Guarantee

Sunrise Medical Limited 

recommend that you do not undertake maintenance tasks other than those 

explained in this manual. Your local authorised Sunrise Medical service agent is fully trained by Sunrise 
Medical  to  carry  out  detailed  maintenance  as  and  when  required. 

Use  only  genuine  Sunrise  Medical 

replacement parts.

Warranty condition

1  The repair or replacement will be carried out by an 

authorised Sunrise Medical Dealer/Service Agent.

2  To apply the warranty conditions should your scooter 

require attention under these arrangements, notify the 
designated Sunrise Medical Service Agent immediately 

giving full information about the nature of the difficulty. 

Should you be operating the scooter away from the 
locality of the designated Sunrise Medical Service 

Agent work under the “Warranty Conditions” will be 

carried out by any other service agent designated by 
the manufacturer.

3   Should any part or parts of the scooter require repair or 

replacement as a result of a specific manufacturing or 

material defect within two years from the date on which 
the possession of the scooter was transferred to the 
original purchaser, and subject to it remaining within 
that ownership, then the part or parts will be repaired 
or replaced completely free of charge if returned to the 
authorised service agent.

 

Note: This guarantee is not transferable.

4  Any repaired or replaced part will benefit from these 

arrangements for the balance of the warranty period 
applicable to the scooter.

5  Parts replaced after the original warranty has expired 

are covered for a further three months.

6  Items of a consumable nature will not generally be 

covered during the normal warranty period unless such 
items have clearly suffered undue wear as a direct 
result of an original manufacturing defect. These items 
include amongst others upholstery, tyres, inner tubes, 
batteries, armpads, hand grips and other similar parts.

7  The above warranty conditions apply to all scooter parts 

for models purchased at full retail price.

8  Under normal circumstances, no responsibility will be 

accepted where the scooter has required repair or 
replacement as a direct result of:

(i)  The scooter or part not having been maintained in 

accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, 
where such exist. Or failing 

to use only the specified 

original equipment parts.

(ii)  The scooter or part having been damaged by neglect, 

accident or improper use.

(iii) The scooter or part having been altered from the 

manufacturer’s specifications, or repairs having been 

attempted prior to the Service Agent being notified.

Please keep a note of your local Service Agent’s address 

and telephone number in the space provided. In the event 

of a breakdown, contact them and try to give all relevant 

details so they can help you quickly.

The scooter shown and described in this manual may 
not be exactly the same in every detail as your own 
model. However, all instructions are still entirely relevant, 
irrespective of detail differences.

The manufacturer reserves the right to alter without notice 
any weights, measurements, or other technical data shown 

in this manual. All figures, measurements, and capacities 

shown in this manual are approximate, and do not 

constitute specification.

THIS IN NO WAY AFFECTS YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS.
