Contraindicaons
WARNING!
A wheelchair with Standing funcon can only be used upon
prescripon by a doctor.
Here are the most common contraindicaon for the use of a
wheelchair with Standing funcon:
• Reduced bone density: Should the bones already be very
weak it is not recommended to stand. This could lead to
fractures. In this case consult your doctor for a bone density
measurement.
• Poor circulaon: For heart or circulatory diseases standing
should only occur under medical supervision (cardio
training). Please consult a doctor in this case.
• Severe mobility limitaons or severe contractures.
Benets Of A Daily Standing
The use of any stand-up device should be done only under the
prescripon and supervision of a medical professional.
At the outset, it is recommended that your introducon to
regular standing be closely monitored by your Physical or
Occupaonal Therapist.
It has been documented that the regular and cyclical acvity of
going from the seated to the standing posion may oer many
benets to those that are no longer able to stand on their
own. The benets are two fold:
1) there is the ability to once again funcon in daily acvies
that necessitate standing (reaching le cabinets and
equipment in the workplace, accessing cupboards/stoves/
shelving at home, as well as the ability to interact eye to eye);
and,
2) the potenal of physical benets that result from repeated
standing (these benets may include improved; range of
moon, bone density, circulaon, bowel and bladder funcon,
etc.).
WARNING!
Elevaon to standing posion:
• Elevaon to standing posion and operaon in standing
posion must only be done on a at surface. When the
chair is in elevated posion, never reach out from the chair,
due the higher pping risk.
• The operaon of the Stand Up funcon (and other pre-
dened seang posions) will cause mulple actuators to
operate simultaneously.
• If the seang system operates unintenonally or erracally
immediately switch o the system with the On/O buon.
CAUTION!
Posioning Belt:
Quickie posioning belts are designed to posion the user only
and will not protect you in an accident. You may even receive
further injury from the belts.
3.3 Indicaons And Contraindicaons
Indicaons And Contraindicaon For The Use Of Stand-Up
Wheelchairs.
These indicaons and contraindicaons are based on general
observaons. The condions for regular standing training
varies from person to person and should be individually
agreed with a doctor or therapist.
Only a doctor or therapist can decide which method and safe
standing training can be achieved with the Quickie wheelchair.
Indicaons
The Quickie Q700-Up M/F wheelchair with Standing funcon
is specically developed for people who have lost to their
ability to stand (e.g. paraplegia, mulple sclerosis, cerebral
palsy etc.). Standing is used for therapy and prophylaxis of:
• Osteoporosis: Without regular standing / vercal stress of
the bones, bone density can steadily decrease. This leads to
the risk of bone fractures and other complicaons.
• Decubitus prophylaxis: Whilst standing the pressure on the
ischial tuberosity is reduced to a minimum.
• Skeletal misalignments / back pain: Whilst seated the
spinal column is naturally elongated (kyphosis/hunchback).
Standing facilitates a natural spinal posion and therefore
beer upper body stability. This prevents the risk of a
scoliosis.
• Muscular atrophy: Without regular leg movement, the
risk of muscle shortening increases (muscular atrophy)
and consequently contractures may develop. Regular,
self-standing training help as movement therapy, thereby
avoiding contractures and prevenng possible associated
pains and expensive operaons.
• Tonus regulaon of spascity: Frequent standing helps
to reduce spascity and facilitates seat movement and
posioning in the wheelchair or bed. This supports a
peaceful sleep.
• Deeper respiraon: Straightening the upper body through
standing decreases the pressure of the abdominal cavity on
the lungs. This improves and deepens respiraon, facilitates
breathing and can also help reduce the risk of pneumonia.
• Gastrointesnal complicaons: As with breathing, standing
also reduces the pressure on the digesve system. This
facilitates digeson (intesnal peristalsis) and helps with the
improvement of bowl and bladder funcons.

4.0 Seng up the wheelchair
The average wheelchair user does not exist. This is why Sunrise
Medical wheelchairs can be adjusted according to specic
needs of the user.
In this, we make a disncon between wheelchair sengs and
wheelchair seang adjustment opons. Sengs are carried
out once, the rst me the wheelchair is going to be used.
They must be executed by qualied specialist, unless explicitly
stated otherwise. Seang adjustment opons can be carried
out by the user. These adjustment opons do not require the
use of tools.
4.1 Seang system
The extensive sengs with respect to the seang system allow
for opmum support of the body (& Seang system). The
following seng opons are possible:
1. Seat depth and seat width
2. Backrest angle
3. Armrest height/width
4. Lower leg length
5. Angle of the footplate
6. Legrest angle
4.2 Seat height
Depending on the specic circumstances of the user of the
wheelchair the seat height can be set. Every oponal seat
height lies within the maximum safe slope as described
in EN12184 (2014) ClassB. Lowering the seat height has a
posive inuence on the (dynamic) stability.
WARNING!
Increasing the seat height has a negave eect on dynamic
stability.

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, (Secon 8.2).
Checking baeries
• 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. & Controller.
Checking free wheel lever
• Ensure that the free wheel lever has been set to ‘drive’.
(Secon. 5.8).
Checking seang & Seang system:
• 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.

5.3 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.
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.
WARNING!
• 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.

Q700-UP M/F Rev.A
ENGLISH
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 Breaking & 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 prevent
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-UP M: 10° (17.6%) in standard conguraon
Q700-UP F: 8° (14%) 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!
• Standing, 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.
• Do not use the stand-up funcon on slopes or uneven
ground.
• 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 solid state 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. 5.5).
• 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-UP M: 100 mm.
• Q700-UP F: 70 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. (Fig. 5.3).
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. 5.6).
‘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. 5.7 - Fig.5.8).
‘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 switch 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 if the switch 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.

• 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.
