● Inspect the casters for smooth rotation of the caster wheel
and caster assembly
● Inspect the caster for wear in the bearings/mountings and
for tyre wear or damage
● Quick-release axles lock properly; lubricate if necessary
● No excessive side movement or binding when lifted and
spun
● Inspect for cracked, bent or broken spokes
● Inspect the detachable armrest button for effective locking
● Make sure the armrest detaches and flips back properly
● Inspect the footplate height adjustment screws are
securely tightened
● Inspect the swing-away footrest release lever for effective
locking
● Inspect for flat spots, cracks and wear
● Check tyre tread depth is more than 1mm
● If pneumatic tyres, check for proper inflation; tyre pressures
are located on the side of the tyre
● If you find anything abnormal, stop using the wheelchair immediately
and visit a KARMA wheelchair dealer for inspection and maintenance.
● As with any wheelchair, the wheels and tyres should be checked periodically
for cracks and wear, and should be replaced. Failure to keep tyres at the
correct pressure will reduce the braking efficiency.
● Never disassemble or modify the wheelchair frame structure. Otherwise, injury
or damage may occur. This will void the warranty.
