easily become hot when braking from a high speed or on long
inclines.
Danger!
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).
Note!
When using the chair outside, always wear leather gloves which
will increase your grip and protect the fingers from dirt and
overheating.
Note!
The effect of the 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.
Note!
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.
Note!
Before using the wheelchair for the first time, the user must
receive the necessary instruction.
Note!
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.
Note!
Do not use the wheelchair on slopes > 10°.
Do not use the wheelchair on muddy or icy ground.
Only use the wheelchair in areas which are permitted for
pedestrians.
Note!
When working with or making adjustments to your wheelchair, be
careful not to get your fingers caught!
Please keep a note of your local service agent's address and
telephone number in the space provided.
In the event of a breakdown, contact them and try to give all
relevant details so they can help you quickly.

Guarantee conditions
1) Repair or replacement is carried out by the authorised Sunrise
Medical dealer.
2) To fulfil the guarantee conditions, should servicing need to be
carried out on your wheelchair under this agreement, contact the
designated Sunrise Medical customer service agent immediately,
with precise details on the type of difficulty. Should you be using
the wheelchair outside the area covered by the designated Sun-
rise Medical customer service agent, the work will be carried out
under "guarantee conditions" by another agency as designated
by the manufacturer.
3) Should a part or parts of the wheelchair require repair or
replacement within 24 months (5 years for frame and cross-
brace) after transfer of ownership to the original purchaser, and
provided that this person is still the owner of the wheelchair, as
a result of a specific manufacturing or material defect, the part or
parts will be repaired or replaced free of charge if the wheelchair
is returned to the authorised customer service agent.
Note: This guarantee cannot be transferred.
4) The guarantee also covers all repaired or replaced parts for
the remaining period of the guarantee for the wheelchair.
5) For spare parts which are fitted after the start of the original
guarantee, we give a further 24-month guarantee.
6) Consumable parts are normally excluded from the guarantee,
except in the case that premature wear of the part is the direct
result of a manufacturing fault. These parts include, amongst
others, upholstery, tyres, inner tubes and similar parts.
7) The guarantee conditions above cover all product parts for
models which were purchased at full sales price.
8) Normally we do not accept responsibility if a repair or re-
placement of the wheelchair is required for one of the following
reasons:
a) The product or part has not been maintained or serviced in
accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations as shown
in the User Instructions and/or the Service Instructions. Accesso-
ries have been used which are not specified as original acces-
sories.
b) The wheelchair or a part of the wheelchair was damaged
through neglect, accident or improper use.
c) Alterations to the wheelchair or parts, which are not in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's specifications or the carrying out of
repairs before informing the customer service agent.
