QUICKIE ATTITUDE
G. OBSTACLES
WARNING
Riding over curbs or obstacles can cause tipping and serious bodily harm.
If you have any doubt that you can safely cross any curb or obstacle,
ALWAYS ASK FOR HELP. Be aware of your riding skills and personal
limitations. Develop new skills only with the help of a companion.
To avoid the risk of traversing obstacles:
1. Keep a lookout for danger – scan the area well ahead of your
bike as you ride.
2. Make sure riding areas where you live and work are level and free
of obstructions, stairs, and extreme slopes. Maximum obstacle
height is 1.25in (30mm).
3. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN using the bike on any type of
ramp, either going up or down. Corners and slopes may put the
rider at risk of a fall, tip-over, or injury.
4. To Help Correct Your Center Of Balance:
a. Lean your upper body FORWARD slightly as you go UP over
an obstacle.
b. Press your upper body BACKWARD as you go DOWN from a
higher to a lower level.
5. Keep both of your hands on the handcranks as you go over an
obstacle.
6. Never push or pull on an object (such as furniture or a doorjamb)
to propel your chair/bike.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair/bike, a fall, tip-over
or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
H. SAFETY CHECKLIST
WARNING
Before Each Use Of Your Bike:
1. Make sure the unit rolls easily and that all parts work smoothly.
Check for noise, vibration, or a change in ease of use. (This may
indicate low tire pressure, loose fasteners, or damage to the unit.)
2.
3.
Inspect for any problems. Your Authorized Dealer can help you find
and correct the problem(s).
Make sure that the weight limit does not exceed 220lbs between
the rider and any additional items (travel bags, water etc.)
4. Be sure to check main brake and the parking brake before each
ride to ensure they are in good working order and can stop the
unit in case there is a need for an emergency stop.
5. Be sure to check that all lights are working. Using your forward
and rear facing lights, even in daylight, will make you more visible
to other people and vehicles.
6. Check tire pressure and fill to psi shown on the sidewall of tire.
7. Ensure that your feet cannot slip off of the footplate of your chair.
8. Check all cables and electrical connections.
9. Check that the battery is locked and fully charged.
10. Double-check that connecting points are fully locked before travel
11. Always wear a helmet.
I. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
1. It is best to see your healthcare professional, or an authorized
dealer to have them re-assess the basic fit and performance
measure-ments, and adjust seating components when the
Quickie Attitude is added to an existing chair.
2. Unauthorized modifications or use of parts not supplied or
approved by Sunrise may change the bike structure. This will
void the warranty and may cause a safety hazard.
If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair/bike, a fall, tip-
over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or
others
J. OPERATING SURFACES
WARNING
1. NEVER ride on unpaved or loose surfaces (e.g. on loose gravel,
in sand, mud, snow, or ice.
2. NEVER ride off-road, where obstacles are unpredictable.
3. Typical riding surfaces will be concrete, smooth pavement, and
smooth, packed riding surfaces that are typical of well-
maintained bike paths.
4. Use caution and go slow when steering around corners.
5. Take care when turning on any degree of slope..
If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair/bike, a fall, tip-
over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or
others
WARNING
1. Use extra care if you must expose the
Quickie Attitude to wet or cold conditions.
2. Contact with water or excess moisture may cause your unit to
rust or corrode. Electronic components may also be effected.
Avoid all extreme weather situations if possible.
a. Do not use your bike in a shower, pool or other body of water,
or use a sprayer to wash it. Some parts are not water-tight
and may rust or corrode from the inside.
b. Avoid excess moisture (for example, do not leave the unit out-
side in the rain).
c. Dry your bike as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use
water to clean it.
If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair/bike, a fall,
tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider
or others.
L. CENTER OF BALANCE
WARNING
Adding the Quickie Attitude to an existing chair will effect the center
of balance. The point where this bike will tip forward, back or to the
side depends on its center of balance and stability. How your chair
and bike are set up, the options you select and the changes you
make may affect the risk of a fall or tip-over.
1. The Center Of Balance Is Also Affected By:
a. A change in your body position, posture or weight
distribution.
b. Riding your chair/bike on a ramp or slope.
c. A back pack or other options and the amount of added
weight.
2. To Reduce The Risk Of An Accident:
a. Consult your authorized dealer BEFORE you modify or
adjust this bike. Be aware that you may need to make other
changes to correct the center of balance.
b. Have someone help you until you know the balance points
of your chair/bike and how to avoid a tip-over.
c. Use anti-tip tubes.
d. Always use extreme caution and reduce speeds when using
your bike in unfamiliar areas or conditions.
If you fail to heed these warnings, you are at a high risk of a fall, tip-
over or loss of control that could cause severe injury to the rider or
others.
