A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS
Sunrise provides a choice of many wheelchair styles to meet the needs of the wheel-
chair 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 in which 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

read this entire manual and make sure to follow all instructions. Review the warnings
often, until they are second nature to you.
