and lock the anti-tip tubes in place.
If you fail to ask for help when in doubt, you run a high risk of a fall, tip-over or
loss of control that may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

Transit Securement supplement that was provided with the wheelchair for
additional information and instructions. You can request a copy from your
authorized supplier, or call Sunrise medical at 1-800-333-4000 if you don’t
have it.

Look for this symbol on your wheelchair. It indicates wheel-
chair securement points which conform to ANSI/RESNA
(1998) V.1 - Section 19 and/or ANSI/RESNA (2012) V.4 WC-19.

VI. SAFET WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
A. CENTER OF BALANCE
WARNING
The point where this chair will tip forward, back or to the side depends on
its center of balance and stability. ow your chair is set up, the options you
select and the changes you make may affect the risk of a fall or tip-over.
1. The Most Important Adjustment Is:
The position of the rear wheels. The more you move the rear
wheels forward, the more likely your chair will tip over backward.
2. The Center Of Balance Is Also Affected By:
a. A change in the set-up of your chair, including:
• The distance between the rear wheels.
• The amount of rear wheel camber.
• The seat height and seat angle.
• Backrest angle.
b. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution.
c. Riding your chair on a ramp or slope.
d. A back pack or other options and the amount of added weight.
3. To Reduce The Risk Of An Accident:
a. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out what axle
and caster position is best for you.
b. Consult your authorized supplier BEFORE you modify or adjust
this chair. Be aware that you may need to make other changes
to correct the center of balance.
c. ave someone help you until you know the balance points of
your chair and how to avoid a tip-over.
d. Use anti-tip tubes.
If you fail to heed these warnings, you are at a high risk of a fall, tip-over or
loss of control that could cause severe injury to the rider or others.
B. DRESSING OR C ANGING CLOT ES
WARNING
Your weight may shift if you dress or change clothes while seated in this
chair.
To reduce the risk of a fall or tip-over:
1. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
This makes the chair more stable.
2. Lock anti-tip tubes in place. (If your chair does not have anti-tip
tubes, back it up against a wall and lock both rear wheels).
If you fail to heed this warning, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss
of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
C. OBSTACLES
WARNING
Riding over curbs or obstacles can cause tipping and serious bodily harm. If
you have any doubt that you can safely cross any curb or obstacle, ALWAYS
ASK FOR ELP. Be aware of your riding skills and personal limitations.
Develop new skills only with the help of a companion.
To avoid the risk of traversing obstacles:
1. Keep a lookout for danger – scan the area well ahead of your chair
as you ride.
2. Make sure the floor areas where you live and work are level and free
of obstructions.
3. Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.
4. Install a ramp at entry or exit doors. Make sure there is not a drop
off at the bottom of the ramp.
5. To elp Correct Your Center Of Balance:
a. Lean your upper body FORWARD slightly as you go UP over an
obstacle.
b. Press your upper body BACKWARD as you go DOWN from a
higher to a lower level.
6. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, do not go over an obstacle without
help.
7. Keep both of your hands on the handrims as you go over an obsta-
cle.
8. Never push or pull on an object (such as furniture or a doorjamb)
to propel your chair.
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.
D. FRONT CASTER LIFT
WARNING
Front caster lift can occur when the front wheels, ordinarily in contact with
the ground, are either intentionally, or unintentionally caused to lift from
the ground while the rear wheels remain in contact. Pitch control (partial
or full) should NEVER be attempted without consulting your healthcare
advisor and making sure that anti-tips are installed.
If you fail to heed this warning, you are at a high risk of damage to your
chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control that may occur and cause severe
injury to the rider or others.
E. REAC ING OR LEANING
WARNING
If you reach or lean it will affect the center of balance of your chair. This
may cause you to fall or tip over. When in doubt, ask for help or use a
device to extend your reach.
1. NEVER reach or lean if you must shift your weight sideways or rise up
off the seat.
2. NEVER reach or lean if you must move forward in your seat to do
so. Always keep your buttocks in contact with the backrest.
3. NEVER reach with both hands (you may not be able to catch your-
self to prevent a fall if the chair tips).
4. NEVER reach or lean to the rear unless your chair has anti-tip tubes
locked in place.
5. DO NOT reach or lean over the top of the seat back. This may
damage one or both backrest tubes and cause you to fall.
6. If You Must Reach Or Lean:
a. Do not lock the rear wheels. This creates a tip point and makes
a fall or tip-over more likely.
b. Do not put pressure on the footrests.
c. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you wish to
reach.
d. Do not try to pick up an object from the floor by reaching
down between your knees. You are less likely to tip if you reach
to the side of your chair.
e. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
This makes the chair more stable.
f. Firmly grasp a rear wheel or an armrest with one hand. This will
help to prevent a fall if the chair tips.
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. MOVING BACKWARD
WARNING
Use extra care when you move your chair backward. Your chair is most
stable when you propel yourself forward. You may lose control or tip over
if one of the rear wheels hits an object and stops rolling.
1. Propel your chair slowly and smoothly.
2. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, make sure to lock them in place.
3. Stop often and check to be sure your path is clear.
If you fail to heed this warning, you are at a high risk of damage to your
chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control that may occur and cause severe
injury to the rider or others.

ENGLIS VI. SAFET WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
G. ESCALATORS
WARNING
NEVER use this chair on an escalator, even with an attendant. If you do, a fall or tip-over is likely.
If you fail to heed this warning you and others that may be assisting you, are at a high risk of severe
injury.
. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDE ILLS
WARNING
Whenever possible, avoid riding on a slope, which includes a ramp or sidehill. This will change the cen-
ter of balance of your chair. Your chair is less stable and more difficult to manuever. when it is at an
angle. When moving up a hill, anti-tip tubes may not prevent a fall or tip-over.
1. DO NOT use your chair on a slope steeper than 10%. (A 10% slope means: one foot in elevation
for every ten feet of slope length.)
2. ALWAYS go as straight up and as straight down as you can. (Do not “cut the corner” on a slope
or ramp.)
3. DO NOT turn or change direction on a slope.
4. When you have to use a ramp, always stay in the CENTER of the ramp. Make sure ramp is wide
enough that you have no risk of going off the edge.
5. DO NOT stop on a steep slope. If you stop, you may lose control of your chair.
6. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair. This is likely to cause your chair
to veer out of control.
7. ALWAYS be aware of:
a. Wet or slippery surfaces.
b. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression). These may cause a fall or tip-
over.
c. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope or ramp. A drop-off as small as 3/4 inch can stop a
front caster and cause the chair to tip forward.
8. To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over:
a. Lean or press your body UP ILL. This will help adjust for the change in the center of balance
caused by the slope or sidehill.
b. Keep pressure on the handrims to control your speed on a down slope. If you go too fast
you may lose control.
c. ASK FOR ELP any time you are in doubt.
9. Ramps At ome & Work– For your safety, ramps at home and work must meet all legal require-
ments for your area:
a. AVOID A DROP-OFF
Make sure there is a section at the top or bottom to smooth out the transition.
b. ALWAYS stay in the center of the ramp and control your speed.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and
can possibly cause severe injury to the rider or others.

I. TRANSFERS
WARNING
It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance and agility. Be aware that there is a
point during every transfer when the wheelchair seat is not below you. To avoid a fall:
1. Work with your health care advisor to learn safe methods for transfers.
a. Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself during a transfer.
b. ave someone help you until you learn safe transfer methods.
2. Lock the rear wheels before you transfer.
3. Be aware that the chair can still slide and/or tip. The wheel lock keeps the rear wheels from
rolling while you are perforrming the transfer.
4. Make sure that the pneumatic tires are properly inflated. Low tire pressure may allow the rear
wheel locks to slip. (see table in Section G “Pneumatic Tires”
5. Move your chair as close as you can to the seat you are transferring to.
If possible, use a transfer board.
6. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
7. If you can, remove the footrests, or swing them out of the way.
a. Make sure your feet do not catch in the space between the footrests.
b. Avoid putting weight on the footrests as this may cause the chair to tip.
8. Make sure armrests are removed, or out of the way and do not interfere with the transfer.
9. Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can. This will reduce the risk that the chair
will tip or move away from you.

J. CURBS & SINGLE STEPS
WARNING
Before riding over curbs, and negotiating even a single step, ALWAYS ask for assistance first. Curbs
and steps can cause tipping and serious bodily harm. When in doubt as to your ability to avoid, or
traverse any obstacle, always ask for help. Be aware of your riding skills and personal limitations.
Develop new skills only with the help of a companion.
For Attendant: Each person who assists the rider with curbs and steps should read and follow all
instructions and warnings pertaining to attendants, and caregivers.
1. Do not try to climb a high curb or step (more than 4 inches high) UNLESS you have help. Doing
so may cause your chair to exceed its balance point and tip over.
2. Go straight up and straight down a curb or step. If you climb or descend at an angle, a fall or
tip-over is likely.
3. Be aware that the impact of dropping down from a curb or step can damage your chair or
loosen fasteners.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur
and can possibly cause severe injury to the rider or others.

A. ANTI-TIP TUBES
WARNING
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. When locked in place (in the “down” position) anti-tip tubes should
be BETWEEN 1 1/2 to 2 inches off the ground.
a. If set higher than 2 inches, they may not prevent a tip-over.
b. If set lower than 2 inches, they may “hang up” on obstacles and
cause a fall or tip over.
3. If you have to climb or descend a curb, or overcome an obstacle it
may be necessary to have an attendant make sure the anti-tip tubes
are rotated up, and out of the way, so that the chair and rider do
not get stuck and/or become unstable.
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.
B. ARMRESTS
WARNING
Armrests detach and will not bear the weight of this chair.
1. NEVER lift this chair by its armrests. They may come loose or break.
2. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.
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.
C. CASTER PIN LOCKS
WARNING
Always use both pin locks when transferring in and out of the chair.
Caster pin locks only keep the front caster wheels from changing direction,
they do not lock-out the front wheels from rotation. To prevent the wheel-
chair from rolling, you must engage the rear wheel locks.
If you propel your wheelchair with the caster pin locks engaged, the chair
will be prevented from turning.
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.
D. CUS IONS & SLING SEATS
WARNING
1. Quickie sling seats and standard foam cushions are not designed for
the relief of pressure.
2. If you suffer from pressure sores or if you are at risk that they will
occur, you may need a special seat system or a device to control your
posture. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out if you
need such a device for your well-being.
3. Seat slings are not intended to be used as a direct seating surface. A
cushion or other seating surface should be placed on the sling
before use.
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. FASTENERS
WARNING
Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on this chair are special high-strength
fasteners. Use of improper fasteners may cause your chair to fail.

the same type and strength, as indicated by the markings on the
heads).
2. Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage to
chair parts.
3. If bolts or screws become loose, tighten them as soon as you can.
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. FOOTRESTS
WARNING

ground. If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on obstacles you can
expect to find in normal use. This may cause the chair to stop sud-
denly and tip forward.
2. To Avoid A Trip Or Fall When You Transfer:
a. Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in the space
between the footrests.
b. Avoid putting weight on the footrests, as the chair may tip for-
ward.
c. Footrests should be swung out of the way or removed whenever
entering or exiting the wheelchair.
3. NEVER lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and will not
bear the weight of this chair. Lift this chair only by non-detachable
parts of the main frame.\

WARNING
Use positioning belts ONLY to help support the rider’s posture. Improper
use of these belts may cause severe injury to or death to 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 slid-
ing down in the seat. Consult with the rider’s doctor, nurse or ther-
apist 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 emergency.

c. DO NOT USE 3 in 1 oil, or WD-40 ® for lubrication. Only use Teflon based Lubricant when working
on this wheelchair.
D. REAR AXLES AND AXLE PLATES
The most important adjustment on the Quickie wheelchair is the position of the rear axle. The center of
gravity, wheel camber and wheelbase are all determined by the axle adjustment.
Use a torque setting of 144 in.-lbs. when adjusting rear axle.
WARNING
The more you move the rear wheels forward, the more likely the chair will tip over backwards. Always make
adjustments in small increments, and check the stability of the chair with a spotter to prevent a tip-over. We
recommend that anti-tip tubes are always used in conjunction with this type of adjustment.
1. Center of Gravity
Moving the center of gravity to the front will lighten the force required to turn the chair. The further back the
axle, the more stable the chair becomes.
The center of gravity is adjusted by moving the rear axle (A) forward or backward on the indexed axle plate
(B). Moving the axle forward will increase your turning speed and lighten the front end.
2. Wheel Camber
The wheel camber adjustment provides greater side-to-side stability due to the increased width and angle of
the wheelbase. The wheel camber adjustment also allows for quicker turning and greater access to the top of
the handrims.
Wheel camber is preset at the factory at 3° for the Quickie 2 and 5° for the Quickie 2 P. More or less cam-
ber can be obtained by increasing or decreasing the number of camber washers (C) located between the axle
plates and the frame.
NOTE– Adjusting your chair’s center of gravity will require re-adjusting the location of the wheel locks
(if provided). See Section T for instructions on adjusting the wheel locks.
