Braun UVL  Under Vehicle Wheelchair Lifts

All parts under warranty must have a red tag attached before returning the part for credit. A red 

tag must be attached to every item and returned, freight prepaid, to The Braun Corporation. Red tags will 

be sent along with the new replacement part. The authorization of red tags allows us to expediently give 

you proper credit for warranty. 

The red tag must be filled out with the appropriate lift 

model number, series number and serial number. The identification 

tag containing this information is located on the left platform 

side plate (outboard end).  When filling out the red tag, please 

describe the problem briefly. This will allow us to monitor the 

performance of our assembled parts, as well as purchased parts.

All illustrations, descriptions and specifications in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the 
time of publication.  The Braun Corporation reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice.

Braun “Worry-Free”

Three-Year Limited Warranty

UVL

The Braun Corporation of Winamac, Indiana, warrants its wheelchair lift against 

defects in material and workmanship for three years, providing the lift is operated and 
maintained properly and in conformity with this manual. 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.

This warranty also covers the cost of labor for the repair or replacement of most 

parts for one year when performed by an authorized Braun Representative. (A Braun labor 
schedule determines cost allowance for repairs.)

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 of lift or vehicle in which it is installed or loss of time.

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.
