Accessibility Statement
We want this site usable by everyone, including people using a keyboard, a screen reader, or magnification.
The standard we target
This site is built to conform with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. That is a target we design and test against, not a certification.
What is implemented
- Semantic HTML landmarks, so a screen reader can jump between header, navigation, main content, and footer.
- A “Skip to content” link as the first focusable element on every page.
- Every interactive element reachable and operable by keyboard alone, with a clearly visible focus ring.
- The Products menu opens on click and closes on Esc — it is not hover-only, so it works by keyboard and on touch.
- Text contrast meeting AA against its background, on both the light and dark sections.
- Descriptive alternative text on content images; decorative images marked so screen readers skip them.
- Form fields with real associated labels, required fields marked in text rather than by color alone, and errors announced next to the field they belong to instead of in a color-only cue.
- Width and height on images so the page does not jump while loading.
- Animation and smooth scrolling disabled automatically when your system is set to reduce motion.
- Text that reflows to 320px and remains readable when zoomed to 200%.
- Wide content such as the product comparison table scrolls inside its own focusable region, so the page itself never scrolls sideways.
Known limitations
The dealer portal is a separate system on its own domain, operated by a third party. We do not control its code and cannot speak to its accessibility. If you have difficulty using the portal, call us on (800) 723-7048 and we will help you directly rather than leaving you stuck with the interface.
Some product photographs contain detail — hardware close-ups and mounting diagrams — that a short alt text cannot fully convey. If you need a specification described to you, call or email and we will read it out or send it in another format.
Tell us if something does not work
If any part of this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, we want to know. It is treated as a defect, not a suggestion.
