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 necessary 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 returning 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.

To secure the back foam and cover on the Solid Seat
Back, slide the top edge of the cover over the top lip of the shell. Press the back in place against the shell.
E. SEAT TILT ADJUSTMENTS
1. Initial Tilt Angle
The upright angle can be adjusted to suit the rider.
a) Operate the tilt system until the seat is tilted about 30°.
b) Adjust the stop pin (A) to the desired positions. The stop pin lock-nuts (B) determine the resting position of the seat. When coming to a rest, the seat should contact both pins simultaneously.
c) Tighten the stop pin lock-nuts.
d) Raise the seat up once again.
e) Remove the access cover on the actuator housing (C).
f) Position the most rearward limit switch (D) such that the actuator shuts down when the seat contacts the stop pins (A).
NOTE– Do not loosen the screw any more than is necessary to slide the limit switch in its track. If the screw is over loosened, it may come out and be difficult to replace.
NOTE– The limit switch adjustment should not allow the motor to stall as the seat frame contacts the stop pins.
2. Drive Lock-out Angle
The drive lock-out angle is adjustable a) Tilt the seat back at least 30°.
b) Remove the access cover on the actuator.
c) Adjust the middle limit switch (E) until the desired lock-out position is achieved.
d) Replace the access cover on the actuator housing (C).
NOTE– The drive lock-out should be set such that the chair cannot be driven with the seat tilted to an angle of greater than 15°.

F. ANTI-TIP CASTER LOCK-OUT
1. The rear anti-tip casters incorporate a lock-out mechanism to prevent the chair from sagging rearward when tilting. To adjust the tilt angle at which they lock-out follow the instructions below: a) Adjust the height of the anti-tip lock-out actuator levers (A).
b) Adjust the cable position (B) at the anti-tip mount and the anti-tip lock-out actuator lever mount brackets (C).
2. Proper adjustment of the anti-tip lock-out levers can be verified when three conditions exist: a) The anti-tip lock-out levers under the anti-tip lower links are retracted when the seat frame is on the forward stops.
b) The anti-tip lock-out levers (A) located at the front stop pins (D) do not rotate to the point that they can not be engaged by the seat frame forward cross tube when the seat frame is lowered toward the forward stop pins.
c) When the seat frame is elevated off the antitip lock-out actuator levers (A), the anti-tip lock-out levers are free to engage the antitip lower links.
G. ARTICULATING VENTILATOR TRAY
1. Attach the Vent Tray to the S-646 Frame a) Slip the vent tray battery cage (A) over the rear frame tube of the S-646 (B).
b) Fasten the battery cage to the frame using the two bolts provided.
2. Attach Vent Tray Swing-Arm to the Towel Bar.
a) Position the Power C.G. Tilt system in the fully upright position.
b) Adjust the towel bar (C) to the desired height.
c) Position the vent tray platform (D) such that it is level with the floor and within 1.5" of the seat back.
d) Adjust the length of the vent tray swing-arm
(E) such that the swing-arm cross member is virtually at the same position as the towel bar.

V . S e t - u p , A d j u s t m e n t & U s e e) Fasten the split clamps (F) such that the clamps capture both the towel bar (C) and the swing-arm cross member.
f) Rotate the position of the swing-arm cross member underneath the towel bar and as close to the seat back as possible.
g) Tighten the split clamps (F). Do not fully tighten.
Clamps should be tight so that the clamp does not rotate, except with sufficient hand force.
h) Ensure that the lower four links (G) are positioned such that the upper portion of the links are slanted rearward beyond the vertical, as shown in the accompanying figure.
i) Begin tilting the system. If the vent tray binds, or interferes with the battery box, return the tilt to an upright position and rotate the clamps around. Tilt the system once again and observe what happens. You may need to go through several iterations of clamp position before finding the most appropriate clamp location. You will know when you have achieved the appropriate position when the vent tray articulates just past the vent battery box when tilting and tucks up close to the back rest when fully upright.
NOTE– It is important to keep the angle between the swing-arm (E) and the vent tray platform (D) as small as possible. This will prevent the system from inadvertently binding due to vibration or impact.
Angle should be as small as possible
Links should be slanted rearward
