Advice to client
Do not rely on the lap belt only when the wheelchair
and occupant are transported in a vehicle, use the
separate occupant lap and diagonal restraints
provided in the vehicle.
Before use we recommend that the lap belt be checked
to ensure that it is adjusted correctly, free from any
obstruction or adverse wear and that the buckle
engages securely.
Failure to make sure that the lap belt is secure and
adjusted prior to use could cause serious injury to the
user. e.g. too loose a strap may allow the user to slip
down in the chair and risk suffocation.
Maintenance:
Check lap belt and securing components at regular intervals for any
sign of fraying or damage. Replace if necessary.
Clean the lap belt with warm soapy water and allow it to dry.
NOTE:
The lap belt should be adjusted to suit the end user as detailed
above
Sunrise Medical also recommend that the length and fit of the belt is
checked on a regular basis to reduce the risk of the end user
inadvertently re-adjusting the belt to an excessive length
If in doubt about the use and operation of the seat belt then ask
your healthcare professional, wheelchair dealer, carer or
attendant for assistance.
Options – Crutch holder
Crutch holder
This device permits crutches to be
transported directly on a wheelchair. It has
a Velcro loop to fasten crutches or other
aids (Fig. 43).
CAUTION:
Never try to use or even remove the
crutches or other aids while moving.

Options - Therapy table

Therapy table
The tray provides a flat surface for
most activities. Before using a tray,
it first has to be adjusted to the
width of the seat by an authorised
dealer. The user must be sitting in
the wheelchair during this
adjustment (Fig. 44).

Tyres and mounting

Tyres and mounting
Solid tyres are standard.
With pneumatic tyres make sure that you maintain the correct tyre
pressure, as this can have an effect on wheelchair performance. If
the tyre pressure is too low, rolling resistance will increase, requiring
more effort to move the chair forward. Low tyre pressure also has a
negative impact on manoeuvrability. If the tyre pressure is too high,
the tyre could burst. The correct pressure for a given tyre is printed
on the surface of the tyre itself.
Tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle tyre.
Before installing a new inner tube, you should always make sure
that the base of the rim and the interior of the tyre are free of foreign
objects. Check the pressure after mounting or repairing a tyre. It is
critical to your safety and to the wheelchair's performance that
regulation air pressure be maintained and that tyres be in good
condition.

Maintenance and care

Maintenance
• Check the tyre pressure every 4 weeks. Check all tyres for wear
and damage.
• Check the brakes approximately every 4 weeks to make sure that
they are working properly and are easy to use.
• Change tyres as you would an ordinary bicycle tyre.
• All of the joints that are critical to using your wheelchair safely are
self-locking nuts. Please check every three months to make sure
that all bolts are secure (see the section on torque). Safety nuts
should only be used once and should be replaced after use.
• Please use only mild household cleansers when your wheelchair
is dirty. Use only soap and water when cleaning the seat
upholstery and lap belt.
• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it after use.
• A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied to quick-
release axles approximately every 8 weeks. Depending on the
frequency and type of use, we recommend taking your wheelchair
to your authorised dealer every 6 months to have it inspected by
trained personnel.
CAUTION:
Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage the
bearings of the front and rear wheels. Clean the wheelchair
thoroughly after exposure.
The following parts can be removed and sent to the manufacturer /
dealer for repair:
• Rear wheels, Armrest, Hanger, Anti - tips
These components are available as spares. More details can be
found in the parts manual.
Hygiene when being reused:
When the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared carefully, and
wiped and treated with spray disinfectant on all surfaces which could
come into contact with the user.
In doing this, you must use a liquid for alcoholic quick disinfection for
medical products and medical inventory when you require a quick
effect.
Please pay attention to the manufacturer`s instructions of the disin-
fectant you are using.
In general, a safe disinfectant cannot be guaranteed on seams. We
therefore recommend, that you properly dispose of seat and back
slings in the case of microbacterial contamination with active agents
according to § 6 infection protection law.
