● DO NOT overload the wheelchair in any circumstance.
● DO NOT hang anything heavy on the back of the wheelchair that could cause the
wheelchair to become unstable, particularly when negotiating inclines.
● DO NOT allow more than one user at a time.
● DO NOT have any unconscious patient use the wheelchair.
● DO NOT use other transport to pull the wheelchair.
● DO NOT do "wheelies", since you might fall or tip over backwards and suffer a
severe injury.
● DO NOT sit in the wheelchair within a moving vehicle unless it has been affixed the
labels of hook mark. The labels of hook mark mean that the wheelchair fulfils the

● As of this date, the KM-9000 cannot be used as seats in any vehicles. That is,
KARMA recommends that users are NOT transported in any vehicle while seated
in the wheelchair. In the case of accident or a sudden stop, the user or
passengers may be at risk of getting injury. The suggested solution is to transfer
the user from the wheelchair into a vehicle seat and to securely stow the
wheelchair in a separate compartment.
● DO NOT go too fast or turn too quickly.
● DO NOT stand on the footplates when getting in or out of the wheelchair.
● DO NOT go down steps forward, whether solo or with an attendant.
● DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts.
Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of the wheelchair may result
in injury to the user and/or assistant or damage to the wheelchair.
● Do NOT use the wheelchair when the back is folded. This alters the center of
gravity and may cause the wheelchair to tip backwards. The back should only be
folded for storage or transport of the wheelchair.
● DO NOT hang anything on the back joint that could cause the backrest folding
suddenly and may cause injury.
