Use

Wheelchairs are exclusively for users who are unable to walk or

have limited mobility, for their own personal use, when self-

propelling and being moved by a third party (pushed by attendant),

within the home and outdoors.

The maximum weight limit (includes the user and any weight of

accessories fitted to the wheelchair) is marked on the serial

number label, which is affixed to the crossbar or stabiliser bar

below the seat.

Warranty can only be taken on if the product is used under the

specified conditions and for the intended purposes.

The expected life of the wheelchair is 5 years.

Please DO NOT use or fit any 3rd party components to the

wheelchair unless they are officially approved by Sunrise Medical.

DANGER!

• Do not fit any unauthorized electronic equipment.

• Do not fit powered or mechanically operated mobility devices,

drives, hand-bike or any other device that changes the

intended use or the structure of the wheelchair.

• Any combination with other medical devices requires approval

directly from Sunrise Medical.

Area of application

The variety of fitting variants as well as the modular design mean

that it can be used by those who cannot walk or have limited mobility

because of:

• Paralysis

• Loss of extremity (leg amputation)

• Extremity defect deformity

• Joint contractures/joint injuries

• Illnesses such as heart and circulation deficiencies, disturbance of

equilibrium or cachexia as well as for elderly people who still have

strength in the upper body.

When considering provision, please also note the body size, weight,

physical and psychological constitution, the age of the person, living

conditions and environment.

Operating Conditions

The wheelchair can be used indoors as well as outdoors in self-

propelled or attendant configurations, on dry, firm, relatively smooth

surfaces. It is not recommended for use in a storm, torrential rain,

snow and ice or other extreem weather conditions.

DO NOT USE YOUR WHEELCHAIR UNTIL THIS

MANUAL HAS BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD.

ENGLISH

General safety notes and driving limits

The engineering and construction of this wheelchair has been

designed to provide maximum safety. International safety standards

currently in force have either been fulfilled or exceeded in parts.

Nevertheless, users may put themselves at risk by improperly using

their wheelchairs. For your own safety, the following rules must be

strictly observed.

Unprofessional or erroneous changes or adjustments increase the

risk of accident. As a wheelchair user, you are also part of the daily

traffic on streets and pavements, just like anyone else. We would

like to remind you that you are therefore also subject to any and all

traffic laws.

Be careful during your first ride in this wheelchair. Get to know your

wheelchair.

Before each use, the following should be checked:

• Quick-release axles on the rear wheels

• Velcro on seats and backrests

• Tyres, tyre pressure and wheel locks.

Before changing any of the adjustments of this wheelchair, it is

important to read the corresponding section of the user’s manual.

It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause this

wheelchair to tip over, especially when riding uphill or downhill.

When riding forwards over a step or up an incline, the body should

be leaning forward.

DANGER!

• NEVER exceed the maximum load of 125 kg for driver plus any

items carried on the wheelchair. Please note the weight

information for lighter weight options, which are quoted

separately. If you exceed the maximum load, this can lead to

damage to the chair, or you may fall or tip over, lose control and

may lead to serious injury of the user and other people.

• When it is dark, please wear light clothing or clothing with

reflectors, so that you can be seen more easily. Make sure that

the reflectors on the side and back of the wheelchair are clearly

visible. We would also recommend that you fit an active light.

• To avoid falls and dangerous situations, you should first practice

using your new wheelchair on level ground with good visibility.

• When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the footboards.

These should be flipped up beforehand and swung to the outside

as far as possible. Always position yourself as close as possible

to the place where you wish to sit.

• Only use your wheelchair properly. For example, avoid travelling

against an obstacle without braking (step, kerb edge) or dropping

down gaps.

• The wheel locks are not intended to brake your wheelchair. They

are only there to ensure that your wheelchair does not begin

rolling unintentionally. When you stop on uneven ground, you

should always use the wheel locks to prevent such rolling. Always

apply both wheel locks; otherwise, your wheelchair could tip over.

• Explore the effects of changing the centre of gravity on the

behaviour of the wheelchair, for example on inclines, slopes, all

gradients or when overcoming obstacles. Do this with the secure

aid of a helper.

• With extreme settings (e.g. rear wheels in the most forward

position) and less than perfect posture, the wheelchair may tip

over even on a level surface.

• Lean your upper body further forward when going up slopes and

steps.

• Lean your upper body further back when going down slopes and

steps. Never try to climb and descend a slope diagonally.

• Avoid using an escalator which may lead to serious injury in the

event of a fall.

• Do not use the wheelchair on slopes > 10°. The Dynamic safe

slope is dependent on the chair configuration, the user#s abilities

and the style of riding. As the user’s abilities and style of riding

cannot be pre-determined then the max safe slope cannot be

determined. Therefore this must be determined by the user with

the assistance of an attendant to prevent tipping. It is strongly

recommended that inexperienced users have anti-tip tubes fitted.

• It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause this

wheelchair to tip over, especially when riding uphill or downhill.

• Do not use your wheelchair on muddy or icy ground. Do not use

your wheelchair where pedestrians are not allowed.

• To avoid hand injuries do not grab in between the spokes or

between the rear wheel and wheel lock when driving the

wheelchair.

• In particular when using lightweight metal handrims, fingers will

easily become hot when braking from a high speed or on long

inclines.

• Riding sideways on to a slope or incline, increases the possibility

of the wheelchair tipping over sideways.

• Only attempt stairs with the help of an attendant. There is

equipment available to help you, e.g. climbing ramps or lifts,

please use them. If there is no such equipment available, then

the wheelchair must be tipped and pushed, never carried, over

the steps (2 helpers). We recommend that users over 100 kg in

weight do not use this stairway manoeuvre!

• In general, any anti-tip tubes fitted must be set beforehand, so

that they cannot touch the steps, as otherwise this could lead to a

serious tumble. Afterwards the anti-tip tubes must be set back to

their correct position.

• Make sure that the attendant only holds the wheelchair using

securely mounted parts (e.g. not on the footrests or the

sideguards).

• This wheelchair is not designed to be used whilst weight training

and/or when using dumbbells. Only use equipment specifically

designed for this purpose.

• Do not lift or carry the wheelchair by the backtubes or the

pushhandles.

• When using the lifting ramp make sure that the anti-tip tubes

fitted are positioned outside the danger area.

• Secure your wheelchair on uneven ground or when transferring,

e.g. into a car, by using the brakes.

BREEZY PREMIUM

ENGLISH

• If and whenever possible, during a journey in a specially fitted

vehicle for disabled people, vehicle occupants should use the

seats in the vehicle and the appropriate restraint system. This is

the only way to ensure that occupants will have the maximum

protection if there is an accident. When using safety elements

offered by SUNRISE MEDICAL and using a specially designed

safety system, lightweight wheelchairs can be used as a seat

when being transported in a specially fitted vehicle. (See the

Chapter on “Transportation”).

• Depending on the diameter and setting of the castors, as well as

the centre of gravity setting of the wheelchair, the castors may

begin to wobble at high speeds. This can lead to the castors

being blocked and the wheelchair may tip over. Therefore,

please make sure that the castors are adjusted correctly (see

the Chapter "Castors"). In particular, do not travel on an incline

without brakes, travel at a reduced speed. We recommend that

novice users use anti-tip tubes.

• Anti-tip tubes should prevent the chair tipping over backwards

unintentionally. Under no circumstances should they take the

place of transit wheels, and be used to transport a person in a

wheelchair with the rear wheels removed.

• When reaching for objects (which are in front of, to the side or

behind the wheelchair) make sure that you do not lean too far

out of the wheelchair, as if you change the centre of gravity there

is a risk of tipping or rolling over. The hanging of additional load

(back pack or similar items) onto your chair backposts can affect

the rearward stability of your chair, especially when used in

combination with recliner backrests. This can cause the chair to

tip backwards causing injury.

• Adjustments to your wheelchair, particularly to safety-related

components must be carried out by an approved dealer. This

applies to adjustments to wheel locks, anti-tip tubes, backrest

angle and height, lower leg length, COG, lap belt, rear wheel

toe-in and camber, seat height as well as toe-in and directional

stability of the castor fork.

• When using mobility accessories fitted to the wheelchair such as

handbikes, electronic power assist, etc, make sure that your

wheelchair is fitted with the appropriate castor forks, approved

for this use. Please contact your dealer if you have any

questions.

• Do not fit any unauthorized electronic equipment, powered or

mechanically operated mobility drives, hand-bike or any other

device that changes the intended use or the structure of the

wheelchair.

• Any combination with other medical devices requires the

approval of Sunrise Medical.

• Please note that in certain configurations the wheelchair may

exceed a width of 700 mm. If this is the case, under certain

circumstances, it may not be possible to use some or all of the

available escape routes from a building. It may be more difficult

or impossible to travel on public transport.

• Further information and safety instructions can be provided by

your authorised dealer.

• For thigh amputees you must use anti-tip tubes.

• Before setting off, check that your tyre pressure is correct. For

rear wheels it should be at least 3.5 bar (350 kPa). The max.

pressure is indicated on the tyre. The knee-lever brakes will only

work if there is sufficient tyre pressure and if the correct setting

has been made (see the Chapter on “Brakes”).

• If the seat and back sling are damaged, you must replace them

immediately.

• Be careful with fire, in particular with burning cigarettes. Seat

and back slings can be set alight.

• If the wheelchair is subject to direct sunlight for a long period of

time, then parts of the wheelchair (e.g. frame, legrests, brakes

and sideguard) may become hot (>41°C).

• Always make sure that the quick-release axles on the rear

wheels are set properly and lock in. If the button on the quick-

release axle is not pressed in, the rear wheel cannot be

removed.

• Always take care to avoid getting your clothing trapped in the

drive wheels.

WARNING!

• The effect of the knee-lever brake as well as the general driving

characteristics are dependent on tyre pressure. The wheelchair

is significantly lighter and easier to manoeuvre when the rear

wheels are pumped up correctly and both wheels have the same

pressure.

• Make sure that your tyres have sufficient tread! Please note that

you are subject to any and all traffic laws when driving in public

traffic.

• Always be careful with your fingers when working or adjusting

the wheelchair!

WARNING!

CHOKING HAZARD – This mobility aid uses small parts which

under certain circumstances may present a choking hazard to small

children.

The wheelchairs shown and described in this user guide may not

correspond in every detail exactly to your own model. However, all

instructions are completely relevant, regardless of possible detail

differences.

The manufacturer reserves the right to alter without notice any

weights, measurements or other technical data shown in this

manual. All figures, measurements and capacities shown in this

manual are approximate and do not constitute specifications.

Sunrise Medical is ISO 9001 certified, which ensures quality at all

Transportability

DANGER!

There is a risk of serious injury or death if this if this advice is

ignored!

Transportation of your wheelchair within a vehicle:

A wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the equivalent

level of safety and security as a vehicle seating system. It is always

recommended that the user transfers to the vehicle seating. It is

recognised that this is not always practical for the user to be

transferred and in these circumstances, where the user must be

transported whilst in the wheelchair, the following advice must be

followed:

1. Confirm that the vehicle is suitably equipped to transport a

passenger in a wheelchair, and ensure the method of access/

egress is suitable for your wheelchair type. The vehicle should have

the floor strength to take the combined weight of the user, the wheel

chair and accessories.

2. Sufficient space should be available around the wheelchair to

enable clear access to attach, tighten and release the wheelchair

and occupant tie down restraints and safety belts.

3.The occupied wheelchair must be located in a forward facing

position and secured by the wheelchair tie down and occupant

restraint straps (WTORS tie downs meeting the requirements of

ISO 10542 or SAE J2249) in accordance with the WTORS

manufacturer’s instructions.

4. The wheelchair’s use in other positions within a vehicle has not

been tested e.g. transportation in a side facing position must not be

carried out under any circumstances (Fig. A).

5. The wheelchair should be secured by a Tie Down Restraint

system, conforming to ISO 10542 or SAE J2249 with non-

adjustable front straps and adjustable rear straps, which typically

use Karabiner clips/S hooks and tongue and buckle fittings. These

restraints generally comprise of 4 individual straps that are attached

to each corner of the wheelchair.

6. The tie-down restraints should be fitted to the main frame of the

wheelchair as indicated in the diagram on the following page, and

not to any attachments or accessories, e.g. not around the spokes

of wheels, brakes or footrests.

7. The tie–down restraints should be attached as close as possible

at an angle of 45 degrees and tightened securely in accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8.Alterations or substitutions must not be made to the wheelchair

securement points or to structural and frame or components without

consulting the manufacturer. Failure to do so will invalidate the

ability of a Sunrise Medical wheelchair to be transported within a

vehicle.

Fig.A

9. Both pelvic and upper torso restraint belts must be used to

restrain the occupant to reduce the possibility of head and chest

impacts with the vehicle components and serious risk of injury to

the user and other vehicle occupants. (Fig B) The upper torso

restraint belt should be mounted to the vehicle “B” pillar - failure to

do so will increase the risk of serious abdominal injuries to the user.

10. A head restraint suitable for transportation (see label on

headrest) must be fitted and suitably positioned at all times during

transportation.

11. Postural supports (lap straps, lap belts) should not be used or

relied on for occupant restraint in a moving vehicle unless they are

labelled as meeting the requirements specified in ISO 7176-

19:2001 or SAE J2249.

12. The safety of the user during transportation depends upon the

diligence of the person securing the tie-down restraints and they

should have received appropriate instructions and/or training in

their use.

13. Wherever possible remove and stow safely away from the

wheelchair all auxiliary equipment, for example:

Crutches, Loose cushions and Tray Tables.

14. Articulating/elevating leg rest should not be used in the elevated

position when the wheelchair and user are being transported and

the wheelchair is restrained using Wheelchair Transport and

Occupant Restraints.

15. Reclining backrests should be returned to an upright position.

16. The manual brakes must be firmly applied.

17. Restraints should be mounted to the vehicle “B” pillar and

should not be held away from the body by wheelchair components

such as armrest or wheels.

NOTE: The Breezy Premium is suitable to be used as a seat in a

vehicle only if the transportation kit is fitted to the rear frame. For

the UK this kit is fitted as STANDARD, but for other countries, the

kit is an OPTION and must be selected from the order form.

DANGER!

• The Transportation kit must be fitted to the wheelchair before

using it to transport a passenger within a vehicle.

• The Transportation kit must be fitted by a Sunrise Medical

approved dealer.

ENGLISH

Occupant Restraints Instruction:

1. The pelvic restraint belt must be worn low across the front of the

pelvis so that the angle of the pelvic belt is within the preferred zone

of 30 to 75 degrees to the horizontal.

A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is desirable i.e.

closer to, but never exceeding 75degrees. (Fig C)

2. The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the shoulder and

across the chest as illustrated Fig d and e

Restraint belts must be adjusted as tightly as possible consistent

with user comfort.

Restraint belt webbing must not be twisted when in use.

The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the shoulder and across

the shoulder as illustrated in Fig D and E.

3. The attachment points to the chair are the inner front side frame

just above the castor, and the rear side frame. The straps are fitted

around the side frames at the intersection of the horizontal and

vertical frame tubes. (See Figs G-K).

4. The tie down symbol (Fig F) on the wheelchair frame indicates

the position of the wheelchair restraint straps. The straps are then

tensioned after the front straps have been fitted to secure the

wheelchair.

Positioning of wheelchair tie down restraints on wheelchair:

1. Location of the front and rear tie down labels (Fig.G - K).

Minimun User Weight 22 kg:

When the user being transported is a child, less than 22Kg mass

and the vehicle involved has less than eight (8) seated passengers

it is recommended that they be transferred to an UNCE Regulation

44 compliant child restraint system (CRS).

This type of restraint system provides a more effective occupant

restraint system than the conventional 3 point occupant restraint

system and some CRS systems also include additional postural

supports to assist in maintaining the position of the child when

seated.

Parents or care providers may consider the option, in some

circumstances, for their child is to remain in their wheelchair whilst in

transport due to the level of posture control and comfort provided by

the set up in the wheelchair.

We would recommend in such circumstances that a risk assessment

be carried out by your healthcare professional and relevant

competent persons.

wheelchair and flip up the (platform)

footplate or the individual footrests.

Take hold of the sling or the seat

tubes in the middle, from the back

and pull upwards. The wheelchair will

then fold up. To fold your wheelchair

so that it is as small as possible, e.g.,

to put into a car, you can remove the

footrests (depending on the model).

For this purpose, open the latch from

the outside and swing the footrest to the side. Then the footrest only

has to be drawn out of the receiver tube (Fig. 1.0).

Transportation

To move the mobility aid, the folded wheelchair should be lifted by

holding the front part of the cross-brace and the push handles.

Fig. 1.0

Fig. 2.0

Getting into your wheelchair independently

(Fig. 4.0)

• The wheelchair should be pushed up against

a wall or solid piece of furniture;

• The brakes should be on;

• The footplates should be hinged up;

• The user can then lower himself into the chair;

• The footplates should then be pushed down

and the feet rested on them in front of the

heel loops.

Getting out of your wheelchair

independently (Fig. 5.0)

• The brakes should be on;

• The hinged footplates should be hinged up;

• With one hand on each armrest, the person

should bend slightly forward to bring the

body weight to the front of the seat, and with

both feet firmly on the ground, one foot well

back, push up into the upright position.

WARNING!

When standing, do not stand on the footplates or the wheelchair will

tip up. It is easier and safer to get into your wheel chair if you turn

the footplates up and out of the way or take them off the wheelchair.

Fig. 4.0

Fig. 5.0

Unfolding

Press down on the seat tube (see

figure). Your wheelchair is then

unfolded. Now snap the seat tubing

into position in the seat saddle. This

can be facilitated by slightly tipping

your wheelchair, as this means that

the weight is taken off one of the rear

wheels. Be careful not to get your

fingers caught in the cross-tube

assembly. Refit the seat cushionl

(Fig. 2.0).

When transporting the unoccupied wheelchair in a vehicle,

it should be tied down or strapped in.

Quick-Release Axles for Rear Wheels (Fig.3.0)

Removing the rear wheels will

keep the wheelchair as compact

as possible.

The rear wheels are equipped

with quick-release axles. The

wheels can thus be installed or

removed with out using tools.

To remove a wheel, simply

depress the quick-release button

on the axle (1) and pull it out.

CAUTION!

Hold the quick-release button on the axle depressed when inserting

the axle into the frame to mount the rear wheels. Release the

button to lock the wheel in place. The quick-release button should

snap back to its original position.

Brake lever Extension

The extension for the brake lever

can be removed or folded down.

The longer lever helps to minimise

the effort needed to set the wheel

locks (Fig.7.0).

CAUTION!

Mounting the wheel lock too

close towards the wheel will

result in a higher effort to

operate. This might cause the brake lever extension to break!

CAUTION!

Leaning onto the brake lever extension while transferring will

cause the lever to break! Splashing water from tyres might

cause the wheel lock to malfunction.

Options - Brakes

Drum Brakes

Drum brakes permit safe and

convenient braking for an attendant.

They can also be set with the aid of

a locking lever (1) to prevent rolling.

The lever must snap audibly into

place. Drum brakes are not

influenced by air pressure inside the

tyres. Your wheelchair cannot be

moved when the drum brakes are

set (Fig. 7.0).

CAUTION!

Drum brakes must only be adjusted by authorised dealers.

Wheel locks

Your wheelchair is equipped with two wheel locks. They are applied

directly against the tyres. To engage, press both brake levers

forward against the stops. To release the locks, pull the levers back

to their original positions.

Braking power will decrease with:

• Worn tyre tread

• Tyre pressure that is too low

• Wet tyres

• Improperly adjusted wheel locks

The wheel locks have not been designed to be used as brakes for a

moving wheelchair. The wheel locks should therefore never be

used to brake a moving wheelchair. Always use the hand-rims for

braking. Make sure that the gap between the tyres and wheel locks

complies with given specifications. To readjust, loosen the screw

and set the appropriate gap. Then re-tighten the screw (Fig. 6.0 +

8.0).

CAUTION!

After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the wheel lock gap

and re-adjust if necessary.

Options - Footplates

Footplates:

The footplates can be flipped up to

make it easier to transfer to/from the

chair.

Lower leg length:

For users with longer legs, the leg

support can be lowered to the

appropriate level by using the

screws (1). Loosen the screws, push

the tubes to the desired position and

then re-tighten the screws (see

section on torque). There must

always be a minimum gap of 25mm

between the footplates and the

ground, (Fig. 8.0).

Footrests and Latch

The legrests can be swung inwards

under the seat sling or outwards.

When fitting the legrests, the

footrests must be pointing inwards

or outwards. Then rotate the legrest

inwards, until it locks into place. To

remove, pull the lever (2), swing the

footplate inwards or outwards and

then lift the legrest out. Make sure

that the legrest is locked into place

correctly, (Fig. 9.0).

CAUTION!

• The legrests must not be used to lift or to carry the wheelchair.

• When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the footboards.

These should be flipped up beforehand or the footrest should be

swung to the outside as far as possible.

Castors, castor plates, forks

The wheelchair may veer slightly to the right or left, or the castors

may wobble. This may be caused by the following:

• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set properly.

• The castor angle has not been set correctly.

• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; the wheels do

not turn smoothly.

The wheelchair will not move in a straight line if the castors have not

been properly adjusted. Castors should always be adjusted by an

authorised dealer. The castor plates must be re-adjusted, and the

wheel locks must be checked every time the rear wheel position has

been altered.

The seat height is determined by the castor and rear wheel position.

The seat height can be adjusted by altering the position of the rear

wheels and the castors (see seat height matrix on page 14).

CAUTION!

After adjusting the seat height, all screws must be re-tightened and

the wheel lock must be readjusted.

Tyres and Mounting

Tyres and mounting

Pneumatic tyres are fitted as standard from the factory.

If pneumatic tyres are used, make sure that you maintain the

correct tyre pressure, as this can have an effect on wheelchair

performance. If the tyre pressure is too low, rolling resistance will

increase, requiring more effort to move the chair forward. Low tyre

pressure also has a negative impact on manoeuvrability. If the tyre

pressure is too high, the tyre could burst. The correct pressure for a

given tyre is printed on the surface of the tyre itself.

Tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle tyre.

Before installing a new inner tube, you should always make sure

that the base of the rim and the interior of the tyre are free of

foreign objects. Check the pressure after mounting or repairing a

tyre. It is critical to your safety and to the wheelchair’s performance

that regulation air pressure be maintained and that tyres be in good

condition.
