10.5 Parallel swing-away control (Fig.10.5):
WARNING!
• Before adjusting the swing-away arm, switch off the
controller to avoid accidental displacement of the
joystick which would cause unwanted movement of
your wheelchair.
• Keep your fingers and clothing, etc. clear while
operating the swing-away mechanism.
• Be aware that the width of your chair has increased
if the swing-away arm is out and you may not get
between certain obstacles.
• Do not hang any items on or over the parallel swing-
away remote assembly as this could damage the
swing-away mechanism.
• When transferring to and from the wheelchair do not
use the remote as a means of support.
• Keep fingers, clothing, etc. clear of the swing-away
mechanism at all times.
• Ensure the power is switched off while adjusting the
parallel swing-away arm.
• Only operate the wheelchair at low manoeuvring
speed when the parallel swing-away is in use,
(Fig.10.5).
10.6 Programming:
When the chair leaves the factory, the parameters of the
controller are set to default. However, if any alterations
are required, then you should contact your dealer, where
a specialist can carry out this work.
Note: A programmer or a PC-based software program
with the appropriate connecting lead are required to
program the wheelchair.
WARNING!
• Never attempt to programme the wheelchair yourself.
• Programming the controller of the wheelchair is only
allowed through authorised personnel trained by
Sunrise Medical. Incorrect controller settings could
cause driving outside the safe limits and could result
in damage or injury.

11.0 Cleaning:
11.1 Cleaning General:
• The wheelchair should be wiped over once per week
with a slightly damp, not wet, cloth and any fluff or
dust that has accumulated around the motors should
be blown or dusted away.
• Make sure that you dry all parts of your wheelchair if it
becomes wet or damp after cleaning or if it is used in
a wet or damp atmosphere.
• It is important that should the wheelchair be used
by more than one person it is cleaned thoroughly to
ensure there is no cross infection. You should use
a proprietary disinfectant for this task. Please pay
attention to the manufacturer`s instructions of the
disinfectant you are using.
• Inspect the upholstery/seating for tears, dents,
wearing or slackening of upholstery particularly near
to metal as this could result in poor posture or lower
levels of comfort and pressure relief.

All parts/accessories such as swing-away trays should be
cleaned with a damp cloth.
All lateral supports, headrest, armrests, side-guards, calf
pads, lap belts and kneepads should be cleaned with a
damp cloth.

Do not use a hose or a pressure washer to clean your
chair.
11.3 Cleaning control system:
