V. EM I (E LE CTROMA GN ET IC I NT ER FE RE NC E)
D.D STANCE FROM THE SOURCE
WARN NG
EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get closer to the
source. For this reason, EMI from hand-held devices is of special con-
cern. (See C.1) A person using one of these devices can bring high
levels of EM energy very close to your chair without you knowing it.
E. MMUN TY LEVEL
WARN NG
1. The level of EM energy is measured in volts per meter (V/m).
Every power wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain level.
This is called its “immunity level”.
2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is
believed that a 20 V/m immunity level will protect the power
wheelchair user from the more common sources of radio waves.
3. The configuration tested and found to be immune to at least 20
V/m is: Quickie S-646 ( D)/S-646 SE ( D) power wheelchair
with a right hand mounted QTRONIX remote joystick system,
20” seat width, 18” seat depth, dual-post height adjustable arm-
rests, swing-away hangers and GP 24 gel cell batteries.
4. Specialty input devices with an unknown immunity level
because the devices were not tested with the S-646 ( D)/S-
646 SE ( D) and QTRONIX controller include:
WARN NG
ndividuals with physical limitations requiring the use of
a specialty control input device known not to be
immune to 20 V/m, or not known, should exercise extra
care around known sources of EM .
WARN NG
There is no way to know the effect on EM if you add
accessories or modify this chair. Any change to your
chair may increase the risk of EM . Parts from other
suppliers have unknown EM properties.
F. REPORT ALL SUSPECTED EM NC DENTS
WARN NG
You should promptly report any unintended movement or brake
release. Be sure to indicate whether there was a radio wave source
near your chair at the time.

WARN NG
Heed all warnings to reduce the risk of unintended
brake release or chair movement:
1. Beware of the danger from hand-held transceivers.
Never turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while
power to your chair is on. Use extra care if you believe
that such a device may be in use near your chair.
2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid
coming close to them.
3. If unintended movement occurs, turn your chair off as
soon as it is safe to do so.
A. WHAT S EM ?
WARN NG
1. EMI means: electromagnetic (EM) interference (I). EMI
comes from radio wave sources such as radio transmitters
and transceivers. (A “transceiver” is a device that both sends
and receives radio wave signals).
2. There are a number of sources of intense EMI in your daily
environment. Some of these are obvious and easy to avoid.
Others are not, and you may not be able to avoid them.
3. Powered wheelchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) emitted from sources such as radio sta-
tions, TV stations, amateur radio ( AM) transmitters, two-
way radios, and cellular phones.
4. EMI can also be produced by conducted sources or electo-
static discharge (ESD).
B. WHAT EFFECT CAN EM HAVE?
WARN NG
1. EMI can cause your chair, without warning, to:
• Release its brakes
• Move by itself
• Move in unintended directions
If any of these occurs, it could result in severe injury to you
or others.
2. EMI can damage the control system of your chair. This could
create a safety hazard, and lead to costly repairs.
C. SOURCES OF EM
WARN NG
The sources of EMI fall into three broad types:
1. Hand-Held Transceivers:
The antenna is usually mounted directly on the unit. These include:
Citizens band (CB) radios, “Walkie-talkies”, Security, fire and police
radios, Cellular phones, Lap-top computers with phone or fax,
Other personal communication devices
NOTE– These devices can transmit signals while they are on, even if not in use.
2. Medium-Range Mobile Transceivers:
These include two-way radios used in police cars, fire trucks,
ambulances and taxi cabs. The antenna is usually mounted on the
outside of the vehicle.
3. Long-Range Transceivers:
These include commercial radio and TV broadcast antenna towers
and amateur ( AM) radios.
NOTE– The following are not likely to cause EMI problems: Lap-top com-
puters (without phone or fax), Cordless phones, TV sets or AM/FM
radios, CD or tape players.

VI . GE NE RA L AR NI NG S
WARN NG
Heed all warnings in this section. f you fail to do so a
fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause
severe injury to your or others.
A. NOT CE TO R DER
WARN NG
1. Before using this chair, you should be trained in its safe use
by your health care professional.
2. Every wheelchair is different. Take the time to learn the feel
of this chair before you begin riding.
3. Be aware that you must develop your own methods for the
safe use of this chair that are best suited to your level of
function and ability.
4. ave someone help you practice bending, reaching and
transfering until you learn how to do them safely.
5. Never try a new maneuver on your own unless you are sure
it is safe.
6. Get to know the areas where you plan to use your chair.
Look for hazards and learn how to avoid them.
B. NOT CE TO ATTENDANTS
WARN NG
Make sure you heed all warnings and follow all instructions in each
section of this manual. (Be aware that warnings that apply to the
rider also apply to you).
Notes:
1. You need to work with the rider, and the rider’s doctor,
nurse or therapist, to develop safe methods best suited to
your abilities and those of the rider.
2. To manually push the chair you must release the motor locks.
• Make sure you have full control over the chair when you
release the motor locks. When you do so the chair will
not have brakes.
3. Propel this chair by the push handles only. They provide
secure points for you to hold the rear of the chair to prevent
a fall or tip-over.
• Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or
slip off.
Helping The Rider Overcome An Obstacle:
1. 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.
2. Before each maneuver, 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. Go straight up and straight down a curb or stair. If you turn,
or climb or descend at an angle, a fall or tip-over is likely.
4. Remind the rider to lean back when you tilt the chair backward.
5. Lower the chair slowly. Do not let the chair drop to the
pavement or ground. Doing so may damage the chair or
injure the rider.
C. WE GHT L M T
WARN NG
1. Never exceed the following weight capacities:
Quickie S-636 SC = 300 lbs; Quickie S-636 MPC = 300 lbs.
The weight capacity of your S-636 is identified by a label
located on the inside cover of the battery compartment door.
2. Never use this chair for weight training if the total weight
(rider plus weights lifted) exceeds the indicated weight
capacity of the wheelchair.
3. Exceeding the weight limit is likely to damage the seat, frame
or fasteners and may cause severe injury to you or others
from chair failure.
4. Exceeding the weight limit will void the warranty.
D.CONTROLLER SETT NGS
WARN NG
Be aware that you may need to adjust the controller settings of
your chair to reduce the risk of a collision, fall or tip-over.
1. Check and adjust the settings every six to twelve months (or
more often, if needed).
2. Consult your supplier to adjust the control settings immedi-
ately if you notice any change in your ability to:
• Control the joystick.
• old your torso erect.
• Avoid running into objects.
E. EM
WARN NG
Read Section V to learn about EMI. To reduce the risk of unintend-
ed brake release or chair movement:
1. Never turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while power to
your chair is on.
Use extra care if you believe that such a device may be in use
near your chair.
2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid coming
close to them.
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn your
chair off as soon
as it is safe.
F. SAFETY CHECK-L ST
WARN NG
Before each use of this chair:
1. Make sure the chair operates smoothly. Check for noise,
vibration, or a change in ease of use. (They may indicate low
tire pressure, loose fasteners, or damage to your chair).
• If you detect a problem, make sure to repair or adjust
the chair. Deferring repair or adjustment could increase
the risk for injury. Your supplier can help you find and
correct the problem.
2. Make sure batteries are charged. Green lights on charge indi-
cator will light up when charge is full. Yellow lights indicate
battery charge level is getting low. Red lights indicate batter-
ies are in immediate need of charging.

concrete, asphalt and indoor flooring.
2. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil or over rough
terrain. Doing so may damage wheels, bearings, axles or
motors, or loosen fasteners.
K. STREET USE
WARN NG
n most states, power chairs are not legal for use on
public roads. Be alert to the danger of motor vehicles
on roads or in parking lots.
1. At night, or when it is hard to see, use reflective tape on your
chair and clothing.
2. It may be hard for drivers to see you. Make eye contact with
drivers before you proceed. When in doubt, yield until you
are sure it is safe.
L. MOTOR VEH CLE SAFETY
WARN NG
To date, the U.S. Department of Transportation has not
approved any tie down system for transporting a wheel-
chair in a motor vehicle.
1. Never sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle. In an acci-
dent or sudden stop you may be thrown from the chair.
• Wheelchair belts are designed to position the rider
only and will not protect you in an accident; further
injury may result from the belts.
2. Always move to an approved vehicle seat. You must be
secured with proper motor vehicle restraints.
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.
M. CENTER OF BALANCE
WARN NG
The point where this chair will tip forward, back, or to
the side depends on its center of balance and stability.
The Center Of Balance s Affected By:
1. The seat height and seat angle.
2. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution.
3. Using this chair on a ramp or slope.
4. The use of a back pack or other options, and the amount of
added weight.
To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over:
1. Consult your supplier for information on modifications
authorized by Sunrise before you modify or adjust this chair.
NNOOTTEE––You may need to make additional changes to correct the center of
balance.
2. Use extreme care until you know the balance points of this
chair and how to avoid a fall or tip-over.
G.CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS
WARN NG
Never use non-Quickie parts or make a 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 a
fall or tip-over.
2. Modifications unauthorized by Sunrise constitutes remanufac-
turing of the wheelchair. This voids the warranty. The rider
then assumes all future liability for the wheelchair.
H.WHEN SEATED N A PARKED
WHEELCHA R
WARN NG
1. Always turn off all power to your chair when you are
parked, even for a moment. This will prevent:
• Accidental movement from contact with the joystick by
you or others.
• Unintended brake release or movement from EMI
sources. (See Section V)
2. Make sure that persons who help you (for example, store
clerks) are aware of the joystick and do not touch it. If they
do, your chair may move suddenly when you do not expect
it.
. ENV RONMENTAL COND T ONS
WARN NG
Your chair is not designed for use in a heavy rain storm, or in
snowy or icy conditions.
1. Contact with water or excessive moisture can cause an elec-
trical malfunction. The frame, motors and other chair parts
are not water-tight and may rust or corrode from the inside.
To avoid a chair failure:
• Minimize exposure of your chair to a rain storm or very
wet conditions.
• Never take your chair into a shower, tub, pool or sauna.
• Do not use your chair in fresh or salt water (such as at
the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean).
• Make sure battery cover is secure.
• Replace joystick boot if it becomes torn or cracked.
• Make sure all electrical connections are secure.
• Dry the chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use
water to clean it.
2. Proceed slowly and use extra care if you must operate your
chair on a wet or slick surface.
• Do so only if you are sure it is safe.
• Stop if one or both main wheels lose traction. If this
occurs, you may lose control of your chair or fall.
• Never operate your chair on a slope or ramp if there is
snow, ice, water or oil film present.
• When in doubt, have someone help you.
3. When not in use, keep your chair in a clean, dry place.

N.TRANSFERS
WARN NG
t is dangerous to transfer on your own. t 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. Always turn off power before you transfer to or from your
chair. If you fail to do so you may touch the joystick and
cause your chair to move when you do not expect it.
2. Make sure motor locks are engaged. This keeps the chair
from moving when you transfer.
3. Work with your health care professional to learn safe methods.
• Learn how to position your body and how to support
yourself during a transfer.
• ave someone help you until you are sure you can do a
safe transfer on your own.
4. Move your chair as close as you can to the seat you are
transferring to. If possible, use a transfer board.
5. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
6. Be careful of the footrests. If you can, remove or swing them
out of the way.
• Never stand on footrests when you transfer. Doing so
may damage them or cause your chair to tip.
• Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in
the space between the footrests.
7. Make sure armrests do not interfere.
8. Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can. This
will reduce the risk that you will miss the seat or fall.
O.REACH NG OR LEAN NG
WARN NG
Reaching or leaning affects the center of balance of your
chair. f done improperly, a fall or tip-over is likely. When in
doubt, ask for help or use a device to extend your reach.
To Reduce the Risk of injury and/or Damage to the Chair:
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 you lose your balance).
4. Never try to pick up an object from the floor by reaching
down between your knees.
5. Never put pressure on the footrests while reaching. This
may cause the chair to tip if you lean too far.
6. Never reach or lean over the top of the seat back. This may
damage the backrest and cause you to fall.
f You Must Reach Or Lean; Do So at Your Own Risk.
Remember to:
1. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you wish
to reach.
2. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possi-
ble. This makes the chair more stable.
NOTE– To do this: Move your chair past the object you want to reach, then
back up alongside it. Backing up will rotate the casters forward.
3. Turn off all power to your chair. If you fail to do so, you may
touch the joystick and cause your chair to move when you
do not expect it.
4. Firmly grasp a rear wheel or an armrest with one hand. This
will help to prevent a fall if the chair tips.
P. DRESS NG OR CHANG NG CLOTHES
WARN NG
Be aware that your weight will shift if you dress or
change clothes while seated in this chair. To make the
chair more stable, rotate the front casters until they are
forward.
Q.OBSTACLES
WARN NG
Obstacles you may have to overcome in daily use
include door thresholds, lifts, ramps and hazards such as
potholes and broken pavement. These can damage your
chair and may cause a fall, tip-over or loss of control.
1. Be aware that thresholds are very dangerous. (Even a small
change in height may stop a caster wheel and cause your
chair to tip). You may need to:
• Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.
• Install a ramp at entry or exit doors.
2. Keep your eyes moving when you ride; scan the area well
ahead of your chair.
3. Make sure the floor areas where you use this chair are level
and free of obstacles.
4. To help correct your center of balance:
• Lean your upper body forward slightly as you go up over
an obstacle.
• Press your upper body backward as you go down from a
higher to a lower level.

Use extra care when you drive your chair in reverse.
You may lose control or fall if one of the rear wheels
hits an object.
1. Operate your chair slowly and at an even speed.
2. Stop often and check to make sure your path is clear of
obstacles.
S. RAMPS, SLOPES & S DEH LLS
WARN NG
The center of balance of your chair changes when you
are on a slope.
NOTE– “Slope” includes a ramp or side hill. Your chair is less stable when it
is at an angle. Never use this chair on a slope unless your are sure
it is safe. When in doubt, have someone help you.
Beware Of:
1. Steep slopes. Do Not use this chair on a slope steeper than 10°.
2. Wet or slippery surfaces (such as when ice, snow, water or oil
film is present). A loss of traction may cause a fall or tip-over.
3. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression).
These may cause a fall or tip-over.
4. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. (A drop-off of as small
as 3/4 inch can stop a front caster and cause the chair to tip
forward).

V. WHEELCHA R L FTS
WARN NG
Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses, and buildings to
help you move from one level to another.
1. Always turn off all power to your chair when you are on a
lift. If you fail to do so, you may touch the joystick by acci-
dent and cause your chair to drive off the platform. (Be
aware that a “roll-stop” at the end of the platform may not
prevent this).
2. Make sure there is not a lip or drop-off at the top or bottom
of the platform. These may cause a fall or tip-over. When in
doubt, have someone help you.
3. Always position the rider securely in the chair to help prevent
falls while on a lift.
4. Avoid moving forward if a wheel is “hung up” on the lip of
the ramp. Backup, reposition the caster for a more direct
approach. And slowly try again.
W. CURBS & S NGLE STEPS
WARN NG
1. Your chair is not designed to drive up or down a curb or step
more than two (2) inches high. Doing so may:
• Result in a fall or tip-over.
• Damage the frame, wheels, axles or other chair parts, or
loosen fasteners.
2. To prevent a fall or tip-over, use wheelchair access ramps or
have someone help you.
3. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at
your own risk and use extreme care.
• Go as straight up or straight down as you can. Never turn
or climb or descend at an angle as a fall or tip-over is likely.
• Proceed slowly, at a steady speed.
4. Make sure that persons who assist you review the “Tips For
Attendants” and heed all warnings.
X.STA RS
WARN NG
Never use this chair to go up or down stairs, even with
an attendant. Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.
Y. ESCALATORS
WARN NG
Never take this chair on an escalator, even with an
attendant. Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.
T. TO REDUCE THE R SK OF A FALL, T P-
OVER OR LOSS OF CONTROL:
WARN NG
1. Never use your chair on a slope unless you are sure you can
do so without losing traction.
2. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can.
• Do not “cut the corner” on a slope or ramp.
• Do not turn or change direction on a slope.
3. Always stay in the center of the ramp. Make sure ramp is
wide enough that you are not at risk that a wheel may roll off
the side.
4. Lean or press your body uphill.
This will help adjust for a
change in the center of balance
caused by the slope. (Fig. 1)
5. Keep your chair moving at a
slow, steady speed. Keep con-
trol over the chair at all times.
• On a descent, do not let
your chair accelerate
beyond its normal speed.
• If the chair picks up speed,
center the joystick to slow
down or stop.
NOTE– The solid state controller of your chair has a logic system that will
help control your speed when driving on a slope or uphill.
• If you stop, re-start slowly.
6. Never use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair.
This is likely to cause the chair to veer out of control.
U. RAMPS AT HOME & WORK
WARN NG
Make sure ramps meet all Building Codes for your area.
For your safety, have a licensed contractor build or remodel ramp
to meet all standards.
NOTE– The proper design will vary, depending on such things as: the length
and height of the ramp; the need for an intermediate platform;
landing size; doors, and the direction of swing, and; whether the
ramp includes a turn or angle.
At A Minimum:
1. Open sides of ramp must have side rails to prevent your
chair from going over the edge.
2. Slope must not be steeper than one inch in height for every
one foot of slope length.
3. Ramp surface must be even, and have a non-skid surface.
4. You may need to add a section at the top or bottom to avoid
a lip or drop-off.
5. Ramp must be sturdy. Add bracing if needed, so ramp does
not “bow” when you ride on it.

er torque settings.
F. FOOTRESTS
WARN NG
1. At the lowest point, footrests should be at least 2 1/2 inch-
es off the ground. If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on
obstacles you can expect to find in normal use. This may
cause the chair to stop suddenly and tip forward.
2. To avoid a trip or fall when you transfer:
• Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in
the space between the footrests.
•Avoid putting weight on the footrests, as the chair may
tip forward.
• Remove or swing the footrests out of the way, if possible.
3. Never lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and
will not bear the weight of this chair. Lift this chair only by
non-detachable parts of the main frame.
G.MOTOR LOCKS

3. Make sure that the person pushing the chair has full control
when motor locks are disengaged.
H.ON/OFF SW TCH
WARN NG
1. Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop the chair except in an
emergency. This will result in an abrupt stop, and may
cause you to fall.
2. To slow your chair to a stop, return the joystick to neutral.
. PNEUMAT C T RES
WARN NG
Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes
your chair easier to use.
1. Do not use this chair if any of the tires are under- or over-
inflated. Check weekly for proper inflation level, as listed on
the tire sidewall.
2. Low pressure in a tire may cause the chair to veer to one
side and result in a loss of control.
3. An over-inflated tire may burst.
4. Never use a gas station air pump to inflate a tire. Such pumps
provide air at high volume, and could cause the tire to burst.
To prevent tire damage:
• Use a hand pump (or a low volume air pump) to inflate
tires.
• Use a tire gauge to check pressure.
5. Driving over sharp objects may cause damage to pneumatic
tires and tubes.

N. UPHOLSTERY FABR C
WARN NG
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat sling and seat back as
soon as you can. If you fail to do so, the seat may fail and
cause you to fall. Worn fabrics may increase the potential for
a fire hazard.
2. Sling fabric will deteriorate with age and use. Look for fray-
ing, thin spots, or stretching of fabric at rivet holes. Replace
fabric as required.
3. “Dropping down” into sling seat will weaken fabric and result in
the need to inspect and replace sling on a more frequent basis.
4. Be aware that washing may reduce flame retardation of the
fabric.
J. POS T ON NG BELTS (STANDARD OR
OPT ONAL)
WARN NG
Use a positioning belt only to help support your pos-
ture. mproper use of such belts may cause severe
injury or death.
1. Make sure you are not at risk to slide down in the wheelchair
seat. If this occurs, you may suffer chest compression or suffo-
cate due to pressure from the belt.
2. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep you from
sliding down in the seat. Consult your health care professional
to find out if you need such a device.
3. The belt must be snug, but must not be so tight that it inter-
feres with breathing. You should be able to slide your open
hand, flat, between the belt and your stomach.
4. Make sure you can easily remove the belt in an emergency.
5. Never use a positioning belt:
• In place of a motor vehicle seat belt. In an accident or
sudden stop you may be thrown from the chair. A posi-
tioning belt will not prevent this, and further injury may
result from the belt.
• As a restraint. A restraint requires a doctor’s order.
• On a rider who is comatose or agitated.
K. PUSH HANDLES
WARN NG
1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to propel
and control the chair. This helps to prevent a fall or tip-over.
2. Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
VI II . TIPS FOR AT TE NDANTS
B. TO DESCEND A CURB OR S NGLE STEP

Never use a high-powered washer for cleaning the shock. Always use mild soap
and a small brush.
2. Damping Adjustment
The Rock Shox suspension system used on the S-636 SC/S-636 MPC has the ability to adjust
the rebound (damping) of the suspension. Rebound or damping is the rate at which the
spring returns to its original position after experiencing a deflection.
a) Adjustment of the rebound (damping) is done by turning the red knob (C) on the sus-
pension. Turning the red knob clockwise slows the rate of return or decreases the
rebound. Turning the red knob counterclockwise quickens the rate of return or
increases the rebound.
b) Too much rebound will feel like the system stiffens over a bumpy surface. Adjust the
red knob a half turn counterclockwise and test for performance.
c) Too little rebound will feel like the system is trying to buck the rider out of the seat.
Turn the red knob a half turn clockwise and test for performance.
Q.CHECK-OUT
Once the wheelchair is assembled and adjusted, it should roll smoothly and easily.
All accessories should also perform smoothly.
After the wheelchair has been set up be sure the chair performs to your specified
operational settings (see section X. Operating Guide). If the chair does not perform to specifi-
cations, turn the wheelchair OFF immediately and reprogram operational specifications using
the QTRONIX Programming Pad.
Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications before
attempting active use of the wheelchair.
If you have any problems, follow these procedures:
1. Review the set-up and check-out section and operating guide to make sure
chair was properly prepared.
2. If your problem persists, contact your authorized supplier. If you still have a
problem after contacting your authorized supplier, contact Sunrise customer
service. See the introduction page for details on how to contact your author-
ized supplier or Sunrise customer service.

X. OPERATING GUIDE
C. THERMAL ROLL-BACK
Your chair has a thermal roll-back circuit. This protects the con-
troller from damage due to overheating. In extreme conditions
(such as repetitive hill climbing) the circuit will decrease the power
to your motors. This allows the chair to operate at a reduced
speed. When the controller cools, the chair will return to normal
speed.
D.C RCU T BREAKERS
1. Notes:
Your Quickie S-636 SC / S-636 MPC
has a battery box with a circuit
breaker.
• In the unlikely event of a short
circuit or heavy overload, all
power to your chair will be
shut off.
• To reset your chair, depress
the circuit breaker button (B)
on the front right side of the
battery box. A few minutes
wait is required before the circuit breaker will reset.
2. Repeated Shutdown:
If the chair continues to shut down after resetting, have it serviced
by a supplier.
E. JOYST CK ASSEMBLY
The joystick connects to a controller, which controls the chair’s
performance. The joystick assembly consists of the following parts:
1. Speed Control Knob (D):
Use the speed control knob to
adjust the maximum speed of your
chair. Turn it counter-clockwise to
reduce speed; turn it clockwise to
increase speed.
22..BBaatttteerryy CChhaarrggee
nnddiiccaattoorr ((BB))::
• Green lights indicate that bat-
teries are fully charged.
• Yellow lights indicate that bat-
teries need recharging.
• When the lights stay in the red band, the batteries must be
recharged.
3. On/Off Mode Switch (A)
The on/off mode switch is located on the rear face of the
joystick housing. It is a toggle switch. Turning the chair on or
off, is accomplished by pressing the switch downward. The
switch will automatically return to the center point. Alternate
locations exist for this switch. Please see your supplier in the
event that you wish to relocate or re-orient this switch.
4. Mode Switch (A)

• Push joystick either left or right to select one of the five drive
profiles. To select the actuator modes, push the mode select
switch twice.
• The drive profiles are indicated by the mode indicators (G)
and the actuators are indicated by the four actuator lights ( ).
• To exit drive or actuator mode select, simply push the
on/off/mode toggle up one or more times until the indicator
no longer flashes, or from the mode select, push the joystick
forward or reverse to begin driving.
WARN NG
1. Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop your chair
except in an emergency.
This will result in an abrupt stop, and may cause you to
fall.
2. To slow or stop your chair, return the joystick to neu-
tral.
5. Joystick (E):
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your chair. Turn
the chair on and move the joystick in the direction you want to go.
• Moving the joystick from the neutral (center) position disen-
gages the motor locks, allowing the chair to move.
• The chair will move faster the more you move the joystick
away
from neutral.
NOTE– If your speed becomes hard to manage, release the Joystick and the
chair will come to a complete stop.
• When you release the joystick it will return to neutral; the
chair will slow to a stop and the motor locks will reengage.
• We recommend that you switch the chair off if you stop for
any length of time. This will conserve battery power.
NOTE– Once the chair stops, switching the chair off will not affect the
motor locks.
6. Joystick Boot(F):
Make sure the boot is not torn or cracked (this could allow debris,
water or moisture to enter). If the boot is torn or cracked, replace
it as soon as you can.
7. Remote Switch Jacks (optional– not shown):
Two 1/8” mono jacks are optional to provide remote switch control of the
on/off power function and the mode select function. Any of the single
switches offered by Sunrise Medical can be used to connect to either or
both of these jacks (except the single zero touch switch).
F. MOTOR LOCKS
Disconnect the motor locks when you need to manually push the
chair. (For example, in an emergency, or if batteries fail).
WARN NG
1. Do not disengage motor locks unless power to the
chair is off.
2. Be aware that the chair will not have brakes in the
free-wheel position.
3. ake sure that the person pushing the chair has full
control when motor locks are disengaged.

XI . BAT TERIES
A. NTRODUCT ON
1. Notes:
• Batteries supply the power for your chair. They contain a finite amount of energy and
have limits on how long they can store and supply energy.
• You can charge batteries only a certain number of times before they will fail and no
longer hold a charge.
• For answers to questions about batteries, consult your supplier.
2. Use Proper Batteries:
Your chair operates on two 12 volt batteries.
• They should be Gp 24 size with a minimum of 40 ampere hour rating. Only deep cycle
sealed case construction batteries should be used in this device.
• When you buy a replacement, insist on a deep cycle sealed case type. Do not use a
car starter battery.
3. Breaking n:
• A battery requires “breaking-in” for the first 6 to 12 charges. It will not accept a full
charge for this period.
• It is best to limit the length of your trips until you break the batteries in and you know
the range of your chair.
44.. DDiisscchhaarrggeedd BBaatttteerriieess::
•Never allow a battery to completely discharge. If you operate your wheelchair until it has
almost stopped, you will greatly reduce the life of your batteries.
•Never let a battery sit in a discharged condition. Give unused or stored batteries a full
charge once per month.
•Always fully charge the batteries. Avoid “topping Off” with frequent charges.
WARN NG
Never connect a life support or auxiliary device to a wheelchair battery. The
electrical system may fail, and result in severe injury to or death of rider.
B. BATTERY CHARGER
A battery charger produces a direct current (DC). When applied to a discharged battery, this
reverses the chemical reaction that led to its discharge.
1. Charge Rate. How fast a battery will charge depends on:
• Its electrical capacity; state of charge; electrolyte temperature, and; internal condition.
• The DC output of the charger. (The charge rate will vary if the alternating current (AC)
supply is higher or lower than 110 volts).
22..CCaauuttiioonn —— TToo AAvvooiidd DDaammaaggee ttoo tthhee CChhaarrggeerr::
•Never place the charger on top of a battery during charging. (Gases from the battery
can damage the charger and may lead to an explosion or fire).
•Never place a battery on top of the charger.
•Never expose charger to rain or snow.
•Never unplug charger by pulling on the electrical cord. This will damage the cord.
• Never open a charger or attempt to repair it yourself. Return charger to Sunrise or
have repairs made only by a qualified person.
• Keep cord out of the way, where it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or damaged.
3. Caution — To Avoid Damage to the Battery:
• Make sure you use the correct setting for sealed (gel) batteries (located on the off-
board charger).
•Never charge a frozen battery. A fully charged battery will rarely freeze, but the fluid
in a discharged battery can freeze at 16 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 9 degrees
Centigrade). If you suspect a battery is frozen, thaw it before charging.
WARN NG
Lead acid batteries generate explosive gas while charging. Completely read and
follow all warnings about the batteries in this user instruction manual and any
labels applied to the product. Failure to do so could result in fire, explosion,
injury and/or death.
