Always make sure that you can be seen clearly, especially if you intend using your wheelchair in poor light.
4.8 Sharp turns 4.11 Weight limit DANGER! DANGER! Full speed turns should not be attempted. If you need to turn sharply you must reduce your speed with the joystick or speed setting. This is particularly important when travelling across or down a slope. Disregarding this advice could lead to your wheelchair tipping over. 4.9 Batteries Your wheelchair is supplied as standard from Sunrise Medical with maintenance-free batteries. These only require regular charging.
4.13 Wheelchair range The range of your wheelchair can be affected by many factors such as user weight, terrain, ambient temperature, use of powered options and battery condition. NOTE: The stated range in the sales literature should be seen as the theoretical maximum (ISO 7176; Part 4) and may not be attained by every user (also see section 12.8 in this manual).
4.20 Use on a slope Your wheelchair has been designed and tested to allow its use on slopes or gradients of up to 10° (18%) in RWD/ MWD configuration and 6° (11%) in FWD conFiguration. However, you have the option of adjusting your seating position with either a lift, tilt or recline or a combination of these options. WARNING!

5.0 Preparing your wheelchair for use 5.1 Handling the wheelchair NOTE: To dismantle the chair for transport or storage no tools are required. The list of components when dismantled: (components below are related to the maximum detachable parts and dependent on the type of seating system chosen): • 1 pair of armrests • 1 pair of leg rests, or single centre mount leg rest with flip-up footplate • 1 backrest (Jay/ Jay Comfort) • 1 drive unit with seat frame. 5.
5.5 Drive wheel suspension Jive F/R The Jive F/R has an effective and adjustable drive wheel suspension system as a standard feature. To match your requirements on drive comfort, the tension of the springs at the damper can be adjusted. Turning the aluminium ring on the bottom of the spring downwards will soften your ride, adjusting the aluminium ring in a higher position will harden it. This option is to be used to match the different user weights to the suspension system. (Fig. 5.7).
5.7.4 Adjusting armrest height Please refer to your appropriate armrest type. Fig.5.13 Fig.5.14 Fig.5.15 Fig.5.16 Single Post Arm Rest (Comfort, Rehab and Recaro Seat): The height adjustment of the armrests is made via the threaded s crews at the forward edge of the stanchion tube . To adjust the height, (Fig. 5.11) loosen the adjusting screws (3.0 mm Allen Key), move the armrest to the desir ed position and tighten the screw. Reclining arm rest, (Fig.5.
5.8.4 Manual, elevating leg rest, (ELR, Fig.5.21). Fig.5.21 Fig.5.22 To elevate: Pull the leg rest upwards and stop at the desired height. The leg rest will automatically lock in the chosen position. To lower: Push the release lever slowly forward. The leg rest will lower the angle. As soon as you release the lever, the leg rest will be locked in the current position, (Fig.5.21). Fig.5.
5.8.6 Powered centre mount leg rest, (PCML). WARNING! There is an option on the programme of the leg rest that allows you to send the footrest to the floor to allow for easier mounting and dismounting for the user. Be aware that when powered the area around and underneath the footplate needs to be clear of all personal items and bodily extremities to prevent injury or damage to property.
6.3 Changing seat height There are four adjustable seat posts, one at each corner of the drive base, (Fig. 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 FWR/RWD, Fig.6.6 MWD). The posts are held in place by bolts inserted through adjustment holes. To adjust the seat height: • Remove the bolts from the posts using two 13 mm spanners. • Move the posts to the desired position. • Replace the bolts into the new holes in the posts. • Tighten the bolts.
6.7 Manual adjustable backrest (manual recline) For depth adjustment see section 6.2. To recline the backrest angle, pull the lever at the top of the backrest which operates the gas strut. Hold the lever and adjust the back angle required. If you release the lever, the angle will stay in the adjusted position. If you want to adjust the backrest into the upright position, you might need to support the upward motion (Fig. 6.8). 6.
CAUTION! Once the back is fully reclined or raised do not hold the joystick in its operating position as this could damage the actuator. R-net Control Please refer to your R-net Owner’s Manual for details. WARNING! • • • Lowering the backrest by an angle of greater than 15° from vertical alters the balance of your wheelchair. Never exceed 15° of recline when on any gradient or when driving your wheelchair.
7.0 VR2 Control System (Fig.7.1): Your wheelchair is controlled by the Joystick. This regulates the power & speed of the wheelchair. The Joystick determines the speed and direction of the wheelchair. 7.1 On/Off button: The On/Off button applies power to the control system electronics, which in turn supply power to the wheelchair’s motors. WARNING! Do not use the on/off button to stop the wheelchair unless there is an emergency. (If you do you may shorten the life of the wheelchair drive components).
7.4 Operating the control joystick: When engaging the main On/Off button, allow a few seconds prior to moving the joystick. This allows the system to self check. If you move the joystick too soon, the battery level indicator display will not illuminate until the joystick is released. If the joystick is off centre at the time of switching on, after 5 seconds a system error will occur. Whilst this is not harmful to your wheelchair, you will need to switch off and then back on to clear the system.
7.10 VR2-L There are common controls between the VR2 and the VR2-L control systems where a control differs it will be described below. All common controls can be found on the previous page. Lights and indicators: The wheelchair can be equipped with lights and indicators. Where lights are not factory fitted, they may be fitted as an optional extra by an approved Sunrise Medical authorised dealer.
7.11 Charging and programming socket: (Fig.12.8-12.10) WARNING! This socket should only be used for programming and charging the wheelchair. This socket should not be used as a power supply for any other device. Connection of other electrical devices may damage the control system or affect the EMC performance of the wheelchair. See Section 12.0 about charging.
7.15 Maximum speed button and indicator: This shows the maximum speed setting for the wheelchair when the dual attendant system has control. There are five settings - setting 1 is the slowest speed and setting 5 is the highest speed. The speed setting is changed with the speed button, (Fig.7.4). If the control system is programmed for drive profile operation, then the dual attendant system speed adjuster will only adjust the speed within the selected profile.
Self help guide, (Fig.8.1). If a system trip occurs you can find out what has happened by counting the number of LED’s on the battery gauge that are flashing. Go to the number on the list which matches the number of flashing bars and follow the instructions. Slow or sluggish movement - If the wheelchair does not travel at full speed or does not respond quickly enough and the battery condition is good, check the maximum speed setting.
9.0 R-net Control System 9.1 R-net control system information An alternative control system called R-net is available for the wheelchair. The R-net system has extended options and is suitable for individuals with complex needs or when there is a preference for screen based menu options and information displays. The R-net control system offers simple, effective solutions to many situations, thereby enhancing the lifestyle and independence of the user.
