5.0 Using the wheelchair
DANGER!
• Be aware that you may need to adjust the controller sengs
of your system.
• Consult your authorised dealer to adjust the control sengs
immediately if you noce any change in your ability to:
1. Control the joysck
2. Hold your torso erect
3. Avoid running into objects.
5.1 Checking wheelchair before use
Perform the following daily check roune before driving:
CAUTION!
Checking wheels & tyres
• Are the tyres suciently inated (Chapter 8.2).
Checking baeries
• Before using your vehicle for the very rst me, please charge
your baeries for a period of 24 hours.
• Are the baeries suciently charged? The green lights on the
baery indicator must be on. & Controller
Checking lights and indicators
• Ensure that the lights and indicators are funconing correctly
and lens are clean before going outdoors at night. &
Controller
Checking remote
• With the control system switched o, check that the joysck
is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the centre when
you push and release it.
Checking free wheel lever
• Ensure that the free wheel lever has been set to ‘drive’.
(Chapter 5.8).
Checking seang
• Ensure that all the cushions are in place.
• Make sure that the backrest is correctly ed and adjusted.
• Visually inspect the wheelchair to make sure the leg rests,
armrests etc. are correctly posioned and aached to the
wheelchair and all fasteners are suciently ghtened.
• Ensure that the seat interface knobs are ght and secure.
Checking clothing on potenal entrapment
• When operang the wheelchair, ensure that your clothing
does not hamper the wheelchair (i.e. too long). Before use,
always check if your clothing or accessories do not come into
contact with the wheels or and other moving and/or rotang
parts in which they could become entangled.
Checking weather condions
• In winter, baeries have a reduced capacity. During a period
of light frost, the capacity is roughly 75% of the normal
capacity. At temperatures below -5˚C this will be roughly 50%.
This will reduce your range of acon.

5.2 Making a transfer
Sunrise Medical recommend that you consult your healthcare
professional for assistance in developing your personal front or
side transfer technique to best suit your needs and avoid any
personal injury.
Preparing for a forward transfer:
DANGER!
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 seang system seat is not below you.
For further instrucons and warnings about making a transfer,
please refer to & Seang system.
5.3 Driving the wheelchair
WARNING
• The user of the wheelchair is at all mes completely
responsible for complying with the applicable local safety
regulaons and guidelines.
Powered wheelchairs are driven by means of a controller.
There is a separate user manual for the controller and this was
included with this wheelchair (& Controller).
1. Switch on the controller.
2. Set the maximum speed limit.
3. Move the joysck in the direcon in which you would like
to go.
4. Moving the joysck even further forwards will cause the
wheelchair to drive faster.
Rear view mirror
WARNING
• To avoid injury to people around you please be aware that
the mirror protrudes outside the space envelope of the
chair and could cause injury to someone when driving past.
• The mirror must be used on models at speeds over 6 kph on
roads according to local law.
• Always make sure that when using the mirror that it is clean
and unbroken so that it does not impair your visibility.

15Q700 M/M HD/F/R Rev.F
ENGLISH
Road use
Please show the utmost consideraon for the other trac
on the road.
DANGER!
• Remember that the last thing a car or lorry driver expects to
see is a wheelchair backing o the kerb into the road.
• If in any doubt, do not risk crossing the road unl you are
certain that it is safe.
• Always cross the road as quickly as possible, there may be
other trac.
• Do not drive over anything that could cause punctures in
the tyres.
• Ensure that there are no objects in your path that could
possibly become lodged in your chair mechanism or in the
spokes of the rear wheels. This could cause the chair to
come to a sudden stop.
• Riding over drains or grids could cause the wheelchair
castors or wheels to become lodged, causing the chair to
come to a sudden stop.
Adverse condions:
Please be aware that when driving your wheelchair in
adverse condions, e.g. on wet grass, mud, ice, snow or
other slippery surfaces, you may experience a reducon in
the grip and tracon of your wheelchair.
DANGER!
• We recommend you take extra precauons in these
condions, parcularly on hills and slopes; your wheelchair
could become unstable or skid causing possible injury.
• When you are using a Powered Wheelchair take extra care
with loose or long items of clothing. Moving parts, such
as wheels, can be potenally dangerous or even fatal if
clothing becomes entangled.
NOTE :
Extreme variances in temperature may trigger the self protect
mechanism in the control system. If this occurs the control
system will temporarily shut down to prevent damage to the
electronics or the wheelchair.
5.4 Curves
DANGER!
Full speed turns should not be aempted. If you need to turn
sharply you must reduce your speed with the joysck or speed
seng. This is parcularly important when travelling across
or down a slope. Disregarding this advice could lead to your
wheelchair pping over.
WARNING!
Use indicators when changing direcon.
5.5 Braking & Emergency stop
There are three ways to stop your wheelchair:
• Simplest and safest way to stop the wheelchair is to release
the joysck. This will bring the chair to a halt in a controlled
manner.
• Pulling back the joysck will break the chair abruptly with a
fast stop.
• Switching the control system o whilst the chair is in
moon will also bring the chair to a halt.
WARNING!
• Switching the control system o is only to be used in an
emergency situaon as the stopping acon is very abrupt.
• Never try to stop or slow this seang system with the wheel
locks (if applicable). Wheel locks are designed to pre-vent
the system from moving when stopped. They are not
brakes.

5.6 Driving on a slope
Your wheelchair has been designed and tested to allow its use
on slopes or gradients of up to:
Q700 M: 6° (10.5%) in standard conguraon.
Q700 M HD: 7.5° (13.2%) in standard conguraon.
Q700 F: 6° (10.5%) in standard conguraon.
Q700 R: 6° (10.5%) in standard conguraon.
However, you have the opon of adjusng your posion with
the seat elevator, lt in space, powered recline or powered
centre mount leg rest or a combinaon of these opons.
DANGER!
• Elevang, lng and leg rest adjustments can aect the
wheelchair centre of gravity. Under certain condions this
might cause instability that could lead to unintenonal
pping. It may be necessary to carry out a risk assessment if
the wheelchair is adjusted to extremes.
• Stopping distances on slopes can be signicantly longer
than on level ground.
DANGER!
• In certain circumstances your wheelchair could become
unstable.
• Before aempng to climb or descend a slope or a kerb,
cauon should be taken when using weight shi opons
(e.g. powered , recline or standing), of the seat and/or your
body for a counter balance weight.
• To improve stability lean forward when driving uphill, with
the seat and back in an upright posion.
• Alternavely sit in an upright posion when travelling in
a forward, downhill direcon or and/or recline the seat
backwards.
• We strongly recommend that you return the seat and
back to their home posions before aempng to climb
or descend a slope. Failure to do this may cause the
wheelchair to become unstable.
• If you are in any doubt about the capabilies of your
wheelchair on a slope then do not aempt to drive up or
down the slope/kerb; try to nd an alternave route.
Gradients: ascents:
WARNING!
• When going uphill, keep the chair moving.
• Steer by carefully moving the joysck forwards making slight
Le and Right adjustments as you go.
• If you have stopped on a hill, you should start slowly.
• If necessary lean forward.
Gradients: descents:
On descents, it is important not to let the wheelchair accelerate
beyond its normal level of ground speed.
DANGER!
• Proceed slowly down steep descents, (below the speed of
5kph) and stop if you fell anxious.
• If the chair picks up speed, centre the joysck to its home
posion to allow it to slow, or to stop.
• Restart slowly and do not allow the speed to increase above
what you are comfortable with.
NOTE:
• The controller has the benet of a logic system that will help
compensate when driving along a camber or up a hill. This
is an added safety feature on your wheelchair. In addion of
course, you may control the wheelchair speed by using the
speed control.

5.7 Obstacles & kerbs:
DANGER!
• Never descend a kerb backwards.
• Do not aempt to climb or descend a series of steps or use
on escalators. It is unsafe to do so and could cause personal
injury or damage the chair. This wheelchair has only been
designed to climb a single step or kerb.
• We recommend that users with upper trunk instability wear
restraint systems to keep the upright body posion during
descending or ascending ramps, kerbs or obstacles.
Kerb climbing:
Always approach a kerb at 90° (Fig. 5.1).
• Approach the kerb or step, head on at a 90° angle.
• Drive forwards slowly and steadily.
• Stop the chair as soon as the castor wheels touch the kerb.
• Apply sucient power to the motors to li the front of
the chair up onto the kerb or step and then apply slightly
more power unl the drive wheels climb the kerb or step
smoothly.
• As far as possible, keep the joysck in the straight forward
posion.
The maximum obstacle or kerb climbing height is:
• Q700 M: 100 mm.
• Q700 M HD: 75 mm.
• Q700 F: 70 mm.
• Q700 R: 80 mm.
• Q700 R + kerbclimber: 100 mm.
The approach speed and process can vary depending on your
wheelchair drive type and castor wheel choice.
Dismounng the kerb.
DANGER!
Move the chair slowly and carefully in a forward direcon unl
both front wheels are on the edge of the kerb, again in a 90°
posion to the kerb.
Drive as slowly as possible o the kerb with the drive wheels.
Don’t stop the chair during decent of the kerb. You will feel
more secure if you can lean backwards, but if you can’t, don’t
worry, the wheelchair is stable. As long as you stay within its
limitaon, you will be quite safe.
All powered seang opons need to be in home posion. Your
powered leg rests may need to be adjusted to give enough
clearance to mount or dismount the kerb.
We recommend to use the lap strap to feel more secure during
declining the kerb. For extra protecon we recommend to t
every chair with the leg rests.

5.8 Pushing the wheelchair
The wheelchair can be moved by pushing. In order to do so, the
motors must be disengaged using a freewheel lever. This feature was
developed for the aendants of wheelchair users and also funcons
as an emergency freewheel lever.
The freewheel lever has 2 posions
1. For driving the wheelchair. (Fig. 5.2).
‘Drive’ posion: Turn the lever so that the lever at the drive wheel
side is poinng upwards.
2. For disengaging the motors. (Fig. 5.3 - Fig.5.4).
‘Push’ posion: Turn the lever so that the lever at the drive wheel
side is poinng downwards.
DANGER!
• The free wheel lever should only be operated by the aendant and
never by the user.
• A user may never be le unaended while the wheelchair is in
‘push’.
• Never set the lever to the ‘push’ posion on a slope! When the
freewheel lever is set to ‘push’, the automac parking brake is
deacvated. This makes it possible for the wheelchair to roll down
the slope.
• The automac parking brake only works is the lever is set to ‘drive’
posion.
• When the wheelchair is no longer being pushed, the freewheel
lever should be set to ‘drive’ immediately.
• To manually push the system you must release the motor brakes.
• Do not engage or disengage motor brakes unless power to the
system is o.
• Make sure you have full control over the system when you release
the motor brakes. When you do so the system will not have brakes.
• Make sure the system is on level ground before you release the
motor brakes.
• Propel this system by the push handles only. They provide secure
points for you to hold the rear of the system to prevent a fall or
p-over.
• Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip o.

5.9 (Powered) seang opons
The wheelchair can be equipped by the following mechanical and/or
powered opons to adjust your seang posion. These opons can
be operated by the user without the use of tools.
Powered adjustable seang opons (Fig.5.5 - Fig.5.7).
How to operate these powered seang opons can be found in &
Controller + & Seang:
1. Powered lt funcon
2. Powered seat elevator
3. Powered backrest recline
4. Powered elevang leg rests
DANGER!
• Use of the powered adjustable seang opons may inuence the
stability of the wheelchair.
• Only use the powered adjustable seang opons when the
wheelchair is on a at surface! Do Not aempt to operate any
power seang opon while posioned on an incline.
• Please stay clear of any powered actuator while the component
is in moon. Sunrise power mechanisms move over large ranges
of travel. Users should be aware of their surroundings while
components are in moon.
• While driving this seang system in the reclined, elevated, or lted
posion use cauon.
• Do Not aempt to operate any power seang opon while this
seang system is in moon.
• Do not aempt to operate the li or lt power seang opons
around children.
• Through programming it is possible to reverse the direcon of all
powered seang funcons, ensure you know which direcon your
seat is going to move before operang.
• Please be aware that the li/lt modules present a trap hazard.
Make sure that during operaon the li/lt modules are free from
all clothing, hands, feet and other extremies, to prevent injury.
• Do not drive on ramps or slopes with the seang in the elevated
posion. Before aempng to climb or descend a slope, return the
wheelchair to a standard seated drive posion, with the backrest
upright.
• This power system is designed to automacally reduce the
maximum driving speed to a creep mode or stop when certain
power seang limits are reached. Depending on the conguraon
of the chair there might be mulple creep speeds.

6.0 Baeries, charging and range
6.1 Baeries
Baeries are the power source for almost all of the modern
mobility products available today. The design of baeries used
in mobility products is signicantly dierent to the baeries
used to start a car for example. Car baeries are designed
to release a large amount of power over a short period of
me, whilst mobility baeries (commonly called deep cycle
baeries) release their power evenly, over a long period of
me. Therefore, due to the lower producon volumes and
increased technological requirements, mobility baeries are
typically more expensive.
Commonly two 12 volt baeries are used together in a
mobility product, giving a total voltage of 24 volts. The size
of the baery (e.g. its available power) is expressed in amps
per hour e.g. 70amp/hr. The higher the number, the bigger
the baery size, weight and, potenally, the greater the
distance you can travel. Sunrise Medical only t as standard
maintenance free baeries into these types of wheelchairs.
This type of baery uses a method of carrying the electrolyte
commonly referred to as ‘gel’, that is held within the baery
case. As the name implies, no maintenance is required other
than regular charging. You can safely transport this type of
baery without fear of acid spilling. Furthermore, they are
approved for transportaon on aircra, trains and ships.
CAUTION!
• Do not t car baeries to the wheelchair. Fit only deep cycle,
maintenance free mobility baeries.
• When the baeries are worn out, take them to the local
authority disposal point.
• Do not expose any part of the baery to direct heat (i.e.
naked ame, gas re).
• Be extra cauous to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool
onto the baery. It could spark or short circuit the baery
or other electrical parts that may cause an explosion. Also
take o all personal metal eects and dangling objects when
working on the baery.
• Return the baeries back to Sunrise Medical or directly to
the baery manufacturer for recycling, when they no longer
hold charge.
• The baery terminals need to be checked regularly for
signs of corrosion. If any corrosion is apparent, then clean
the terminals completely and re-grease the terminal using
Vaseline petroleum jelly, not ordinary grease. Ensure that
the terminal nut and bolt, cable clip and exposed cable are
completely covered with jelly.
DANGER!
• Do not expose any part of the baery to direct heat (i.e.
naked ame, gas re).
• Be extra cauous to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool
onto the baery. It could spark or short circuit the baery

5.10 Seat Memory Posion (Sedeo Ergo only)
The control system on the Q700 M/F/R / Q700 M HD has 4
predened seat memory posions. Each memory locaon has
a set of factory seat posioning presets:
1. Relax funcon.
2. Lie down funcon.
3. Seat funcon
There is a 4th Memory posion (Personalised Posion) that
can be used as a customer-specic seat posion. The Seat
actuators are all working with a feedback system to track their
posions and movements.
This is important:
a. to reach the required memory posion.
b. to prevent mechanical clashes of the seat.
c. to operate the actuators especially towards the memory
posions in an ergonomic, smooth and safe way.
Although there is one free programmable seat Memory
posion, all predened Memory posions, if not suitable
for the user, can be changed and personalised to the needs
required.
The soware takes into account the range of the available
mechanical movements and also all safety aspects.
Seat funcon:
The seat funcon as described in no.3 in the text above is a
predened ‘standard’ seat posion.
It also creates the possibility to always return to this ‘standard’
seat posion when you are using other memory posions
(Relax or Lie down). This can be achieved by pulling the
joysck backwards.
