IV. NOTICE—READ BEFORE USE V. GENERAL WARNINGS
A. WEIGHT LIMIT
NEVER exceed the weight limit of 250 pounds (113.6 kilograms), for combined
weight of rider and items carried. If you do exceed the limit, damage to your
chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the
rider or others.
B. WEIGHT TRAINING
NEVER use this chair for weight training if total weight (rider plus equip-
ment) exceeds 250 pounds. If you do exceed the limit, damage to your chair,
a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the
rider or others.
C. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CHAIR
Every wheelchair is different.Take the time to learn the feel of this chair
before you begin riding. Start slowly, with easy, smooth strokes. If you are used
to a different chair, you may use too much force and tip over. If you use too
much force, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur
and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
D. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT
1. BEFORE riding, you should be trained in the safe use of this chair by your
health care advisor.
2. Practice bending, reaching and transfers until you know the limit of your
ability. Have someone help you until you know what can cause a fall or
tip-over and how to avoid doing so.
3. Be aware that you must develop your own methods for safe use best
suited to your level of function and ability.
4. NEVER try a new maneuver on your own until you are sure you can
do it safely.
5. Get to know the areas where you plan to use your chair. Look for
hazards and learn how to avoid them.
6. Use anti-tip tubes unless you are a skilled rider of this chair and are sure
you are not at risk to tip over.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
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 rests 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 three 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.
2. 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
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.

V. GENERAL WARNINGS
H. TERRAIN
1. Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as concrete,
asphalt and indoor floors and carpeting.
2. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil or over rough terrain.
This may damage wheels or axles, or loosen fasteners of your chair.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
I. STREET USE
In most states, wheelchairs 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 lighting is poor, use reflective tape on your chair
and clothing.
2. Due to your low position, it may be hard for drivers to see you. Make eye
contact with drivers before you go forward.When in doubt, yield until you are
sure it is safe.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
J. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
Quickie wheelchairs do not meet federal standards for motor vehicle seating.
1. NEVER let anyone sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle.
a. ALWAYS move the rider to an approved vehicle seat.
b. ALWAYS secure the rider with proper motor vehicle restraints.
2. In an accident or sudden stop the rider may be thrown from the chair.
Wheelchair seat belts will not prevent this, and further injury may result
from the belts or straps.
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.
5. Do not use any chair that has been involved in a motor vehicle accident.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
E. SAFETY CHECKLIST
Before Each Use Of Your Chair:
1. Make sure the chair rolls easily and that all parts work 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).
2. Repair any problem.Your authorized supplier can help you find and cor-
rect the problem.
3. Check to see that both quick-release rear axles are locked.When locked,
the axle button will “pop out” fully. If not locked, the wheel may come off
and cause you to fall.
4. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place.
Note: See “Anti-Tip Tubes” (Section VIII) for times you should not use them.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss
of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
F. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS
1. If you modify or adjust this chair, it may increase the risk of a tip-over UNLESS
you make other changes as well.
2. Consult your authorized supplier BEFORE you modify or adjust your chair.
3. We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change, and
are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
4. Unauthorized modifications or use of parts not supplied or approved by Sunrise
may change the chair structure.This will void the warranty and may cause a
safety hazard.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
G. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
1. Use extra care if you must ride your chair on a wet or slick surface. If you are
in doubt, ask for help.
2. Contact with water or excess moisture may cause your chair to rust or
corrode.This could cause your chair to fail.
a. Do not use your chair in a shower, pool or other body of water. The chair
tubing and parts are not water-tight and may rust or corrode from the inside.
b. Avoid excess moisture (for example, do not leave your chair in a damp
bathroom while taking a shower).
c. Dry your chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use water to
clean it.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
V. GENERAL WARNINGS

V. GENERAL WARNINGS
K. WHEN YOU NEED HELP
For The Rider:
Make sure that each person who helps you reads and follows all warnings and
instructions that apply.
For Attendants:
1. Work with the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist to learn safe methods
best suited to your abilities and those of the rider.
2. 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. Make sure the chair has push handles.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.
4. 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.
5. Remind the rider to lean back when you tilt the chair backward.
6. When you descend a curb or single step, slowly lower the chair in one
easy movement. Do not let the chair drop the last few inches to the
ground.This may damage the chair or injure the rider.
7. To avoid tripping, unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the way.
ALWAYS lock the rear wheels and lock anti-tip tubes in place if you
must leave the rider alone, even for a moment.This will reduce the risk
of a tip over or loss of control of the chair.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss
of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
VI. WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
A. CENTER OF BALANCE
The point where this chair will tip forward, back, or to the side depends on its
center of balance and stability. How your chair is set up, the options you select
and the changes you make may affect the risk of a fall or tip-over.
1. The Most Important Adjustments Are:
a. The position of the rear wheels.The more you move the rear wheels
forward, the more likely your chair will tip over backward.
2. The Center Of Balance Is Also Affected By:
a. A change in the set-up of your chair, including:
• The distance between the rear wheels.
• The amount of rear wheel camber.
• The seat height and seat angle.
• Backrest angle.
b. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution.
c. Riding your chair on a ramp or slope.
d. The use of a back pack or other options, and the amount of added weight.
3. To Reduce The Risk Of An Accident:
a. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out what axle and
caster position is best for you.
b. Consult your authorized supplier BEFORE you modify or adjust this
chair. Be aware that you may need to make other changes to correct
the center of balance.
c. Have someone help you until you know the balance points of your
chair and how to avoid a tip-over.
d. Use anti-tip tubes.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss
of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
B. DRESSING OR CHANGING CLOTHES
Your weight may shift if you dress or change clothes while seated in this chair.
To reduce the risk of a fall or tip-over:
1. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
This makes the chair more stable.
2. Lock anti-tip tubes in place. (If your chair does not have anti-tip tubes,
back it up against a wall and lock both rear wheels).
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

930379 Rev. A 930379 Rev. A
VI. WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
C. WHEELIES
Doing a “wheelie” means: balancing on the rear wheels of your chair, while
the front casters are in the air. It is dangerous to do a "wheelie" as a fall or
tip-over may occur. However, if you do it safely, a “wheelie” can help you
overcome curbs and obstacles.
1. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out if you are a good
candidate to learn to do a “wheelie.”
2. Do not attempt a “wheelie” UNLESS you are a skilled rider of this chair,
or you have help.
Note: See p. 19 for steps to learn to do a “wheelie.”
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
D. OBSTACLES
Obstacles and road hazards (such as potholes and broken pavement) can
damage your chair and may cause a fall, tip-over or loss of control.
To avoid these risks:
1. Keep a lookout for danger – scan the area well ahead of your chair
as you ride.
2. Make sure the floor areas where you live and work are level and
free of obstacles.
3. Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.
4. Install a ramp at entry or exit doors. Make sure there is not a drop off at
the bottom of the ramp.
5. To Help Correct Your Center Of Balance:
a. Lean your upper body FORWARD slightly as you go UP over an obstacle.
b. Press your upper body BACKWARD as you go DOWN from a higher
to a lower level.
6. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place before you go UP
over an obstacle.
7. Keep both of your hands on the handrims as you go over an obstacle.
8. Never push or pull on an object (such as furniture or a doorjamb) to
propel your chair.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
VI. WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
E. REACHING OR LEANING
If you reach or lean it will affect the center of balance of your chair.This may
cause you to fall or tip over.When in doubt, ask for help or use a device to
extend your reach.
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 the chair tips).
4. NEVER reach or lean to the rear unless your chair has anti-tip tubes
locked in place.
5. DO NOT reach or lean over the top of the seat back.This may damage
one or both backrest tubes and cause you to fall.
6. If You Must Reach Or Lean:
a. Do not lock the rear wheels.This creates a tip point and makes a fall
or tip-over more likely.
b. Do not put pressure on the footrests.
Note: Leaning forward puts pressure on the footrests and may cause the chair to tip if
you lean too far.
c. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you wish to reach.
d. Do not try to pick up an object from the floor by reaching down
between your knees.You are less likely to tip if you reach to the side
of your chair.
e. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.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.
f. Firmly grasp a rear wheel or an armrest with one hand.This will help
to prevent a fall if the chair tips.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control
may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

16 17
930379 Rev. A 930379 Rev. A
VI. WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
F. MOVING BACKWARD
Use extra care when you move your chair backward.Your chair is most stable
when you propel yourself forward.You may lose control or tip over if one of
the rear wheels hits an object and stops rolling.
1. Propel your chair slowly and smoothly.
2. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, make sure to lock them in place.
3. Stop often and check to be sure your path is clear.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
G. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDE HILLS
Riding on a slope, which includes a ramp or side hill, will change the center of
balance of your chair.Your chair is less stable when it is at an angle.Anti-tip tubes
may not prevent a fall or tip-over.
1. Do not use your chair on a slope steeper than 10%. (A 10% slope means: one
foot in elevation for every ten feet of slope length.)
2. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can. (Do not “cut the
corner” on a slope or ramp.)
3. Do not turn or change direction on a slope.
4. Always stay in the CENTER of the ramp. Make sure ramp is wide enough that
you are not at risk that a wheel may fall over the edge.
5. Do not stop on a steep slope. If you stop, you may lose control of your chair.
6. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair.This is likely
to cause your chair to veer out of control.
7. Beware Of:
a. Wet or slippery surfaces.
b. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression).These may
cause a fall or tip-over.
c. 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.
8. To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over:
a. Lean or press your body UPHILL.This will help adjust for the change in the
center of balance caused by the slope or side hill.
b. Keep pressure on the handrims to control your speed on a down slope.
If you go too fast you may lose control.
c. Ask for help any time you are in doubt.
VI. WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
9. Ramps At Home & Work - For your safety, ramps at home and work must
meet all legal requirements for your area.We recommend:
a. Width. At least four feet wide.
b. Guardrails.To reduce the risk of a fall, sides of ramp must have guardrails
(or raised borders at least three inches high).
c. Slope. Not more than a 10% grade.
d. Surface. Flat and even, with a thin carpet or other non-skid material.
(Make sure there is no lip, bump or depression.)
e. Bracing. Ramp must be STURDY.You may need bracing so ramp does not
“bow” when you ride on it.
f. Avoid A Drop Off.You may need a section at the top or bottom to smooth
out the transition.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
H. TRANSFER
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 wheelchair seat
is not below you.To Avoid A Fall:
1. Work with your health care advisor to learn safe methods.
a. Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself during
a transfer.
b. Have someone help you until you know how to do a safe transfer on
your own.
2. Lock the rear wheels before you transfer.This keeps the rear wheels
from rolling.
Note: This will NOT keep your chair from sliding away from you or tipping.
3. Make sure to keep pneumatic tires properly inflated. Low tire pressure
may allow the rear wheel locks to slip.
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. If you can, remove or swing footrests out of the way.
a. Make sure your feet do not catch in the space between the footrests.
b. Avoid putting weight on the footrests as this may cause the chair to tip.
7. Make sure armrests are out of the way and do not interfere.
8. Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can.This will reduce the
risk that the chair will tip or move away from you.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

VI. WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
I. CURBS & STEPS
1. Each person who helps you should read and follow the warnings
“For Safe Use” (Section VII).
2. Do not try to climb or descend a curb or step alone UNLESS you
are a skilled rider of this chair and:
a. You can safely do a “wheelie”; and
b. You are sure you have the strength and balance to do so.
3. Unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the way, so they do
not interfere.

E. SEAT SLING
1. Adjustment
Remove the screws retaining the left side
seat sling. Readjust VELCRO®-style mate-
rial to increase the tension in the seat
sling. Replace screws. If there is any diffi-
culty in reattaching the screws, try using a
probe to help line up the holes.
F. CUSHION (Optional)
1. Installation
Place cushion on seat sling with VELCRO®
side down. The beveled edge of the cushion
should be in front. Press firmly into place.
G. REAR AXLE
The most important adjustment on your
Quickie wheelchair is the position of the
rear axle. The center of gravity, wheel
camber and wheelbase are all determined
by the axle adjustment.
Note: Use a torque setting of 100 in.-lbs.
when adjusting rear axle.
1. Center of Gravity
Moving the center of gravity to the front
will lighten the force required to turn the
chair. The further back the axle and
clamp, the more stable the chair becomes.
The center of gravity is adjusted by moving
the rear axle and clamp forward or back-
ward on the frame. Moving the axle and
clamp forward will increase your turning
speed and lighten the front end.
Important Note: Changing the center of gravity
increases the risk of a fall or tip over. Be very
careful to assure the chair will not tip over back-
wards when tilted.
X. SET UP & ADJUSTMENT
Note: Setting the wheelchair on a flat surface,
such as a workbench or table, helps make these
procedures easier.
Note on Torque Settings: A torque setting is
the optimum tightening which should be made on a
particular fastener. A Torque wrench which mea-
sures in. -lbs should be used when tightening fas-
teners on Quickie wheelchairs. Unless otherwise
noted, use a torque setting of 60. in.-lbs. when set-
ting-up this wheelchair.
A.WHEELS
Depress the quick-release button on the
axle. Slide into the axle sleeve until it locks.
B. ARMRESTS (Optional)

5. Rear Wheel Axle Sleeve Adjustment
Tight axle sleeves should be maintained for
proper performance of the wheelchair.
To adjust the axle you will need a 3/4”
wrench to turn the outside axle nuts. You
will also need a 1/2” wrench to lodge the
ball bearings, on the opposite end of the
axle, and prevent the axle from turning.
Turn the outside axle nut counter clock-
wise to tighten. There should only be zero
to ten thousandths of an inch (.010) of play.
H.CASTER
1. Angle Adjustment
Note: setting the wheelchair on a flat surface table
or a workbench, helps make these procedures easier.
Note on Torque Setting: A torque setting is the
optimum tightening which should be made on a
particular fastener. A torque wrench which mea-
sures in./lbs. Should be used when tightening fas-
teners on Quickie wheelchairs. Unless otherwise
noted, use a torque setting of 60 in.-lbs.When set-
ting up this wheelchair.
I. CASTER ASSEMBLY
I. Installation
a. Insert caster stem into caster housing
and place washers on stem.
b. Place nut on caster stem and tighten
until all play is removed; then loosen
(A) approximately 1/8 turn, while still
allowing for free rotation.
c. Place dust cover on caster housing and
tap into place with a soft mallet.
X. SET UP & ADJUSTMENT
2. Wheel Camber
The wheel camber adjustment provides
greater side-to-side stability due to the
increased width and angle of the wheelbase.
The wheel camber adjustment also allows
for quicker turning and greater access to
the top of the handrims.
Wheel camber is determined by the axle
tube. Tubes are available from your autho-
rized supplier in 0º, 4º and 8º angles.
3. Toe-in or Toe-out
Toe-in and Toe-out are terms that relate to
how well the rear wheels of the chair are
aligned.This will affect how well the chair
will roll. Drag or resistance occurs in a
wheelchair when the rear wheels are not
properly aligned.
Toe-in or toe-out can be slightly adjusted
by rotating both eccentric axle sleeves
equally, fore or aft.
4. Wheelbase Width Adjustment
Adjusting the wheelbase width allows the
rider the option to move the wheels clos-
er or further away from the hips. It also
compensates for camber adjustment and
gives the proper wheel spacing to maxi-
mize pushing efficiency.
Adjust the wheelbase width by loosening
the nut and repositioning the axle sleeve (A)
into its corresponding hole. Retighten nuts.

Tuning Your Shock
By matching the proper spring rate and damping adjustment RockShox Deluxe
shocks can be tuned to your weight.
When tuning suspension, always make one change at a time and write it down.
This takes patience, but allows you to understand how each change affects
your ride. Keeping a record lets you know what changes you have tried that
work and suggests what changes you might try.
Maintenance
RockShox Deluxe shock line are designed for high performance.To insure this,
we recommend keeping the shaft area, seal cover and bottom out bumper as
clean as possible. It is also recommended that the shock be overhauled by a
qualified mechanic with proper tools once a year.
Over time, the oil inside the shock will degrade and the shock will start to
loose damping.The shock will compress and rebound too fast when damping
loss is significant.This indicates the shock needs to be serviced.This service
should only be performed by a dealer.
General Upkeep
Washing Your Deluxe Shock: Clean your shock with mild soap and a
toothbrush. Keep the shaft and body eye bushings cleaned and greased.
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE A HIGH-POWERED WASHER FOR
CLEANING THE SHOCK!
Oil Change Intervals: We recommend that the oil be changed in your shock
annually. However, if you ride in extreme conditions the oil should be changed
more often than once a year.
Oil Leaks: One hundred percent serviceable. Contact you dealer or
RockShox direct to have your shock serviced.
