VIII. Warnings: Components & Options
21
A. ANTI-TIP TUBES (OPTIONAL)
Anti-tip tubes can help keep your chair from tipping over backward in most
normal conditions.
1. Sunrise Recommends Use Of Anti-Tip Tubes:
a. UNLESS you are a skilled rider of this chair and are sure you are not at risk to
tip over.
b. Each time you modify or adjust your chair. The change may make it easier to
tip backward. Use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change and are sure
you are not at risk to tip over.
2. When locked in place (in the “down” position) anti-tip tubes should be BETWEEN
1 1/2" to 2" (38 to 50 mm) off the ground.
a. If set too HIGH, they may not prevent a tip-over.
b. If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on obstacles you can expect in normal
use. If this occurs, you may fall or your chair may tip over.
3. Keep Anti-Tip Tubes Locked In Place UNLESS:
a. You have an attendant; or
b. You have to climb or descend a curb, or overcome an obstacle, and can safely
do so without them. At these times, make sure anti-tip tubes are up, out of
the way.
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. ARMRESTS
Armrests detach and will not bear the weight of this chair.
1. NEVER lift this chair by its armrests. They may come loose or break.
2. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.
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.
C. CUSHIONS & SLING SEATS
1. Quickie sling seats and standard foam cushions are not designed for the relief
of pressure.
2. If you suffer from pressure sores, or if you are at risk that they will occur, you may
need a special seat system or a device to control your posture. Consult your doc-
tor, nurse or therapist to find out if you need such a device for your well-being.
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.
