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.
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.
