Seat adjustment factory settings

Sunrise Medical HCM will deliver a Puma wheelchair with default factory settings. These settings depend on the options ticked on 

the order form. When a configuration is ordered that causes interference, Sunrise Medical HCM applies modified factory settings 

and informs the customer of this via a note included in the wheelchair delivery. The seat tilt configuration tables also provide 

detailed information about factory settings.

Moving parts

•  A wheelchair has moving and rotating parts. Contact with moving parts may result in serious  

physical injury or damage to the wheelchair. Contact with the moving parts of the wheelchair  

should be avoided.

•  Wheels (turning and castor)

•  Electric tilt in space adjustment

•  Electric high/low option 

•  Electric backrest adjustment

•  Electric elavating legrests

Electromagnetic radiation

The standard version of your electric wheelchair has been tested on the applicable requirements  

with respect to electromagnetic radiation (EMC requirements) In spite of these tests:

• 

it cannot be excluded that electromagnetic radiation may have an influence on the wheelchair. For example:

•  mobile telephony

•  large-scale medical apparatus

•  other sources of electromagnetic radiation

• 

it cannot be excluded that the wheelchair may interfere with electromagnetic fields.

For example:

•  shop doors

•  burglar alarm systems in shops

•  garage door openers

In the unlikely event that such problems do occur, we request that you notify your supplier immediately.

In configurations fitted with an Intelligent Seating Module (ISM) and R-net controller, it is possible that extreme electrical 

discharge situations (due to static electricity) may cause a fault message (‘ISM over-current’) flashing on the screen. If this occurs 

the wheelchair can be turned off for a few seconds and back on again to clear the fault.
