A. SOLID SEAT BACK
Do not use the Solid Seat Back to push or lift the wheelchair. Improper use may
cause the back to unexpectedly detach from the wheelchair.
B. DRIVING
You should drive your chair with the tilt at the minimum angle.
C. TILTING
To prevent damage and personal injury, avoid tilting near objects such as walls,
tables or chairs.
To avoid injury, ensure other people, especially children, are clear of the system.
If using a swing-away abductor, be sure not to tilt with the abductor swung away.
Otherwise, the abductor may collide with the tilt actuator when returning to the
untilted position.
D. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS
Never use non-Quickie parts or make changes to your chair unless authorized by
Sunrise. (Doing so will void the warranty and may create a safety hazard.)
1. If you modify or adjust this chair it may increase the risk of fall or tip-over.
2. Modifications unauthorized by Sunrise constitutes remanufacturing of the
wheelchair. This voids the warranty. The rider then assumes all future
liability for the wheelchair.
E. LOCKING PINS
Never use or operate this device without the use of all locking pin devices. (p. 11)

V. SET-UP, ADJUSTMENT & USE
B. SOLID SEAT BACK & LATERAL THORACIC SUPPORTS
1. To adjust the height of the lateral support mount, loosen the adjustment
screw until the receiver slides freely on the back posts.Tighten the adjust-
ment screw when the proper height is determined.
2. Assess and fit the lateral thoracic supports. Assess client for proper posi-
tioning of the lateral thoracic supports. Each support is independent and
may be adjusted for your client’s clinical need.
A minimum of 1" (2.5 cm) of clearance should exist between the top of
the lateral support and the user’s arm pit.
a) To adjust the height, angle or width of the lateral thoracic support pads,
loosen the top bolts and slide to correct width.Tighten bolt to bolt
plate. If more adjustment is necessary, loosen the internally mounted
bolts, and slide in the track to the desired height and width.The angle is
obtained by tilting the bracket as needed.Tighten the bolts.
b) To adjust the depth of the lateral thoracic pads, turn the middle bracket so
that the slots are on side.Adjust to desired depth. Re-tighten the bolts.
C. HEADREST
1. Mounting a headrest.
The Solid Seat Back has a headrest
plate mounted to it. Care should be
taken to use the proper screw length
when mounting.
2. To position the headrest use the dou-
ble clamp and the collar clamp (B,C,D)
to obtain the proper height and dis-
tance. For clamp B use a 3/32 Allen set
screw (A) and a 3/16 Allen cap screw.
Clamp B positions the headrest for-
ward and aft. However, due to the ver-
tical movement of this adjustment, col-
lar clamp D will have to be moved in
conjunction.
4. Retighten both the 3/16 Allen and the set
screws (A) with a 3/32 Allen wrench.

fine tune the maximum tilt angle. Foward postions increase tilt angles.
Aft position remove tilt angles.
c) Tighten the switch fasteners at desired maximum tilt angle
2. Drive Lock out Angle.
The Drive Lock-out angle is fixed and is set at 15°±3°

K. CHECK-OUT
Once the tilt assembly is adjusted, it should actuate smoothly and easily.
All accessories should also perform smoothly.
1. Verify seat can achieve full tilt and will return to neutral.
2. Verify the motor cuts out once the neutral position is reached.
3. Verify no debris is interfering with the glide bearings.
4. Verify all hardware is securely tightened.
5. Verify that the drive lock-out switch is positioned to prevent drawing if the
system is tilted to an angle of greater than 15°.
6. Verify that the safety lock pin and rear securement knobs are in place.
If the actuator stop switches are not properly adjusted, the actuator will
current limit or “stall” at the end of the stroke. Repeated “stall” conditions
will shorten the life of the actuator.

VII. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
A. MAINTENANCE
You should check the items on this chart at the indicated intervals. If any of the
items are loose, worn, bent or distorted, immediately have them checked and/or
repaired by your authorized Sunrise supplier. Frequent maintenance and servicing
will improve performance and extend wheelchair life.
NOTE: Check weekly, and use a clean, dry cloth or compressed air as needed
to keep glide bearings free of debris.
B. TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
If you should notice your C.G.Tilt system binding up, not running in a smooth
fashion, or emitting an unusual noise during use, a foreign matter may have come
into contact with the glide bearings. If this occurs, use a clean, dry cloth or com-
pressed air to clear or, if needed, please see your authorized Sunrise supplier.
If your tilt system will not function, check to ensure the tilt lock-out sensor is
seated properly in its mount.The wires should lead out of the sensor toward the
front of the chair.
Charge Batteries
Check tires for proper inflation level
Glide bearings free of debris
Check batteries for proper electrolyte level (wet cell only)
Check plugs and connectors for proper connections
Check all moving parts for wear
Inspect all nuts, bolts and fasteners for looseness or wear
Inspect upholstery for wear
Remove and inspect motor brushes
