WARNING:

● As a manufacturer of powered wheelchairs, KARMA endeavors to

supply a wide variety of powered wheelchairs to meet the many

needs of the user. However, the responsibility of final selection of

the type of powered wheelchair to be used by an individual rests

solely with the user and his/her healthcare professional capable of

making such a selection. KARMA strongly recommends consulting a

certified rehab technology supplier or assistive technology

rofessional.

Operating Information

● Performance adjustments should ONLY be made by professionals of

the healthcare field or persons fully conversant with this process and

the driver's capabilities. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the

driver or by standers and damage to the powered wheelchair and

surrounding property.

● To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice

bending, reaching, mounting and dismounting activities in several

combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional

BEFORE attempting active use of the powered wheelchair.

● For individuals with balance problems, practice mounting and

dismounting activities WITH AN ASSISTANT in the presence of a

qualified healthcare professional.

● If anti-tippers are standard equipped, DO NOT operate the wheelchair

without anti-tippers being installed. Anti-tippers MUST BE attached at

all times.

● DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the

seat or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your

knees as this may cause loss of balance.

● DO NOT lean over the back of the chair to reach objects behind you as

this may cause the powered wheelchair to tip over.

● DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you

are reaching as the powered wheelchair may tip over.

● DO NOT use an escalator to move a powered wheelchair between

floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.

● DO NOT operate in car lanes on roads, streets, highways, etc.

● DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with water, ice or oil

film.

● DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause

your powered wheelchair to turn over and cause bodily harm and/or

damage to the powered wheelchair.

● DO NOT make sharp turns, in forward or reverse, at excessive speeds.

● DO NOT attempt to lift the powered wheelchair by its casings and

seat.

● DO NOT attempt to lift the powered wheelchair by any detachable

parts. Lifting by means of any detachable parts of a powered

iii

wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the powered

wheelchair. Please hold onto the frame when lifting your wheelchair.

● DO NOT operate the powered wheelchair until you have checked that

the surroundings are clear and that the area is safe for travel.

● Please pay attention to the environment, and to keep away from the

hazard of external flame. When the user is smoking, pay attention to

safety and make sure to extinguish the fire when finished. Be alert to

the environment when someone nearby is smoking or using a

cigarette lighter, keep away from the hazard and use fire-proof cloth.

● DO NOT use parts, accessories or adapters other than those

authorized by Karma. Before attempting to sit in or exit the power

wheelchair, turn the power OFF. This will ensure that the power

wheelchair will not drive. Turn the power OFF while the wheelchair is

not in use. Otherwise, injury and/or damage to the wheelchair and

surrounding property may occur.

● DO NOT connect any medical device (i.e., a ventilator, life support

machine, et cetera) to the battery. This could cause unexpected failure

of the device and the powered wheelchair. KARMA specifically

disclaims responsibility to all personal injury and property damage

that may occur during use which does not comply with applicable

federal, state and local laws and ordinances.

● DO NOT stand on the footplates of the powered wheelchair.

● DO NOT use the wheelchair when the back is folded. This alters the

centre 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 joints that could cause the

backrest folding suddenly and may cause injury.

● DO NOT be towed by other vehicles(cars, motorcycles or bicycles, etc.).

Only use freewheel mode on flat surfaces since your electromagnetic

brakes are not engaged in this mode, without these brakes it will roll

down a hill causing injury or damage. Never drive under the influence

of alcohol or medication.

● DO NOT sit in the powered wheelchair within a moving vehicle unless

it has been affixed the labels of hook mark.

● DO NOT touch the surface of motors. It could be hot.

● Store your chair in a clean, dry area. If you fail to do so, parts may rust

is used strict accordance with the intended use as set out in this

document and all maintenance and service requirements are met. The

estimated life expectancy can be exceeded if the products is carefully

used and properly maintained. The life expectancy can be reduced by

extreme or incorrect usage.

● The stopping distance on slopes can be significantly greater than on

level ground.

● if required , power on/off button can be an emergency stop device.

WARNING:

collisions according to ISO 7176-19. Therefore, the wheelchair

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 could be thrown from the wheelchair and get injured. The

suggested solution is to transfer the user from the wheelchair into a

normal seat of the vehicle and to securely stow the wheelchair in a

arate com

artment.

Ramps

the Max Safe Slope for your model specified in Section Specifications.

● When negotiating ramps, if the joystick is released while moving

forward, the powered wheelchair will roll backwards approximately

one foot before the brake engages. If the joystick is released while in

reverse, the powered wheelchair will roll backwards approximately two

and a half feet before the brake engages.

● Be sure to reduce your speed when driving on curved roads or making

a turn; do not drive at full speed. Please drive at a slower speed so you

have complete control of the wheelchair.

● Check to ensure that all electrical connections are secure at all times.

● Grounding Instructions: DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or

remove the round grounding prong from any plug. Some devices are

equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for protection against

possible shock hazards.

●Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal

responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified

electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a

properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle/outlet in accordance

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. However, the wheelchair is not

designed for usage in rain or storms or under other circumstances

where it may be exposed to high levels of moisture , such as:

deep pools of water

pressure washing of the chair

leaving the chair in moist areas such as bathrooms

wheelchair to malfunction electrically and mechanically and may cause

the powered wheelchair to prematurely rust.

● Salt water can be particularly damaging to the wheelchair components

vii

and electrical circuits, causing rust or damage .

● Do not use the chair if the joystick rubber boot is damaged in any way

as moisture can damage the control system.

● Should your chair should get wet, please dry it as soon as possible to

help avoid any damage.

floors using a stairway.

● 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.

● 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.

(detachable) parts. Lifting by means of removable (detachable) parts

may result in injury to the user or assistants or damage to the

wheelchair.

floors. Serious bodily injury and damage to the wheelchair may occur.
