IV. NOTICE– READ BEFORE USE
A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY
OPTIONS
Sunrise provides a choice of many power wheelchair styles, sizes and
adjustments to meet the needs of the user. However, final selection
of a wheelchair rests solely with you and your health care profes-
sional. Choosing the best chair for you depends on such things as:
1. Your size, disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. Your intended use, and your level of activity.
3. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (in
areas where you are likely to use your chair).
4. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as
positioning belts or special seat systems).
INTEN E USE: The Quickie PULSE is a battery operated device
with wheels that is intended for medical purposes to provide
mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position.
B. A JUST CHAIR TO YOUR ABILITY
You need to work with your doctor, nurse or therapist, and your
supplier, to fit this chair and adjust the controller settings for your
level of function and ability.
C. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN
Before using this chair you, and each person who may assist you,
should read this entire Manual and make sure to follow all instruc-
tions. Review the warnings often, until they are second nature to you.
. WARNINGS
The word “WARNING” refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that
may cause severe injury or death to you or to other persons. The
“Warnings” are in four main sections, as follows:
1. V — EMI
Here you will learn about electromagnetic interference and
how it can affect your chair.
2. VI — GENERAL WARNINGS
Here you will find a safety checklist and a summary of risks
you need to be aware of before you ride this chair.
3. VII — WARNINGS — COMPONENTS & OPTIONS
Here you will learn about your chair. Consult your supplier
and your health care professional to help you choose the
best set-up and options for your safety.
4. X — BATTERIES
Here you will learn about battery and charger safety, and
how to avoid injury.
Throughout this owner’s manual and on the wheelchair you will
see the icons listed below to identify warnings and potential haz-
ards.
WARNING! These warnings must be followed, failure to
do so may cause personal injury or may dam-
age the wheelchair.
ES : Electrostatic ischarge can damage printed
circuit boards.
V. EMI (ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE)
WARNING
Heed all warnings to reduce the risk of unintended brake release
or chair movement:
1. Beware of the danger from hand-held transceivers. Never
turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while power to your
chair is on. Use extra care if you believe that such a device
may be in use near your chair.
2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid coming
close to them.
3. If unintended movement occurs, turn your chair off as soon
as it is safe to do so.
A. WHAT IS EMI?
WARNING
1. EMI means: electromagnetic (EM) interference (I). EMI comes
from radio wave sources such as radio transmitters and
transceivers. (A “transceiver” is a device that both sends and
receives radio wave signals).
2. There are a number of sources of intense EMI in your daily
environment. Some of these are obvious and easy to avoid.
Others are not, and you may not be able to avoid them.
3. Powered wheelchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) emitted from sources such as radio sta-
tions, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two
way radios, and cellular phones.
4. EMI can also be produced by conducted sources or electro-
static discharge (ES ).
B. WHAT EFFECT CAN EMI HAVE?
WARNING
1. EMI can cause your chair, without warning, to:
• Release its brakes
• Move by itself
• Move in unintended directions
If any of these occur, it could result in severe injury to you
or others.
2. EMI can damage the control system of your chair. This could
create a safety hazard, and lead to costly repairs.
C. SOURCES OF EMI
WARNING
The sources of EMI fall into three broad types:
1. Hand-Held Transceivers:
The antenna is usually mounted directly on the unit. These include:
• Citizens band (CB) radios
• “Walkie-talkies”
• Security, fire and police radios
• Mobile phones
• Lap-top computers with phone or fax
• Other personal communication devices
NOTE – These devices can transmit signals while they are on, even if not in
use.

2. Medium-Range Mobile Transceivers:
These include two-way radios used in police cars, fire trucks,
ambulances and taxi cabs. The antenna is usually mounted on the
outside of the vehicle.
3. Long-Range Transceivers:
These include commercial radio and TV broadcast antenna towers
and amateur (HAM) radios.
NOTE– The following are not likely to cause EMI problems: Lap-
top computers (without phone or fax), Cordless phones, TV sets
or AM/FM radios, C or tape players.
. ISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE
WARNING
Electro-magnetic energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get
closer to the source. For this reason, EMI from hand-held devices
is of special concern. (See Section C.1) A person using one of
these devices can bring high levels of EM energy very close to your
chair without you knowing it.
E. IMMUNITY LEVEL
WARNING
1. The level of EM is measured in volts per meter (V/m). Every
power wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain level. This is
called its “immunity level”.
2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is
believed that a 20 V/m immunity level will protect the power
wheelchair user from the more common sources of radio
waves.
3. The common configuration tested and found to be immune
to at least 20 V/m is: Quickie Pulse power wheelchair with a
right-hand mounted RNET remote joystick system, 18" seat
width, 18" seat depth, dual post height adjustable armrests,
fixed tapered legrests with a two piece footplate, and Gp 22
gel cell batteries.
4. All After Market input device options, classified as breath con-
trols, Proportional controls, and/or Switched controls that can
be used with this powerchair, have an unknown effect on their
immunity level to different types of EMI. They have not been
specifically tested with the Pulse 5/6 and RNET control system.
WARNING
If there is any doubt that the specialty control input device is not
immune to 20V/m, extra care should be taken around known
sources of EMI.
WARNING
There is no way to know the effect on EMI if you add accessories
or modify this chair. Any change to your chair may increase the risk
of EMI. Parts not specifically tested or parts from other suppliers
have unknown EMI properties.
F. REPORT ALL SUSPECTE EMI
INCI ENTS
WARNING
You should promptly report any unintended movement or brake
release. Be sure to indicate whether there was a radio wave source
near your chair at the time. Contact:
Sunrise Medical, Customer Service epartment at [phone].
G. EMI FROM CHAIR
WARNING
The chair itself can disturb the performance of electromagnetic
fields such as emitted by alarm systems of shops.
H. HEA ARRAY SAFETY AN RFI
WARNING
If you have a Head-array, the sensors used in the product have the
potential to operate unintentionally if moisture or any substance
that is electrically conductive is present in sufficient quantities.
Electro magnetic interference from electrical power lines and cer-
tain types of phones can cause the sensors to activate.
These sensors are capacitive in nature, and can generate an elec-
tronic field, which can be affected by liquids and/or a source of
radio frequency Interferance (RFI). Any material that is conductive
has the potential to activate the Head-array unintentionally.
Avoid use under high power lines and around cell phones.
Avoid the use of a Head Array in rain or snow and protect against
the potential of spilled liquids on the sensors.
Avoid cell phones and electronic devices in proximity to the array.
Avoid any source that has the potential of (RFI).
Warn the user of this chair that the chair controls have the poten-
tial of acting erractically or making sudden stops, if (RFI) is not
avoided.
If any (RFI) causes erratic behavior, immediately cut off the power
to the wheelchair, and wait until the interference passes.

3. Exceeding the weight limit is likely to damage the seat, frame,
or fasteners, and may cause severe injury to you or others
from chair failure.
4. Exceeding the weight limit will void the warranty.
C. CONTROLLER SETTINGS
WARNING
Be aware that you may need to adjust the controller settings of
your chair.
1. Check and adjust the settings every six to twelve months.
2. Consult your supplier to adjust the control settings immedi-
ately if you notice any change in your ability to:

Identify whether or not your chair has been manufactured with the
Transit Option installed.
If your chair is not equipped with the Transit Option: The wheel-
chair does not meet federal standards for seating while travelling
in a motor vehicle.
1. NEVER let anyone sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle.
2. ALWAYS secure the rider with OEM (original equipment
manufacture) motor vehicle restraints. 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. O NOT use any chair that has been involved in a motor
vehicle accident. It may have changed the structure of the
chair, and damaged, or broken components. This could lead
to a risk of injury or damage to your chair. If the wheelchair
has been involved in an accident, discontinue use and contact
your supplier for a thorough inspection.
If your chair is equipped with the Transit Option: See section VII-
T: “Transit Option and use”.
L. 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.
The Center Of Balance Is Affected By:
1. The seat height and seat angle.
2. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribu-
tion.
3. Using this chair on a ramp or slope.
4. The use of a back pack or other options, and the amount of
added weight.
5. Center or rear rive wheel positioning.
To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over:
1. Whenever a condition exists that may change the center of
balance, reduce speed, proceed cautiously.
2. When in doubt, always have someone help you.

O. RESSING OR CHANGING CLOTHES
WARNING
Be aware that your weight will shift if you dress or change clothes
while seated in this chair. To make the chair more stable, rotate the
front casters until they are in the forward position.
P. 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 HELP. Be aware of your riding skills
and personal limitations. evelop new skills only with the help of
a companion.
1. Be aware that thresholds are very dangerous. (Even a small
change in height may stop a caster wheel and cause your
chair to tip). You may need to:
• Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.
• Install a ramp at entry or exit doors.
2. Keep your eyes moving when you ride; scan the area well
ahead of your chair.
3. Make sure the floor areas where you use this chair are level
and free of obstacles.
Q. RIVING IN REVERSE
WARNING
Use extra care when you drive your chair in reverse. You may lose
control or fall if one of the rear wheels hits an object.
1. Operate your chair slowly and at an even speed.
2. Stop often and check to make sure your path is clear of
obstacles.
R. RAMPS, SLOPES & SI EHILLS
WARNING
Your center of balance changes when you are on a slope.
NOTE – “Slope” includes a ramp or sidehill. Your chair is less sta-
ble when it is at an angle. Never use this chair on a slope
unless your are sure it is safe. When in doubt, have
someone help you.
Beware Of:
1. Steep slopes. o Not use this chair on a slope steeper than
6%. (A 6% slope means: One foot in elevation for every ten
feet of slope length).
2. Wet or slippery surfaces (such as when ice, snow, water or
oil film is present). A loss of traction may cause a fall or tip-
over.
3. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression).
These may cause a fall or tip-over.
4. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. (A drop-off of as small
as 3/4 inch (19 mm) can stop a front caster and cause the
chair to tip forward).
M. 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 prevent a fall:
1. Always turn off power before you transfer to or from your
chair. If you fail to do so you may touch the joystick and
cause your chair to move when you do not expect it.
2. Make sure motor brakes are engaged. This keeps the chair
from moving when you transfer.
3. Work with your health care professional to learn all safe
methods for transfers.
• Learn how to position your body and how to support
yourself during a transfer.
• Have someone help you until you are sure you can do a
safe transfer on your own.
4. Move your chair as close as you can to the seat you are
transferring to. If possible, use a transfer board.
5. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
6. Be careful of the footrests. If you can, remove or swing them
out of the way.
• As a standard rule, never stand on footrests when you
transfer. oing so may damage them or cause your chair to
tip. If the footplate is in contact with the ground, it is possi-
ble to use the footplate for a transfer.
• Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in the
space between the footrests.
7. Make sure armrests do not interfere.
8. Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can. This
will reduce the risk that you will miss the seat or fall.
N. REACHING OR LEANING
WARNING
Reaching or leaning affects the center of balance of your chair. If
done improperly, a fall or tip-over is likely. When in doubt, ask for
help or use a device to extend your reach.
To Reduce the Risk of injury and/or amage to the Chair:
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
yourself to prevent a fall if you lose your balance).
4. Never try to pick up an object from the floor by reaching down
between your knees.
5. Never put pressure on the footrests while reaching.
6. Never reach or lean over the top of the seat back. This may
damage the backrest and cause you to fall.
IF YOU MUST REACH OR LEAN, O SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Remember to:
1. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you wish
to reach.
2. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as pos-
sible. This makes the chair more stable.
NOTE–To do this: Move your chair past the object you want to reach, then
back up alongside it. Backing up will rotate the casters forward.
3. Turn off all power to your chair. If you fail to do so, you may
touch the joystick and cause your chair to move when you
do not expect it.
VI. GENERAL WARNINGS
QUICKIE PU LS E
9119832 Rev. E

S. RE UCE THE RISK OF A FALL, TIP-OVER OR
LOSS OF CONTROL
WARNING
1. Never use your chair on a slope unless you are sure you can
do so without losing traction.
2. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can.
•o not “cut the corner” on a slope or ramp.
•o not turn or change direction on a slope.
3. Always stay in the center of the ramp. The ramp needs to be
wide enough so that the wheel won’t roll off of the side of
the ramp.
4. Keep your chair moving at a slow, steady speed. Keep con-
trol over the chair at all times.
• On a descent, do not let your chair accelerate beyond its
normal speed.
• If the chair picks up speed, center the joystick to slow
down or stop.
• If you stop, re-start slowly
T. RAMPS AT HOME & WORK
WARNING
Before driving on a ramp, survey the condition of the ramp. On
slippery ramps traction may be reduced causing your wheelchair to
slide.
WARNING
NOTE–Make sure ramps meet all Building Codes for your area.
1. For your safety, have a licensed contractor build or remodel
the ramp to meet all local codes and standards.
2. The proper design will vary, depending on such things as: the
length and height of the ramp; the need for an intermediate
platform; landing size; doors, and the direction of swing, and;
whether the ramp includes a turn or angle.
At A Minimum:
1. Open sides of ramp must have side rails to prevent your
chair from going over the edge.
2. Slope must not be steeper than one inch in height for every
one foot of slope length (approximately 10º).
3. Ramp surface must be even, and have a non-skid surface.
4. You may need to add a section at the top or bottom to
avoid a lip or drop-off.
5. Ramp must be sturdy. Add bracing if needed, so ramp does
not “bow” when you ride on it.
U. WHEELCHAIR LIFTS
WARNING
Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses, and buildings to help you
move from one level to another.
1. Always turn off all power to your chair when you are on a
lift. If you fail to do so, you may touch the joystick by acci-
dent and cause your chair to drive off the platform. (Be
aware that a “roll-stop” at the end of the platform may not
prevent this).
2. Make sure there is not a lip or drop-off at the top or bot-
tom of the platform. These may cause a fall or tip-over. When
in doubt, have someone help you.
3. Always position the user securely in the chair to help prevent
falls while on a lift.
4. Avoid moving forward if a wheel is “hung up” on the lip of
the ramp. Backup, reposition the caster for a more direct
approach. And slowly try again.
V. CURBS & SINGLE STEPS
WARNING
1. Sunrise recommends that you avoid climbing and/or descending
a curb, single step, or other obstacle, and that a ramp or curb
cutout is always used.
2. If you must climb or descend a curb, single step, or other
obstacle that is greater than 2.5", it is recommended to have
a person assist you in doing so.
3. O NOT try to climb a curb, single step, or other obstacle
greater than 4" high.
4. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at your
own risk using extreme care and use the following procedure:
• Proceed slowly, at a steady speed
• Go as straight up or down as you can over the obstacle.
Never turn when trying to climb or descend an obstacle,
doing so may result in a fall or tip-over.
5. Failure to follow the above recommendations may cause:
• A Fall or Tip Over
• amage to the frame, wheels, axles or other parts, or
loose fasteners.
W. STAIRS
WARNING
Never use this chair to go up or down stairs, even with an atten-
dant. oing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.
X. ESCALATORS
WARNING
Never take this chair on an escalator, even with an attendant.
oing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.

G. ON/OFF SWITCH
WARNING
1. Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop the chair except in
an emergency. This will result in an abrupt stop, and may
cause you to fall.
2. To slow your chair to a stop, return the joystick to neutral.
H. PNEUMATIC TIRES
WARNING
Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes your chair
easier to use.
1. o not use this chair if any of the tires are under- or over-
inflated. Check weekly for proper inflation level, as listed on
the tire sidewall.
2. Low pressure in a tire may cause the chair to veer to one
side and result in a loss of control.
3. An over-inflated tire may burst.
4. Never use a gas station air pump to inflate a tire. Such
pumps provide air at high volume, and could cause the tire
to burst. To prevent tire damage:
• Use a hand pump (or low volume air pump) to inflate tires.
• Use a tire gauge to check pressure.
5. riving over sharp objects may cause damage to pneumatic
tires and tubes.
I. POSITIONING BELTS (Optional)
WARNING
The positioning belt is predominately used to support your pos-
ture. It can also be used to limit slipping and/or sliding that you
might experience when the chair is in motion. The positioning belt
is not a transit rated safety belt and should not be used in the
place of a seat belt while being transported in a motor vehicle.
Improper use of Positioning belts may cause severe injury or death.
If you use a positioning belt, be sure to follow the recommenda-
tions in this section:
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 sliding down in the seat. Consult with the rider’s doctor,
nurse or therapist 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 emer-
gency.

Whenever possible, wheelchair occupants should transfer into the
vehicle seat and use the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
vehicle-installed restraint system.
This wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward-facing
mode with a specified crash test dummy restrained by both pelvic
and upper-torso belt(s) (shoulder belts). It has been determined
that both the pelvic and upper-torso belt(s) should be used to
reduce the possibility of head and chest impacts with vehicle com-
ponents. When travelling in a motor vehicle, use only Wheelchair
Tie-down and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS) which meet
the requirements of the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)
J2249 Recommended Practice.
WARNING
This wheelchair has been tested for seating in a motor vehicle with
the factory-installed seating system only. This wheelchair must be
in a forward facing position during travel in a motor vehicle.
This wheelchair is equipped with wheelchair-anchored pelvic belts.
It has been dynamically tested to rely on wheelchair-anchored
pelvic belts. If desired, vehicle-anchored pelvic belts may also be
used. It is strongly recommended that the combination of both
pelvic and upper-torso belt(s) be used to reduce the risk of injury
if a sudden stop and/or collision were to occur.
WARNING
To reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants, wheelchair-
mounted accessories, including but not limited to IV poles, trays,
respiratory equipment, backpacks, and other personal items should
be removed from the wheelchair and secured separately. Postural
supports, positioning devices, and/or strap(s) should not be relied
on for occupant restraint. These items may be used in addition to
the wheelchair anchored, or vehicle-anchored belts.
WARNING
Wheelchairs with adjustable seat angles must be set to 10°. o
not alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts, components, or
seating systems.
A sudden stop and/or collision may structurally damage your
wheelchair. Wheelchairs involved in such incidents should be
replaced.

POSITIONING BELTS
WARNING
The angle of the pelvic belt should be within the preferred zone of 45 to 75 degrees
to the horizontal or within the optional zone of 30 to 45 degrees to the horizontal.
Steeper side-view pelvic belt angles are especially important if the pelvic belt is
intended to be used for postural support in addition to occupant restraint in a frontal
crash. Steeper angles will reduce the tendency for a vertical gap to develop between
the user and the belt due to compliance of seat cushions and belt movement, thereby
reducing the tendency for the user to slip under the belt and for the belt to ride up
on the soft abdomen during normal use. Steeper belt angles also reduce the
tendency for upper-torso belts to pull the pelvic belt onto the abdomen during
frontal impact loading.
1. Proper Installation
