Preparing your wheelchair for use
Power-base assembly
Your Sunrise electric wheelchair
has been designed with a unique
capability - the front and rear
sections of the powerbase will
separate, allowing for greater ease
when transporting your chair
(Fig.1). To “re-dock” the two halves
tilt the rear unit backwards resting
unit on the small anti-tip wheels
(Fig.1). Ensure that the drive lever
is engaged, this will prevent the
power base from moving. Offer the
front sub frame studs “A” (Fig.1a) to
the lower slots in the rear sub
frame brackets and locate. The
two halves now form an arch, push
the front of the rear unit down
(Fig.1b) to couple both units
together. Secure the coupling by
locking over the seat location bar to
engage studs “B” (Fig.1c).
If the above procedures have been
performed correctly, the front and
rear sections of the wheelchair
should now be completely secure.
Test by lifting the seat location bar
(Fig.1a) without any downward
movement, which would cause the
two section to part (Fig.1c). If the
chair is correctly ‘Docked’, the pins
will remain firmly in their slots. Re-
dock if not.
The term “de-dock” is used to
describe the separation of the front
and rear sub frames. To de-dock
push seat location bar towards front
sub frame and lift in one
movement.
