The Braun Corporation (“Braun”) warranty covers certain parts of this wheelchair lift for three (3) years or 
10,000 cycles and the cost of labor to repair or replace those parts for one (1) year or 3,000 cycles.  If The 
Braun Corporation receives the warranty registration card within 20 days after the lift is put into service, the 
warranty labor coverage will increase from one (1) year or 3,000 cycles to three (3) years or 10,000 cycles.  
In addition, providing the warranty registration card is returned as noted above, the following lift’s power 
train parts are warrantied for 

fi

ve (5) years or 15,000 cycles:  Cable, Cylinder, Flow Control, Gear Box, Mo-

tor, Pump, Hydraulic Hose and Fittings.  This limited warranty covers substantial defects in materials and 
workmanship of the lift, provided that the lift is operated and maintained properly and in conformity with 
the owner’s manual.  The warranty period begins on the date that the product is delivered to the 

fi

rst retail 

purchaser by an independent, authorized dealer of Braun, or, if the dealer places the product into any type 
of service prior to retail sale, on the date the dealer 

fi

rst places the product in such service.  This limited 

warranty applies only to the 

fi

during the 

fi

ranty.  If the substantial defect in material or workmanship, attributable to Braun, is found to exist during the 
second or third year of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or replaced, at Braun’s option, without charge 
to the owner for parts, only, in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of this limited warranty.
