Warranty
To improve the safety and lifespan of your U-
Drive, it is recommended that you have it
serviced on a regular basis. Recommended
Service Schedules for U-Drives are available to
service agents.
There is a comprehensive twelve-month
warranty from the date on which your new U-
Drive is delivered. The warranty covers the U-
Drive for replacement parts during this period.
For more detail, please see the warranty
conditions below:
1. Any work or replacement part installation
must be carried out by an authorised
Drive Medical dealer / service agent.
2. To apply the warranty should your U-Drive
require attention please contact the outlet
from which you purchased the U-Drive.
3. Should any part of the U-Drive require
repair or full or part replacement, as a
result of a manufacturing or material
defect within the warranty period, parts
will be supplied free of charge.
Note: The guarantee is not transferable.
4. Any repaired or replaced parts will be
covered by the balance of the warranty
period on the U-Drive.
5. Parts replaced after the original warranty
has expired will be covered by a three-
month warranty.
6. Consumable items supplied will not
generally be covered during the normal
warranty period unless such items require
repair or replacement clearly as a direct
result of a manufacturing or material
defect. Such items include (among others):
upholstery and tyres.
7. The above warranty conditions apply to a
brand new U-Drives. Ex-demonstration U-
Drives supplied directly by Drive Medical
carry a six-month warranty period. If you
are unsure whether your U-Drive is
covered contact your dealer.
8. The expected service life of the U-Drive is
6 years in a single user environment if the
device is used and maintained in line with
Drive recommendations. In multi-user
environments (such as communal housing)
service life may be reduced.
9. Under normal circumstances, no
responsibility will be accepted where the
U-Drive has required assistance as a direct
result of:
a. the U-Drive part not having been
maintained in accordance with the
manufacturers recommendations
b. failure to use the manufacturer’s
specified parts
c. the U-Drive or part having been
damaged due to neglect, accident or
improper use
d. the U-Drive or part having been altered
from the manufacturer’s specification
or repairs having been attempted
before the dealer is notified
In the event of your U-Drive requiring
attention, please contact your service agent /
dealer and give all relevant details so they can
act quickly.
