Safety warning and user tips
Safety warnings
Safety is a very important with any
vehicle that is power driven, here
are some helpful tips to safeguard
your use.
General
Always ensure that your
wheelchair is switched off before
attempting to mount or dismount.
Always ensure that you are able to
operate all controls from a
comfortable position. Paying
attention to your posture is
essential to ensure your continued
comfort and well being.
Always make sure that you can be
seen clearly, especially if you
intend using your wheelchair in
poor light.
Kerbs
Never descend a kerb forwards.
Please read carefully the section on
kerb climbing in this manual before
attempting to mount and dismount
any kerbs in your wheelchair.
Do not attempt to climb or dismount
a series of steps. It is unsafe to do
so and could cause personal injury
or damage the chair. The F16 has
only been designed to climb a
single step or kerb.
Routine service
Like most things in life a little care
and attention goes a long way and
your chair is no exception. The
recommended service interval is
one year. (See service history on
later page).
Emergency freewheel
Please remember that you have
no braking facility when the
freewheel lever is moved from
the normal drive position to the
freewheel position.
The wheelchair must never be
left with the lever in the
freewheel position. For a fuller
description of this facility and
its limitations to use please see
later section.
Emergency braking
The simplest and safest way to
stop the wheelchair is to
release the joystick control
lever (see Control pod section).
This will bring the chair to halt
in a controlled manner.
Switching the control system
off whilst the chair is in motion
will also bring the chair to a
halt. This latter method is not
recommended as the stopping
action is very abrupt.
Sharp turns
Full speed turns should not be
attempted. If you need to turn
sharply you must reduce your
speed with the joystick or speed
setting. This is particularly
important when travelling across or
down a slope. Disregarding this
advice could lead to your wheelchair
tipping over.
5 SUNRISE F16 Issue 8
Safety warning and user tips
Batteries
Your wheelchair is supplied as
standard from Sunrise Medical with
maintenance-free batteries. These
only require regular charging.
Do not, under any circumstances,
tamper with the batteries. If in any
doubt contact your local service
agent.
Do not connect the battery charger
to the mains supply until after you
have connected the charger to the
wheelchair. Before charging, please
read the relevant section in this
manual. Take care with battery acid
which is very dangerous. It can
cause burns to the skin as well as
damage to floors, furniture and your
wheelchair. If it comes into contact
with the skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water. If
it comes into contact with the eye,
immediately flood the eye with
running cold water for at least 10
minutes and seek medical attention
immediately. Acid can be
neutralised with baking soda and
water. Take care to keep batteries
upright at all times, especially when
transporting your wheelchair.
Note: Before using your vehicle
for the very first time, please
charge your batteries for a
period of 24 hours.
Tyres
Your wheelchair tyres can wear
depending on use. Check them
regularly in accordance with the
service instructions in this manual,
especially the pressure of the tyres.
NEVER inflate the tyres using a
garage forecourt airline, always
use the pump provided.
Cleaning seating
This is important should the
wheelchair be used by more than
one person to ensure there is no
cross infection.
Cleaning controls
Should the control of your
wheelchair become soiled or dirty, it
can be wiped with a damp cloth
with a dilute disinfectant until clean.
This is important should the
wheelchair be used by more than
one person to ensure there is no
cross infection.
Wheelchair motors
After prolonged use, the motors will
produce heat which is radiated
through the motors outer casing.
Do not touch the motors outer
casing for at least 30 minutes after
using the wheelchair, to allow it to
cool.
