III. YOUR CHAIR AND ITS PARTS
IV. NOTICE– READ BEFORE USE
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 instruc-
tions. Review the warnings often, until they are second nature to
you.

ENGLISH
V. GENERAL WARNINGS
A.WEIGHT LIMIT
WARNING
NEVER exceed the weight limit of 250 pounds for the
Quickie IRIS, 350 pounds for heavy duty option, or 165
pounds for the Zippie IRIS, 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
WARNING
NEVER use this chair for weight training if total weight
(rider plus equipment) exceeds 250 pounds for Quickie
IRIS, 350 pounds for heavy duty option, or 165 pounds
for Zippie IRIS. 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
WARNING
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
WARNING
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. et 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.
E. SAFETY CHECKLIST
WARNING
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 correct 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 & AD USTMENTS
WARNING
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, or contact Sunrise Medical.
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
WARNING
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.
H.TERRAIN
WARNING
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 fasten-
ers 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
WARNING
In most states, wheelchairs are not legal for use on pub-
lic 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.

VI. WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
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.
e. Never allow the presence of a second occupant climbing
or standing on a component 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.
B. DRESSING OR CHANGING CLOTHES
WARNING
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 possi-
ble. 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.
A.CENTER OF GRAVITY
WARNING
The point where this chair will tip forward, back, or to
the side depends on its center of gravity 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.
b. The position of the carriage.
2. The Center Of ravity Is Also Affected By:
a. A change in the set-up of your chair, including:
• The seat height and seat angle.
• Backrest angle.
b. A change in your body position, posture or weight distri-
bution.
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.
. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
As indicated on the front cover of this user manual, identify
whether your chair has been manufactured with the Transit Option
installed.
If your chair is not equipped with the Transit Option:
WARNING
If your chair is not equipped with Transit Option, this
wheelchair does not meet federal standards for motor
vehicle seating.
1. NEVER let anyone sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle.
2. ALWAYS secure the rider with proper motor vehicle
restraints. 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 vehi-
cle accident.
If your chair is equipped with the Transit Option:
See section VIII, Part N: Transit Option and section VII, Part :
Transit Use.
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.
K. WHEN YOU NEED HELP
WARNING
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.
V. GENERAL WARNINGS
ENGLISH
6
113373 Rev. C

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 reach-
ing 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.
F. MOVING BACKWARD
WARNING
Use extra care when you move your chair backward.
Your chair is most stable when you propel yourself for-
ward. 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 & SIDEHILLS
WARNING
Riding on a slope, which includes a ramp or sidehill, 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 con-
trol 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 depres-
sion). 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 sidehill.
C. WHEELIES
Because of the ability to adjust the center of gravity and
changes in center of gravity that will result from operating
the tilt in space feature of this chair, as a user, do not per-
form wheelies in the IRIS wheelchair.
WARNING
Doing a “wheelie” means: balancing on the rear wheels of
your chair, while the front casters are in the air. It is dan-
gerous to do a "wheelie" as a fall or tip-over may occur.
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
WARNING
Obstacles and road hazards (such as potholes and bro-
ken 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 door-
jamb) 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.
E. REACHING OR LEANING
WARNING
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.
VI. WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
ENGLISH
7113373 Rev. C

113373 Rev. C 8
ENGLISH VI. WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
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.
I. CURBS & STEPS
WARNING
1. Each person who helps you should read and follow the warn-
ings “For Safe Use” (Section VII) and “For Attendants”
(Section V, Part K).
2. Do not try to climb or descend a curb or step alone.
3. Unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the way, so they
do not interfere.
4. Do not try to climb a high curb or step UNLESS you have help.
Doing so may cause your chair to exceed its balance point and
tip over.
5. o straight up and straight down a curb or step. If you climb
or descend at an angle, a fall or tip-over is likely.
6. Be aware that the impact of dropping down from a curb or
step can damage your chair or loosen fasteners.
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.
. STAIRS
WARNING
1. NEVER use this chair on stairs UNLESS you have someone
to help you. Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.
2. Persons who help you should read and follow the warnings
“For Attendants” (Section V, Part K), and “For Safe Use”
(Section VII).
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.
K. ESCALATORS
WARNING
NEVER use this chair on an escalator, even with an
attendant. If you do, a fall or tip-over is likely.
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. 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.
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. uardrails: 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: Ramps must be STURDY. You may need bracing
so ramps do not “bow” when you ride on them.

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
WARNING
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.

inflated. Check weekly for proper inflation level, as listed on
the tire sidewall.
2. Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that
side to slip and allow the wheel to turn when you do not
expect it.
3. Low pressure in any of the tires may cause the chair to veer
to one side and result in a loss of control.
4. Over-inflated tires may burst.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of

injury to or death of the rider.
1. Make sure the rider can not slide down in the wheelchair seat.
If this occurs, the rider may suffer chest compression or suffo-
cate due to pressure from the belts.
2. The belts must be snug, but must not be so tight that they
interfere with breathing. You should be able to slide your
open hand, flat, between the belt and the rider.
3. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep the rider
from sliding down in the seat. Consult with the rider’s doc-
tor, nurse or therapist to find out if the rider needs such a
device.
4. Use positioning belts only with a rider who can cooperate.
Make sure the rider can easily remove the belts in an emer-
gency.

5. Weight Distribution
Weight distribution between the front and rear wheels is primarily adjusted by moving the
rear axles forward or rearward on the frame.
Moving the axles REARWARD provides better forward and rearward tipping stability.
Moving the axles FORWARD shifts more of the rider’s weight onto the REAR wheels, provid-
ing the following benefits: the front end of the wheelchair becomes lighter, thus reducing the
turning effort, and with a shorter wheelbase the turning radius is reduced.
