Directions for use 2. How to use this manual
We at Sunrise Medical want you to get the best out of your GROO-
VE wheelchair. This Owner’s Manual will familiarise you with the
chair and its features. It contains hints on everyday usage and
general care in addition to information on the high quality stan-
dards which we adhere to and details about the guarantee. There
are a wide range of components and adjustments available on the
GROOVE. For further information about these you should contact
your wheelchair prescriber/supplier.
Your wheelchair will reach you in excellent condition having been
personally inspected before leaving our factory. Following the gui-
delines for maintenance and cleaning your wheelchair will maintain
its first class condition and give you complete satisfaction.
The GROOVE has been designed for use by an individual on a dai-
ly basis. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use (Class B). It
is only intended for use as a pavement vehicle, but may also be
used when crossing between pavements.
This vehicle has been designed for a single occupant of limited
mobility up to the weight of 182 kg who has the cognitive, physical
and visual ability to control the vehicle safely on a maximum slope
of 18% (10°). If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of the
power chair, contact your local Sunrise Medical approved supplier
for clarification, prior to commencing use.
It is very important to read the relevant section of the owner’s
manual when making any minor adjustments. Consult Technical
Manual or local Sunrise dealer for more complex adjustments.
If you have any queries about the use, maintenance or safety of
your wheelchair please contact your local approved Sunrise Medi-
cal service agent. If you do not know of an approved dealer in your
