RAIN TEST
Ŗ KARMA has tested its powered wheelchair in accordance with ISO 7176 Part
9 Rain Test. This test provides the end user or his/her attendant sufficient
time to remove his/her powered wheelchair from a rainstorm and retain
operation.
Ŗ DO NOT leave your powered wheelchair in a rain storm of any kind.
Ŗ DO NOT use your powered wheelchair in a shower or leave it in a damp
bathroom while taking a shower.
Ŗ DO NOT leave your powered wheelchair in a damp area for any length of
time. Direct exposure to rain or dampness could cause the powered
wheelchair to malfunction electrically and mechanically and may cause the
powered wheelchair to prematurely rust.
STAIRWAYS
Ŗ DO NOT attempt to move an
occupied powered wheelchair between
floors using a stairway. (See Figure 1)
Ŗ Use an elevator to move an occupied
powered wheelchair between floors. If
moving a powered wheelchair between
floors by means of a stairway, the occupant MUST be removed and
transported independently of the powered wheelchair. Extreme caution is
advised when it is necessary to move an UNOCCUPIED powered
wheelchair up or down stairs.
Ŗ Karma recommends disassembling the wheelchair and transporting the
components independently up or down stairs. Make sure to use ONLY
secure, non-detachable parts on each component for hand-hold supports.
Ŗ DO NOT attempt to lift a powered wheelchair by any removable (detachable)
parts. Lifting by means of removable (detachable) parts may result in injury
to the user or assistants or damage to the wheelchair.
ESCALATORS? SORRY!
Ŗ
DO NOT use an escalator to move a powered wheelchair between floors.
Serious bodily injury and damage to the wheelchair may occur.
YOU AND YOUR KARMA SERVICE PROVIDER

necessary service manual for your wheelchair.
Ŗ If you have any defective parts or lose any parts, please contact your dealer
for repair and/or replacement. Please only use parts authorized by karma.
Use of parts that are not authorized by Karma will negate your warranty.

maintenance.
