Several components of your power wheelchair have been assigned serial numbers at the 
factory. There may be times when you will need to provide a serial number; for example, 
if you order replacement parts. The following pictures are provided to help you find the 
serial number labels.

Base frame

The base frame serial number label is located 
on the right frame, at the front top of the drive 
wheel, as shown.

Hand control

The hand control serial number label is lo-
cated on the underside of the hand control, 
as shown at right. You must remove the hand 
control from its mounting bracket to see this 
serial number label. Please note that the hand 
control has an additional serial number label 
on the side, which is not intended to be per-
manent; you may remove it.
