self-propelling and being moved by a third party (pushed by
attendant) within the home and outdoors.

weight of accessories fitted to the wheelchair) is marked on
the serial number label, which is affixed to the cross-brace
or the stabilising bar under the seat.
Warranty can only be issued if the product is used under the
specified conditions and for the intended purpose.
The expected life of the wheelchair is 5 years.
NO NON-STANDARD PARTS are to be fitted, other than those
officially approved by Sunrise Medical.
