• 5/16" Allen wrench

A. BATTERY REMOVAL
To remove batteries for transport or service:
1. Unlatch both the right and left battery box rear
cover retaining fasteners (A) by flipping back
both latches and rotating one half turn.
2. Lower battery box rear cover (B) until the cover
is fully extended and supported by the cables (C).
3. Disconnect the battery harness cables.
4. Slide out battery tray using handle.
5. Remove batteries (D).
Batteries may weigh up to 55 lbs. Care must be
taken to avoid injury when lifting.
B. SOLID SEAT BACK & LATERAL THORACIC SUPPORTS
1. To adjust the height of the lateral support
mount, loosen the adjustment screw until the
receiver slides freely on the back posts. Tighten
the adjustment screw when the proper height is
determined.

Assess client for proper positioning of the later-
al thoracic supports. Each support is indepen-
dent and may be adjusted for your client’s clini-

A. SOLID SEAT BACK
Do not use the Solid Seat back to push or lift the wheelchair. Improper use
may cause the back to unexpectedly detach from the wheelchair.
B. DRIVING
You should drive your chair with the tilt at the minimum angle. However, if nec-
essary the chair can be driven with the tilt at an angle of no greater than 15°.
C. TILTING
To prevent damage and personal injury, avoid tilting near objects such as
walls, tables or chairs.
To avoid injury, ensure other people, especially children, are clear of the system.
If using a swing-away abductor, be sure not to tilt with the abductor swung
away. Otherwise, the abductor may collide with the tilt actuator when return-
ing the untilted position.
D. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS
Never use non-Quickie parts or make changes to your chair unless authorized
by Sunrise. (Doing so will void the warranty and may create a safety hazard.)
1. If you modify or adjust this chair it may increase the risk of fall or tip-over.
2. Modifications unauthorized by Sunrise constitutes remanufacturing of the
wheelchair. This voids the warranty. The rider then assumes all future liability
for the wheelchair.
