A. PERFORMANCE CONTROL SETTINGS
1. It is vital to match performance control settings to your level of function and
ability.
2. Consult your health care professional and your supplier to select the best con-
trol settings for you.
3. Check and adjust the settings every six to twelve months (or more often, if
needed).
4. Adjust the control settings immediately if you notice any change in your
ability to:
• Control the joystick.
• Hold your torso erect.
• Avoid running into objects.
5. Control Settings are adjusted through the use of the Qtronix Programmer. See
your supplier if you do not own a Qtronix Programmer.
B. QTRONIX PROGRAMMING PAD (OPTIONAL)
Program settings beyond the ability of the rider can result in serious injury.
Consult your health care advisor before you alter settings.

Never use a high-powered washer for cleaning the shock. Always use mild
soap and a small brush.
2. Damping Adjustment
The Rock Shox suspension system used on the S-646/S-646 SE has the ability to adjust
the rebound (damping) of the suspension. Rebound or damping is the rate at which
the spring returns to its original position after experiencing a deflection.
a) Adjustment of the rebound (damping) is done by turning the red knob (C) on
the suspension. Turning the red knob clockwise slows the rate of return or
decreases the rebound. Turning the red knob counterclockwise quickens the rate
of return or increases the rebound.
b) Too much rebound will feel like the system stiffens over a bumpy surface.
Adjust the red knob a half turn counterclockwise and test for performance.
c) Too little rebound will feel like the system is trying to buck the rider out of the
seat. Turn the red knob a half turn clockwise and test for performance.
Q. CHECK-OUT
Once the wheelchair is assembled and adjusted, it should roll smoothly and easily.
All accessories should also perform smoothly.
After the wheelchair has been set up be sure the chair performs to your specified
operational settings (see section X. Operating Guide). If the chair does not perform to
specifications, turn the wheelchair OFF immediately and reprogram operational specifi-
cations using the QTRONIX Programming Pad.
Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications before
attempting active use of the wheelchair.
If you have any problems, follow these procedures:
1. Review the set-up and check-out section and operating guide to make sure
chair was properly prepared.
2. If your problem persists, contact your authorized supplier. If you still have
a problem after contacting your authorized supplier, contact Sunrise cus-
tomer service. See the introduction page for details on how to contact your
authorized supplier or Sunrise customer service.
