Wheelchairs are exclusively for a user who is unable to walk or has
limited mobility, for their own personal use in- and outdoor.
The maximum weight limit (includes the user and any weight of
accessories fitted to the wheelchair) is marked on the serial num-
ber label, which is affixed to the crossbar or stabiliser bar below
the seat.
Warranty can only be taken on if the product is used under the
specified conditions and for the intended purposes.
The expected life 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.

mean that it can be used by those who cannot walk or have limited
mobility 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 strength in the upper body.
When considering provision, please also note the body size,
weight, physical and psychological constitution, the age of the per-
son, living conditions and environment.
