If you fail to heed this warning you and others that may be assisting you, are at a high risk of severeinjury. H.RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDEHILLSWARNINGWhenever possible, avoid riding on a slope, which includes a ramp or sidehill. This will change the cen-ter of balance of your chair.

This is likely to cause your chairto 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 afront 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 UPHILL. This will help adjust for the change in the center of bal-ance caused by the slope or sidehill.b.Keep pressure on the handrims to control your speed on a down slope. If you go too fastyou may lose control.c.ASK FOR HELP any time you are in doubt.9.Ramps At Home & Work– For your safety, ramps at home and work must meet all legalrequirements for your area:a.AVOID A DROP-OFFMake sure there is a section at the top or bottom to smooth out the transition.b.ALWAYSstay 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 andcan possibly cause severe injury to the rider or others.43219ENGLISHVI.

20ENGLISHIX. DEALER SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT
WARNINGThe owner of this chair is responsible for making sure that it has been setup and adjusted by a trained serviceprofessional under the advice of a healthcare professional. Service and/or adjustments that require the use oftools, should only be done by an authorized supplier under the advice of a healthcare professional. Always useparts and/or accessories that have been recommended and approved by Sunrise Medical when servicing thischair.A. DEALER SERVICE INTRODUCTION
1.At least once per year, this chair should have a complete inspection, safety check, and regular servicemade by an authorized dealer. The tool list at right is a good starting point for proper maintenance.2.If you have discovered a worn, bent, or damaged part, repair or replace them with recommended partsbefore returning this chair to service.3All major maintenance and repair work should be done by the authorized dealer. B. CRITICAL MAINTENANCE TIPS
1.Torque settings:A torque setting is the optimum tightening which should be made on a particular fastener. It is important to use proper torque settings where specified. When not specified, torque settings should be 60 in-lbs
2.Dealer Service and Adjustment Reference materials:Go to www.sunrisemedical.com for parts manuals, instruction sheets, and instructional videos that will aid in the repair of your Quickie wheelchair.C. CLEANING
1.Paint Finisha.Clean the painted surfaces with mild soap or detergent.b.Protect the paint with a coat of non-abrasive auto wax.2.Axles and Moving Partsa.Clean around axles and moving parts with a slightly damp (not wet) cloth.b.Wipe off or blow away any fluff, dust or dirt on axles or moving parts.c.DO NOT USE 3-in-ONE oil, or WD-40®for lubrication. Only use Teflon based Lubricant when work-ing on this wheelchair.D. REAR WHEEL AXLE NUT ADJUSTMENT
The rear wheel axle (B) attaches the rear wheel to the Axle sleeve (C). When the detent balls (D) engage intothe axle sleeve the rear wheel effectively becomes locked onto the chair. Pushing the quick-release button (A)disengages the detent balls and allows removal of the axle and wheel assembly.To adjust the axle you will need a 3/4" wrench to turn the adjustment nut (E). You will also need a 1/2" wrenchto securely hold the ball detent end of the axle to prevent it from turning.If the wheel is locked on the chair but there is excessive wheel play (the wheel hub can be pushed back andforth on the axle) then adjust the nut clockwise until there is no perceptible gap between the wheel and cambertube and the axle is securely locked onto the chair. E. REAR AXLES
The most important adjustment on your Quickie wheelchair is the position of the rear axle. The center ofGravity, Wheel camber and Wheelbase are all determined by the axle adjustment.1.Center of GravityMoving the center of gravity to the front will lighten the force required to turn the chair. The furtherback the axle, the more stable the chair becomes. The center of gravity is adjusted by moving the rearaxle (C) forward or backward on the axle plate(F). Moving the axle forward will increase your turningspeed and lighten the front end.2.Wheel CamberThe wheel camber adjustment provides greater side-to-side stability due to the increased width and angleof the wheelbase. The wheel camber adjustment also allows for quicker turning and greater access to thetop of the handrims. Wheel camber is preset at the factory at 7º. More or less camber can beobtained by increasing or decreasing the number of camber washers (G) located between theaxle plates and the frame.2021222324252122TOOLS YOU WILL NEED1.Imperial Hex key set2.Metric Hex key set3.Imperial Open-end Wrench set4.Metric Open-end Wrench set5.Torque wrench6.Imperial Hex bit Socket set7.Metric Hex bit Socket set8.Phillips and Flat screwdrivers9.Tire Pressure Gauge
