When processing any warranty claims (parts, repairs, etc.), all requests must be processed through The

®

 during normal working hours.

Product Support will issue a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number and detail the procedures 

required for processing returns and/or authorizing credit.

The lift identification information is provided on the Braun Serial No./Series No. identification tag and 

the two warranty cards (shown on inside front cover).  The lift identification information must be 

provided when filing a warranty claim or ordering parts.

Return Authorization Procedure

The Braun Corporation of Winamac, Indiana, warrants that it will repair (or replace at 

Braun’s sole option) any defect in material or workmanship in its wheelchair lift for five years*, 
providing the lift is installed, operated and maintained properly.  This warranty is limited to the 
original purchaser and does not cover defects in the motor vehicle on which it is installed, or 
defects in the lift caused by a defect in any part of the motor vehicle.
 

This warranty commences on the date the lift is put in service, providing the warranty 

registration card is completed and received by The Braun Corporation within 20 days of purchase.  
If no warranty card is received, the warranty will expire three years from the date of manufacture 
as identified on the lift serial number tag.
 

This warranty also covers the cost of labor for the repair (or replacement at Braun’s sole 

option) of parts for three years when performed by an authorized Braun representative.  (A labor 
schedule determines cost allowance for repairs and is available upon request).
 

This warranty does not cover normal maintenance, service, or periodic adjustments 

necessitated by use or wear.  The Braun Corporation will not, under any circumstances, pay for loss
of use, incidental, or consequential damages related to the lift or vehicle in which it is installed.
 

This warranty will become null and void if the lift has been damaged through accident, 

misuse, or neglect, or if the lift has been altered in any respect.
 

* The five-year portion of this warranty covers the following lift’s power train parts:  

• Cable • Cylinder • Flow Control • Gear Box • Motor • Pump • Hydraulic Hose & Fittings 
• Solid State Controller
 

         All remaining lift components are covered by a three-year warranty.
