1.13 SERVICE BY AUTHORISED DISTRIBUTOR
Service Records should be completed by the Authorised Distributor Servicing Department and retained by the user as a reference.
The Authorised Distributor should carry out Service checks at the recommended interval specified on the Service Record. We recommend that the distributor check chairs at assessed intervals, according to the level of use and usage environment. A Handling chair used frequently should be serviced annually.
Batch code and serial numbers are essential for the specification of spare parts.
If in doubt, your Authorised Dealer or Rehabilitation Specialist will be able to provide help and professional advice on correct and safe use of wheelchairs.
All Remploy products are designed with the needs of disabled people in mind.
We hope that our products provide their users with the freedom and independence they need for a more active and improved lifestyle.
Remploy Healthcare Group has a policy of constant product improvement and reserves the right to change specifications without prior notice.
