4. OPERATION
The Ergo Live Series is a self-propelled or transit wheelchair. That is, it can
either be operated by the user (self-propelled) or by an attendant.
CAUTION:
● Your wheelchair should be adjusted by your authorized KARMA dealer.
Your authorized KARMA dealer is also your service provider. Anything
wheelchair related that requires tools should be done by your
authorized KARMA service provider. Your KARMA service provider has
the necessary service/maintenance manual for your wheelchair.
