Lighting maintenance:
DANGER!
Maintaining lights and indicators is a safety critical task. If your lights and indicator system shows a defect, please contact your
Sunrise Medical Approved Dealer.
All lights and indicators are state of the art LED low energy, no maintenance units. There are no light bulbs used. The high intrinsic
reliability of these units means that they are extremely unlikely to fail under normal usage. If a failure should occur, (may be as a
result of an impact), the damaged light assembly must be replaced in its entirety. The individual LED’s cannot be replaced.
CAUTION!
•
We recommend the use of Sunrise Medical authorized spare parts only.
•
Be advised that all lighting circuits are electronically protected. In the event of a short circuit current will be limited to a safe level.
Once the fault is removed the system resets automatically.

The wheelchair should be wiped over once per week with a slightly damp, not wet, cloth and any fluff or dust that has accumulated
around the motors should be blown or dusted away.
