Servicing of Defective Units

Excluding the items listed in Section 1 of this Chapter there are no serviceable parts, in

any of the PGDT control systems. Consequently, any defective units must be returned

to PGDT or a PGDT approved service organization for repair.

Any replacement work carried out without the wheelchair

manufacturers permission will invalidate the control systems

warranty.

Opening or making any unauthorized adjustments or modifications to a control system

or its components will invalidate any warranty and may result in hazards to the vehicle

user, and is strictly forbidden.

PGDT accept no liability for losses of any kind arising from

unauthorized opening, adjustments or modifications to a any

component of a control system.
