IV. NOTICE– READ BEFORE USE
A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS
Sunrise provides a choice of many wheelchair styles to meet the needs of the wheelchair
rider. However, final selection of the type of wheelchair, options and adjustments rest solely
with you and your health care advisor. Choosing the best chair and set-up for your safety
depends on such things as:
1. Your disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (where you live and work, and
other places you are likely to use your chair).
3. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as anti-tip tubes, positioning
belts, or special seating systems).
B. 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 instructions. Review the warnings often, until they are
second nature to you.
C. 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. 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.
. VI. WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
Here you will learn how to avoid a fall or tip-over while you perform daily activities
in your chair.
3. VII. WARNINGS: FOR SAFE USE– ATTENDANTS
Here you will learn about practices for the safe use of your chair
4. VIII. WARNINGS: COMPONENTS & OPTIONS
Here you will learn about the components of your chair and options you can select
for safety. Consult your authorized supplier and your health care advisor to help you
choose the best set-up and options for safe use.
NOTE– Where they apply, you will also find “Warnings” in other sections of this manual.
Heed all warnings in this section. If you fail to do so a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and
cause severe injury to the rider or others.
