We at Sunrise Medical want you to get the best out of your 

TANGO  wheelchair.  This  Owner’s  Manual  will  familiarise 

you  with  the  chair  and  its  features.  It  contains  hints  on 

everyday usage and general care in addition to information 

on  the  high  quality  standards  which  we  adhere  to  and 

details about the guarantee. 
Your  wheelchair  should  be  delivered  fully  configured 

for your use; there are a wide range of components and 

adjustments available on the Tango. For further information 

about  these  you  should  contact  your  Sunrise  Medical 

authorised dealer.
Your wheelchair will reach you in excellent condition having 

been  personally  inspected  before  leaving  our  factory. 

Following  the  guidelines  for  maintenance  and  cleaning 

your  wheelchair  will  maintain  its  first  class  condition  and 

give you complete satisfaction.

The Tango has been designed for use by an individual on 

a daily basis. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use 

(Class B). It is only intended for use as a pavement vehicle, 

but may also be used when crossing between pavements.
This  vehicle  has  been  designed  for  a  single  occupant 

of  limited  mobility  up  to  the  weight  of  125Kg  (dependant 

on options chosen for your chair) who has the cognitive, 

physical and visual ability to control the vehicle safely on 

a  maximum  slope  of  18%  (10°).  If  you  are  in  any  doubt 

as to the suitability of the power chair, contact your local 

Sunrise Medical approved supplier for clarification, prior to 

commencing use.
It is very important to read the relevant section of the owner’s 

manual when making any minor adjustments. Consult the 

Technical Manual or your local Sunrise Medical authorised 

dealer for more complex adjustments.

or  safety  of  your  wheelchair,  please  contact  your  local
