English I V. N o t i c e – R e a d B e f o r e U s e IV. NOTICE– READ BEFORE USE A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS Sunrise provides a choice of many power wheelchair styles, sizes and adjustments to meet the needs of the rider. However, final selection of a wheelchair rests solely with you and your health care professional. Choosing the best chair for you depends on such things as: 1. Your size, disability, strength, balance and coordination. 2. Your intended use, and your level of activity.
V. E M I ( E l e c t r o m a g n e t i c I n t e r f e r e n c e ) English 7 V. EMI (ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE) Heed all warnings to reduce the risk of unintended brake release or chair movement: 1. Beware of the danger from hand-held transceivers. (A “transceiver” is a device that both sends and receives radio wave signals). Never turn on or use a handheld transceiver while power to your chair is on. Use extra care if you believe that such a device may be in use near your chair. 2.
English V. E M I ( E l e c t r o m a g n e t i c I n t e r f e r e n c e ) D. DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get closer to the source. For this reason, EMI from hand-held devices is of special concern. (See C.1 above) A person using one of these devices can bring high levels of EM energy very close to your chair without you knowing it. E. IMMUNITY LEVEL 1. The level of EM energy is measured in volts per meter (V/m).
V I . G e n e r a l Wa r n i n g s English 9 VI. GENERAL WARNINGS Heed all warnings in this section. If you fail to do so a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to you or others. A. NOTICE TO RIDER 1. Before using this chair, you should be trained in its safe use by your health care professional. 2. Every wheelchair is different. Take the time to learn the feel of this chair before you begin riding. 3.
English E. EMI Read Section V to learn about EMI. To reduce the risk of unintended brake release or chair movement: 1. Never turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while power to your chair is on. Use extra care if you believe that such a device may be in use near your chair. 2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid coming close to them. 3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn your chair off as soon as it is safe. F. SAFETY CHECK-LIST Before each use of this chair: 1.
V I . G e n e r a l Wa r n i n g s English 11 2. Proceed slowly and use extra care if you must operate your chair on a wet or slick surface. • Do so only if you are sure it is safe. • Stop if one or both main wheels lose traction. If this occurs, you may lose control of your chair or fall. • Never operate your chair on a slope or ramp if there is snow, ice, water or oil film present. • When in doubt, have someone help you. 3. When not in use, keep your chair in a clean, dry place.
English To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over: 1. Consult your supplier for information on modifications authorized by Sunrise before you modify or adjust this chair. NOTE– You may need to make additional changes to correct the center of balance. 2. Use extreme care until you know the balance points of this chair and how to avoid a fall or tip-over. N. TRANSFERS It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance and agility.
V I . G e n e r a l Wa r n i n g s English 13 3. Turn off all power to your chair. If you fail to do so, you may touch the joystick and cause your chair to move when you do not expect it. 4. Firmly grasp an armrest with one hand. This will help to prevent a fall if the chair tips. P. DRESSING OR CHANGING CLOTHES Be aware that your weight will shift if you dress or change clothes while seated in this chair. To make the chair more stable, rotate the front casters until they are forward. Q.
English V I . G e n e r a l Wa r n i n g s T. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FALL, TIP-OVER OR LOSS OF CONTROL 1. Never use your chair on a slope unless you are sure you can do so without losing traction. 2. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can. • Do not “cut the corner” on a slope or ramp. • Do not turn or change direction on a slope. 3. Always stay in the center of the ramp. Make sure ramp is wide enough that you are not at risk that a wheel may roll off the side. 4.
V I . G e n e r a l Wa r n i n g s English 15 2. To prevent a fall or tip-over, use wheelchair access ramps or have someone help you. 3. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at your own risk and use extreme care. • Go as straight up or straight down as you can. Never turn or climb or descend at an angle as a fall or tip-over is likely. • Proceed slowly, at a steady speed. 4. Avoid driving along curb edges and drop-offs. A minimum distance from the edge of 18” is recommended. X.
