1 Your Wheelchair
We at Sunrise Medical want you to get the best out of your
Salsa wheelchair. This Owner’s Manual will familiarise you with
the chair and its features. It contains hints on everyday usage
and general care in addition to information on the high quality
standards which we adhere to and details about the guarantee.
Your wheelchair should be delivered fully assembled for your
use; there are a wide range of components and adjustments
available on the Salsa. For further information about these you
should contact your Sunrise Medical authorised dealer.
Your wheelchair will reach you in excellent condition having
been individually inspected before leaving our factory. Following
the guidelines for maintenance and cleaning your wheelchair
will maintain its first class condition and give you complete
satisfaction.
The Salsa has been designed for use by an individual on a daily
basis. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use (Class B). It
is only intended for use as a pavement vehicle, but may also be
used when crossing between pavements.
This vehicle has been designed for a single occupant of limited
mobility up to the weight of 140Kg (dependent on options
chosen for your chair) who has the cognitive, physical and visual
ability to control the vehicle safely on a maximum slope of 16%
(9°). If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of the power
chair, contact your local Sunrise Medical approved supplier for
clarification, prior to commencing use.
It is very important to read the relevant section of the owner’s
manual when making any minor adjustments. Contact your
local Sunrise Medical authorised dealer for more complex
adjustments.
