reverse, left, and right) as well as two switched connections for mode
and on/off , with an option for mounting the switches. The VersaGuide
diff ers from the VersaGuide EZ in the amount of actuation force
required to attain full speed. VersaGuide requires around 240 grams
while the EZ requires around 120 grams.
The intended lifetime of this product is 5 years.

warranties herein are limited to rework or replacement of the goods. In no event shall damages for breach of any warranty include any

F. Maintenance Tips
The wheelchair’s lifespan is dependant on it being well maintained.
For information concerning specifi c settings, maintenance, or
repair work, please contact your Sunrise Medical authorized
dealer.
Hygiene measures when being re-used:
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully prepared.
All surfaces which come into contact with the user must be treated
with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a disinfectant as authorised/recommended
in your country, for rapid alcohol-based disinfection for medical
products and medical devices, which must be disinfected quickly.
Please be aware of the manufacturer’s instructions for the
disinfectant you are using.
In general, a complete disinfection cannot be guaranteed on seams.
We therefore recommend that you dispose of seat and back slings
to avoid micro-bacterial contamination with active agents according
to your local infection protection law.
Conditions For Safe Storage:
• Products should be stored in a dry place: at 20 – 75% Relative
Humidity.
• Protect from direct sunlight and dust for long periods.
• Away from direct heat and at a temperature between 5°C (40°F)
to 40°C (104°F)
• Position and stack the packaged products according to the “this
side up” arrows on the packaging.
• If a package is high and narrow and therefore potentially unstable,
ensure it is well secured on the pallet or in the racking, to prevent
it from falling down.
• Do not stack anything on top of the packaged products when the
“do not stack” mark on the packaging is shown.
• Product should never be stored outside and subject to the
elements.
