comfort (such as anti-tip tubes, positioning belts, or special seating
systems).

V. GENERAL WARNINGS
A.WEIGHT LIMIT
WARNING
NEVER exceed the weight limit specified by Sunrise Medical. The weight
capacity provided by your manufacturer is for the combined weight of a rider
and items carried using on-board storage. If you do exceed the weight limit,
damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause
severe injury to the rider or others.
Weight Capacity
Quickie Access - 300 lbs (136kg)
B. INTENDED USE
The Quickie Access wheelchair’s intended use is to provide mobility to
persons limited to a sitting position.
WARNING
DO NOT use this device for purposes other than what is intended by the
manufacturer.
1. The wheelchiar is not designed for weight training and is unsafe for use
as a seat while weight training. Weight training from the wheelchair
substantially changes the stability of the chair and may cause tipping.
2. DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
3. NEVER allow someone to stand on your chair or use it as a step ladder.
4. This chair is designed for a single rider only.
5. Unauthorized modifications and use of parts or accessories not supplied
or approved by Sunrise Medical may change the chair structure. This
will void the warranty and may cause a safety hazard. If the warning is
ignored, damage to your chair, and the potential for severe injury of the
person using the chair for unintended purposes can occur.
C ATTENDANTS AND CAREGIVERS
WARNING
Before you assist a rider, be sure to read all warnings contained in this manual,
and follow all instructions that apply. Be aware that after consulting a
healthcare professional, you will need to learn safe and proven body mechanics
to use and create assistive methods best suited to your abilities.
D. ACCESSORIES
WARNING
Unauthorized modifications or use of parts, or accessories not supplied or
approved by Sunrise Medical may change the chair structure. This will void the
warranty and may cause a safety hazard.
Some problems that may occur, but are not limited to:
1. Incorrect wheels and/or tires that put the rider at risk of a fall or tip-over.
2. Adding a component to the frame, changing the structural integrity of the
chair.
3. Any modification or disassembly can potentially create an unsafe situation
where rider and/or attendant are put at risk.
E. KNOW YOUR CHAIR
WARNING
Every wheelchair is different. Take the time to learn the feel of this chair before
you begin riding. Start slowly, with easy, smooth strokes. If you are used to a
different chair, you may use too much force and tip over. If you use too much
force, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and
cause severe injury to the rider or others.
F. REDUCE THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT
WARNING
1. BEFORE you begin riding, you should be trained in the safe use of this
chair by your health care provider.
2. Practice bending, reaching and transfers until you know the limit of your
ability. Have someone help you until you know what can cause a fall or
tip-over and how to avoid doing so.
3. Be aware that you must develop your own methods for safe use best
suited to your level of function and ability.
4. NEVER try a new maneuver on your own. Ask the advice of your health
care provider to lower the risk of a fall or tip over.
5. Get to know the areas where you plan to use your chair. Look for
hazards and learn how to avoid them.
6. Sunrise Medical recommends using anti-tip tubes in every circumstance.
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.

V. GENERAL WARNINGS
G. SAFETY CHECKLIST
WARNING
Before Each Use Of Your Chair:
1. Ensure the chair rolls easily and that all parts work smoothly. Check for
noise, vibration, or a change in ease of use. (This may indicate low tire
pressure, loose fasteners, or damage to your chair).
2. Immediately repair any problem. Your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer
can help you find and correct the problem(s).
3. Check to see that both quick-release rear axles are locked. When locked,
the axle button will “pop out” fully. If not locked, the wheel may come off
and cause you to fall.
4. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place.
H. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
1. If you modify or adjust this chair, it may increase the risk of a tip-over
UNLESS you make other adjustments as well.
2. Consult your authorized dealer BEFORE you modify or adjust your chair.
3. We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change,
and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
4. Unauthorized modifications by the end-user, dealer or any other
individual, including the use of parts not supplied or approved by Sunrise
Medical may change the chair structure. This will void the warranty and
may cause a safety hazard.
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.
I. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
WARNING
1. Use extra care if you must ride your chair on a wet or slick surface. If you
are in doubt, ask for help.
2. Contact with water or excess moisture may cause your chair to rust or
corrode. Avoid all extreme weather situations if possible.
a. Do not use your chair in a shower, pool or other body of water.
The chair tubing and parts are not water-tight and may rust or
corrode from the inside.
b. Avoid excess moisture (for example, do not leave your chair in a
damp bathroom while taking a shower).
c. Dry your chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use water
to clean it.
d. Avoid contact with salt or salty conditions as this may cause damage
to the 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.
J. TERRAIN
WARNING
1. Based on ANSI/RESNA testing, Sunrise Medical recommends the use of a
caster wheel with a minimum diameter of 5-in (127mm), if the wheelchair
will be overcoming obstacles up to 1/2-in (12.7mm) on a regular basis.
2. Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as concrete,
asphalt, indoor ooring, and carpets.
3. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil, or over rocky terrain.
4. If you use your chair on terrain that is rougher than described above
there is a danger that screws and bolts will loosen prematurely, and that
damage to wheels or axles could put the rider at risk of a fall, tip-over, or
loss of control.
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.
K. STREET USE

V. GENERAL WARNINGS
1 2
Look for this symbol on your wheelchair. It indicates wheelchair
securement points.
1 2
L. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
If possible and feasible, the rider should transfer to the Original Equipment
Manufacturer vehicle seat and use the OEM vehicle restraint.
Sunrise Medical does provide a Wheelchair Tie-Down and Occupant Restraint
System, otherwise called a Transit Option. To Identify whether your
wheelchair has been manufactured with the Transit Option installed, look
for four points of securement: two front points (A) and two rear points (B).
These points are recognized by the securement point decal which can be found
on or near the securement points. If your wheelchair is equipped with the
Transit Option please review the Transit Securement supplement that was
provided with the wheelchair for additional information and instructions. You
can request a copy from your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer, or Sunrise
Medical at 1-800-333-4000 if you don’t have it.
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 wheelchair that has been involved in a motor vehicle
accident. A sudden stop and/or collision may structurally damage your
wheelchair. There may have been a change to the structure of the chair,
and/or damaged or broken some of the components. Wheelchairs
involved in sudden stops should be inspected for possible failures in
frame and/or components. Frame damage may be represented by but
not limited to: visual cracks, dents, metal distortion, bends, or damage
to the seating mounting. If the chair no longer drives straight, it could be
damaged. If the wheelchair has been involved in an accident, discontinue
use immediately and contact your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer for
a thorough inspection. If damage is questionable or if there is concern
regarding the condition of the chair, Sunrise Medical recommends
replacement of the chair.
NOTE- The warranty is void on any wheelchair that is involved in a collision.
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.
M. WHEN YOU NEED HELP
WARNING
For The Rider: Make sure that each person who helps you reads and follows all
warnings and instructions that apply.
For Attendants:
1. Work with the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist to learn safe methods
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. Ensure 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 ensure
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 tipping, or getting hung up on objects, 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
must leave the rider alone, even for a moment. This will reduce the risk
of a tip over or loss of control of the chair.
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.
N. CHOKING HAZARD
WARNING
NOTE- Your chair consists of many small parts that could present a choking
or swallowing hazard to young children. Take care to keep loose parts out of
reach when doing any work on the chair. Seek immediate help if a loose part is
swallowed by a child.
O. PINCH POINT
WARNING
NOTE- Your wheelchair has many moving parts that can create pinch points
and possible finger traps. Be aware when making any adjustments, when
folding and unfolding, when moving, and any other situation that could cause a
pinch point situation.

VI. SAFETY 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. How 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:
a. The position of the rear wheels. The more you move the rear
wheels forward, the more likely your chair will tip over backward.
b. The position of the carriage.
1. The Center Of Balance Is Also Affected By:
a. A change in the set-up of your chair, including:
• 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 can
change the balance of your chair.
2. 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 Sunrise Medical authorized dealer BEFORE you
modify or adjust this device. Be aware that you may need to make
other changes to correct the center of balance.
c. Have 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 CHANGING CLOTHES
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 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.
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 HELP. 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. Ensure 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. Ensure there is not a drop off at the
bottom of the ramp.
5. To Help 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 obstacle.
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, 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.
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.
E. REACHING 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 yourself 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, then back up alongside it. Backing up will rotate the casters
forward.
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, ensure you lock them in place.
3. Stop often and check to ensure your path is clear.
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.

VI. SAFETY 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 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.
H. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDEHILLS
WARNING
Whenever possible, avoid riding on a slope, which includes a ramp or sidehill.
This will change the center 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 6°. (A 6° 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.
Ensure 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.
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 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 HELP any time you are in doubt.
9. Ramps At Home & Work– For your safety, ramps at home and work
must meet all legal requirements for your area:
a. AVOID A DROP-OFF
Ensure 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.
For Attendants:
Follow these steps to help the rider go up or down a ramp:
1. Stay behind the chair.

VI. SAFETY WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
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 provider to learn safe transfer methods.
a. Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself during a transfer.
b. Have someone help you until you know how to do a safe transfer on your own.
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. Ensure that the pneumatic tires are properly inated. Low tire pressure may allow the rear wheel
locks to slip. (see table in Section VII: H “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. Ensure 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. Ensure 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.
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.
J. CURBS & SINGLE STEPS
WARNING
Before riding over curbs, and negotiating even a single step, ALWAYS ask for assistance rst. 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. With the help of an attendant, 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.

IX. DEALER SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
The owner of this chair is responsible for ensuring that it has been setup and adjusted
by a trained service professional under the advice of a healthcare provider. Service and/
or adjustments should only be done with the advice of a healthcare provider. Always use
parts and/or accessories that have been recommended and approved by Sunrise Medical
when servicing this chair. Service and/or adjustments that require the use of tools, should
only be done by a Sunrise Medical authorized dealer under the advice of a healthcare
provider.
A. DEALER SERVICE INTRODUCTION
1. At least once per year, this chair should have a complete inspection, safety check, and regular service
made by a Sunrise Medical 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
parts before returning this chair to service.
3. All major maintenance and repair work should be done by a Sunrise Medical 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: M5 fasteners = 5 Nm [44 in-lbs], M6 fasteners = 7 Nm [62 in-lbs], M8 fasteners = 10 Nm
[88 in-lbs]. For all others torque setting should be 6.8 Nm [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 Finish
a. 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 Parts
a. 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 working on this wheelchair.
D. REAR AXLE
1. Rear Wheel Axle Adjustment
Tight axle sleeves should be maintained for proper performance of the wheelchair.
a. To adjust the axle (A) you will need a 3/4-in wrench (B) to turn the outside axle nuts (C).
b. You will also need a 1/2-in wrench to hold the the opposite end of the axle (D), and prevent
the axle from turning, while you are adjusting the nut.
c. Turn the outside axle nut clockwise to tighten.
d. There should only be zero to ten thousandths of an inch (.010-in), or .25mm, of play.
2. Moving the Rear Axle for Weight Distribution
Weight distribution between the front and rear wheels is primarily adjusted by moving the rear axles
forward or rearward on the frame. Moving the axles REARWARD provides better forward and
rearward tipping stability. Moving the axles FORWARD shifts more of the rider’s weight onto the
REAR wheels, providing the following benefits: the front end of the wheelchair becomes lighter, thus
reducing the turning effort, and with a shorter wheelbase the turning radius is reduced.
CAUTION - Moving the Rear axles can affect the stability of the chair, ALWAYS check stability with the
rider before putting the chair into service.
IMPORTANT NOTE– The axle adjustment on each side of the chair should be equal.
NOTE– Use a torque setting of 13.6 Nm [120 in-lbs] when setting-up the axle plate.
NOTE– The frame must be kept horizontal when height adjustments are made. Refer to matrix in the
ordering guide for proper setting.
