The average wheelchair user does not exist.
This is why Sunrise Medical wheelchairs can
be adjusted according to the specific needs of
the user.
In this, we make a distinction between
wheelchair settings and wheelchair adjustment
options. Settings are carried out only once
and must be executed by qualified specialists,
unless explicitly stated otherwise. Adjustment
options can be carried out by the user. These
adjustment options do not require the use of
tools.

It is not allowed to change the technical
specifications of the wheelchair.
Do not make any changes to the electrical
circuit.
Modifications to the wheelchair or to any
parts thereof are not permitted.
Caution!
Parts of the wheelchair that are intended, for
servicing or repair, to be removed without
the use of tools (e.g. electronics and battery
covers) can have an adversery effect on the
electrical functioning of the wheelchair if they
are missing or not placed back in the right
position.
