A. SOLID SEAT BACK
W A R N I N G S
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
Always drive your chair when seated at the minimum tilt angle. Driving your chair when seated at an angle greater than the minimum can cause damage to the tilt actuator.
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.
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 set-up, adjust and maintain your chair you will need the following tools:
• 5/32” Allen wrench
• 3/16” Allen wrench
• 5/16” Allen wrench
• 9/16” box and open-end wrench
• Phillips screwdriver #1
A
NOTE: Setting the wheelchair on a flat surface, such as a table or a workbench, helps make these procedures easier.
A. BATTERY REMOVAL
To remove the batteries for transporting or servicing:
1. Remove Battery Box a) Turn both swedge latches up (fig1&2,A) located on the rear of the battery box.
b) Slide the box lid rearward until it is removed.
c) Disconnect Power harness (fig 3, C), by pulling plug rearward.
d) Grab handle (fig1, B)and pull entire batter box away from chair.
e) Disconnect each battery and remove from batterybox as needed.
2. Battery Installation
See section XI. Batteries, D for instructions and wiring diagram.
C
A
Batteries may weigh up to 40 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.
2. Assess and fit the lateral thoracic supports. Assess client for proper positioning of the lateral thoracic supports. Each support is independent and may be adjusted for your client’s clinical need.

V .
S E T - U P , A D J U S T M E N T & U S E
A minimum of 1” (2.5 cm) of clearance should exist between the top of the lateral support and the user’s arm pit.
a) To adjust the height, angle, or width of the lateral thoracic support pads, loosen the top bolts and slide to correct width.Tighten bolt to bolt plate. If more adjustment is necessary, loosen the internally mounted bolts, and slide in the track to the desired height and width.The
angle is obtained by tilting the bracket as needed.Tighten the bolts.
b) To adjust the depth of the lateral thoracic pads, turn the middle bracket so that the slots are on side.Adjust to desired depth. Re-tighten the bolts.
C. HEADREST
1. Mounting a headrest.
The Solid Seat Back has a headrest plate mounted to it. Care should be taken to use the proper screw length when mounting.
2. To position the headrest use the double clamp and the collar clamp (B,C,D) to obtain the proper height and distance.
For clamp B use a 3/32 Allen set screw
(A) and a 3/16 Allen cap screw. Clamp B positions the headrest forward and aft.
However, due to the vertical movement of this adjustment, collar clamp D will have to be moved in conjunction.
3. Retighten both the 3/16 Allen and the set screws (A) with a 3/32 Allen wrench.

B. TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
If you should notice your C.G.Tilt system binding up, not running in a smooth fashion, or emitting an unusual noise during use, a foreign matter may have come into contact with the glide bearings. If this occurs, use a clean, dry cloth or compressed air to clear or, if needed, please see your authorized Sunrise supplier.
If your tilt system will not function, check to ensure the tilt lock out sensor is seated properly in its mount.The wires should lead out of the sensor toward the front of the chair.
