Foreword

Dear Customer,

We are very happy that you have decided in favour of a high-

quality product from SUNRISE MEDICAL.

This owner's manual will provide numerous tips and ideas so

that your new wheelchair can become a trustworthy and reliable

partner in your life.

For Sunrise Medical, it is very important that we have a good

relationship with our customers. We like to keep you up-to-date

about new and current developments at our company. Keeping

close to our customers means: fast service, as little red tape as

possible, working closely with customers. When you need

replacement parts or accessories, or if you just have a question

about your wheelchair – we are there for you.

We want you to be satisfied with our products and service. At

Sunrise Medical we are constantly working to develop our

products further. For this reason, changes can occur in our

palette of products with regard to form, technology and

equipment. Consequently, no claims can be construed from the

data or pictures contained in this user’s manual.

The management system of SUNRISE MEDICAL is certified

to EN ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and ISO 14001.

As the manufacturer, SUNRISE MEDICAL,

declares that the lightweight wheelchairs

conform to the 2017/745/EEC / 2007/47/EEC

guideline.

Please contact your local, authorised SUNRISE MEDICAL

dealer if you have any questions concerning the use,

maintenance, or safety of your wheelchair.

In case there is no authorised dealer in your area,

or you have any questions about product safety and product

recalls, contact Sunrise Medical either in writing or by telephone

or find the information on www.sunrisemedical.co.uk.

Use

Wheelchairs are exclusively for users, children and adults 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 Axle Tube

below the seat.

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

specified conditions and for the intended purposes.

The intended lifetime 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.

The load-bearing components of this wheelchair are

manufactured from carbon (correct designation: carbon fibre

reinforced plastic or CFRP). Carbon fibre is a high-strength

material that is used for conditions requiring extreme load-

bearing capacity with minimal weight.

Our carbon components are manually produced - irregularities in

the weave, unevenness in the surface or small air pockets are

purely visual and have no impact on stability.

Carbon has some different features compared to metal or other

plastics which should be considered for normal use.

Carbon can be damaged from overloading (impacts or shocks

which go beyond usual use such as: Falls, tipping over or

dropping the wheelchair. Overloading may damage the carbon

fibres or lead to delamination (separation of the fibre layers or

separation of the fibres from the resin).

Often, this damage cannot be identified externally and may lead

to reduced load-bearing capability or breaking of components in

extreme cases.

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT USE YOUR WHEELCHAIR UNTIL THIS

MANUAL HAS BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD.

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 e.g. 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 the 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.

DANGER!

• After an accident, fall or dropping the wheelchair, it should

no longer be used for safety reasons and should be sent to

Sunrise Medical for inspection.

• The wheelchair should be regularly inspected for damage

(cracks, discolourations, etc.).

• If the surface of the carbon components is damaged

(indents or scratches which are deeper than the varnish

layer) then the wheelchair should be sent to Sunrise

Medical for inspection.

• During transportation (especially when traveling by air),

ensure that the wheelchair does not come into contact with

other items of luggage. Under no circumstances may

luggage be loaded onto the wheelchair. Ensure that the

wheelchair is firmly secured for slipping.

• Pay attention to creaking noises when using the wheelchair

as these could indicate damage to the fibre structure. If

applicable send to the wheelchair to Sunrise Medical for

inspection.

• Replace damaged components immediately - damage to

carbon components cannot be repaired.

• Accessories from third party suppliers such as handbikes,

front wheels, or other non-standard fittings, are not

permitted.

• Do not exceed the prescribed torque for all clamps and

screws.

• Never attach any extensions using clamps or screws.

• Never mechanically alter or drill the carbon components.

• Never expose the wheelchair to high temperatures (such

as for example as may happen to vehicles parked in the

sun) or store near to heat sources.

• Clean the carbon components exclusively with a damp

cloth and clear, cold or lukewarm water, or with added

detergent if required.

• Never use any type of solvent or solvent-based cleaner,

alcohol or acetone. Do not use any polish or abrasive

varnish cleaner.

1.0 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 dependant on the chair configuration, the

users 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 for weight training and/or

for the use of dumbbells. Only use devices which have

been 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.

ENGLISH

Krypton R Rev.B

• Secure your wheelchair on uneven ground or when

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

• 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.

• 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.

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 13485 certified, and this guarantees

quality assurance in the development and production processes

of all our products. This product complies with the standards set

forth in EU directives. Optional equipment and accessories are

available at extra charge.

CAUTION!

Braking power can be

affected by incorrect fitting and

adjustment of the brakes, as well as tyre pressure which is too

low.

Wheel Locks

The wheelchair is equipped with two wheel locks. They are

applied directly against the tyres. To engage, press both wheel

lock 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.

2.0 Handling

Brakes

Quick-release axles on rear

wheel

The rear wheels are equipped with

quick-release axles.

The wheels can thus be installed or

removed without using tools.

To remove a wheel, simply depress

the quick-release button on the axle

(1) and pull it out, (Fig. 2.1).

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.

Step Tubes

Step tubes are used by attendants to push a wheelchair over an

obstacle. Simply step on the tube to push a wheelchair, for

example, over a kerb or step.

WARNING!

Sunrise Medical strongly recommends the use of a step tube on

any model where attendant use is the predominant intended

use. Damage to the backposts may occur if you constantly use

the backpost without a step tube, as a lever to pull back on to tip

the wheelchair.

Fig. 4.3

Fig. 2.1

Transporting the wheelchair

Removing the rear wheels will keep the wheelchair as compact

as possible. The backrest can be folded down by pulling the cord

(1) (see picture 3.2) located on the backrest (Fig. 3.1 and 3.2).

Getting into your wheelchair on your own

• Push the wheelchair to a wall or a solid piece of furniture

• Apply the brakes

• The user can lower themselves into the wheelchair

• Then position the feet in front of the heel straps

(Fig. 4.1).

Getting out of your wheelchair on your own

• Apply the brakes

• With one hand on the wheel or side guard, the person should

lean forwards slightly, to transfer the body weight to the front

edge of the seat and then push up to an upright position with

both feet firmly on the floor and one foot behind the other (Fig.

4.2).

a vehicle, it should be tied down or strapped in.

ENGLISH

Krypton R Rev.B

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 handrims

for braking. Make sure that the interval between the tyres and

wheel locks complies with given specifications. To readjust,

loosen screw and set the appropriate interval. Then re-tighten

the screw (Fig. 4.3 and 4.4).

CAUTION!

After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the interval to

the wheel locks and readjust if necessary.

Brake lever extension

The longer lever helps to minimise the effort needed to set the

wheel locks.

The brake lever extension is screwed to the brakes. By raising

this, it can be flipped forward (Fig. 4.5).

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!

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.

CAUTION!

Incorrect mounting of the wheel lock will result in a higher effort

to operate.

This might cause the wheel lock extension lever to break!

Compact Wheel Lock

Compact wheel locks are underneath the seat sling and are

operated by pulling the wheel locks towards the rear, in the

direction of the tyre. For the brakes to work properly, this must

be pulled until it reaches the stops, (Fig. 4.6).

CAUTION!

The mounting bolts for the brakes must not be loosened and/or

re-tightened.

Fig. 4.5

Fig. 4.6

The One-arm Wheel Lock

The one arm wheel lock is underneath the seat sling and is

operated by pulling the brake lever, which is located on the left

or right side, towards the rear, in the direction of the tyre. For

the brakes to work properly, this must be pulled until it reaches

the stop, (Fig. 4.6.1)

Adjustment

To adjust the brake, loose the screws (1) and mount the wheel

lock where it will work in a proper way (Fig. 4.6.2).

CAUTION!

Incorrect mounting of the one arm wheel lock can lead to

serious injury of the user and other people.

Suspension System

WARNING!

Rear suspension can affect the stability of the wheelchair. To

avoid a fall, use a spotter and/or anti-tip tubes when becoming

familiar with new equipment.

1. Tuning the 4-Link Rear Suspension

a. to stiffen the suspension, turn the spring preload adjustor (E)

clockwise (looking up at the suspension system from

underneath the wheelchair).

b. to soften the suspension, turn the spring preload adjustor (E)

counter-clockwise (looking up at the suspension system from

underneath the wheelchair).

2. Alignment of Suspension Link Arms

Do not adjust the link arms (F, Fig. 4.10). These are set at the

factory to ensure proper tracking and performance of the 4-Link

Rear Suspension system.

(see next page).

Setting the toe-in/toe-out to zero (with the adjusting device

installed in the factory)

Loosen the Allen screws (G) (2 on each side)

which are used to secure the axle tube on both sides. Observe

the ball in the transparent adjuster in the centre of the axle tube,

then turn the axle tube (C), until the ball is exactly centred at the

lowest point of the adjuster. The toe is now set at zero (Fig. 4.7,

4.10).

Before re-tightening the screws (G), check

that the flat surfaces of the wheel camber adapter in the axle

tube protrude from the clamp of the axle tube. The end of the

cylindrical camber adapter should be flush with the end of the

axle tube. Tighten the screws to a torque of 7 Nm.

Setting the toe-in/toe-out to zero (using a 90° setting gauge)

Place the entire wheelchair on a flat

horizontal table or ground surface. Loosen the Allen screws (G)

(2 on each side) which are used to secure the axle tube on both

sides.

Then put the setting gauge at an angle of exactly 90° (e.g. a

carpenter's square) on the flat surfaces of the camber adapter

(D) (Fig. 4.8, Fig. 4.9). Then turn the axle tube until the surfaces

of the wrench are entirely parallel to the upper surface of the

setting gauge (Fig. 4.8).

Before re-tightening the screws (G), check

that the flat surfaces of the wheel camber adapter in the axle

tube protrude from the clamp of the axle tube. The end of the

cylindrical camber adapter should be flush with the end of the

axle tube. Tighten the screws to a torque of 7 Nm.

CAUTION!

When turning the 4-Link Rear Suspension, always make one

change at time and write down the change. This takes patience,

but allows you to understand how each change affects the ride of

the wheelchair in conjunction with rear suspension.

NOTE – The lower shock mount is designed to have a loose feel,

this is by design to allow for proper suspension travel.

CAUTION!

The screw connection between the axle clamp and the shock

absorber should never be loosened.

3. Maintenance

The following maintenance work must be carried out, along with

the general maintenance tasks described in section 6.0.

a. do not apply lubrication to shock end bushings or coils.

b. you can apply lubrication to the link ends after cleaning with a

mild soap and soft

brush.

c. use a soft brush to clear any dirt or debris from coil system.

d. never use a high-powered washer for cleaning the 4-Link Rear

Suspension.

Krypton R Rev.B

Remove the rear wheels. Undo both Allen screws (A) on the

upper side of the axle mount (B) on both sides of the

wheelchair (Fig 4.11). Then push the complete unit out of the

axle and push both axle mounts forwards on the frame (in the

direction of travel) for a more active COG, or backwards for a

more passive, stable COG. Tighten the screws (A) on both

sides, with a torque of 5 Nm. Then adjust the sides and brakes

to the new wheel position.

CAUTION!

Please note that the tipping behaviour of the wheelchair will

change if the COG has been changed. This may mean that you

need to use anti-tip tubes.

DANGER!

Brakes must be adjusted to suit the new position.
