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.
