Replaced or repaired parts fall under the same warranty conditions as the original wheelchair. Worn parts are 
normally not guaranteed, unless these parts are worn as a direct result of an original manufacturer defect. These 
parts are for example upholstery, tyres, inner tubes and similar kinds of parts. 
 
The warranty conditions above describe all wheelchair parts, and are applied for the models bought at the normal 
end-user price. With normal circumstances no responsibility is accepted when the wheelchair needs replacement or 
repairs as a direct result from: 
 
1.

 

Not maintaining the wheelchair and parts according to the recommendations of the manufacturer, or not 
using the specific original parts; 

2.

 

Damaging the wheelchair or parts by inattentive use, accident or wrong use; 

3.

 

Adjusting the wheelchair or parts, different from the specifications of the manufacturer, or reparations done 
before the service agent is warned. 

4.

 

If the product is not equipped with an original factory frame number and identification label as described in 
the manual, see chapter 1. 

 
The wheelchair that is described and showed in this manual can differ from your own model in details. However, all 
instructions are relevant, independent of slightly different details. We reserve the right to change the product in 
this manual without further notice. All drawings, measures and capacities showed in this manual, are 
approximations and may be slightly different to your wheelchairs specifications. 
 

 

Warning:  

Van Os Medical can not be liable for any consequent or individual damage whatsoever. While this manual is 
created with care it is not exclusive. If you are going to use the wheelchair not in accordance with the 
guidelines in this manual you need to consult with an authorized Van Os Medical dealer. The warranty is only 
valid during the indicated period. If adjustments are made to the wheelchair, which have structural impact 
on the product, the warranty will expire completely. You can contact Van Os Medical for an enlarged 
warranty and supply conditions and an address list of authorized dealers. 

 
For warranty service, contact your authorised dealer from where you bought your wheelchair. If it occurs that you 
are not helped to your satisfaction concerning the warranty service, please contact VAN OS MEDICAL in writing. You 
can find the address on front page of this manual.
