III. NOTICE - READ BEFORE USE
J. Your Wheelchair and the Environment
CAUTION: Exposure to water or excessive moisture may cause the metal in the wheelchair
to rust or corrode and the fabric to tear. Dry your chair as soon as possible if exposed to
water.
• DO NOT USE YOUR WHEELCHAIR IN A SHOWER, POOL OR BODY OF WATER. This
will cause your wheelchair to rust or corrode and eventually fail.
• Do not operate your wheelchair in sand. Sand can get into the wheel bearings and
moving parts. This will cause damage and eventually will cause the wheelchair to
fail.
K. Modifying your Wheelchair
WARNING: NO ONE SHOULD MODIFY THIS WHEELCHAIR EXCEPT BY ADJUSTING IT
ACCORDING TO THIS MANUAL OR BY ADDING KI MOBILITY APPROVED OPTIONS.
THERE ARE NO APPROVED OPTIONS THAT INVOLVE DRILLING OR CUTTING THE
FRAME BY ANYONE OTHER THAN A TRAINED KI MOBILITY ASSOCIATE. Your wheelchair
was engineered and manufactured under strict design controls. An integral part of this
process is ensuring the various components work together correctly; they have been
tested to various standards to ensure quality and are approved to work together. Contact
an authorized supplier or Ki Mobility before adding any accessories or components not
provided by Ki Mobility. Unapproved modifications or options could lead to fall and cause
serious injury or death.
L. Wheelchair Stability
WARNING: The stability of your wheelchair could be affected when using on soft, rough,
uneven (incline or decline), or slick surfaces (including but not limited to ice, sand, loose
soil, grass, gravel, potholes, cracks, and broken pavement). Use on such surfaces could
cause the wheelchair to tip unexpectedly resulting in a fall or loss of control. A fall or loss
of control could result in damage to your wheelchair, serious injury or death.
• Shifting weight in your wheelchair, adding weight to your wheelchair and carry or
reaching for objects could affect the stability of your wheelchair. Thus, increasing
your risk of falling or tipping over. Falling or tipping over could result in damage to
your wheelchair, serious injury or death.
• Avoid getting dressed or undressed in your wheelchair. Dressing or undressing in
your wheelchair causes your weight to shift. Thus, increasing your risk of falling or
tipping over. Falling or tipping over could result in damage to your wheelchair,
serious injury or death.
• Ki Mobility does not recommend balancing on just the rear wheels with the front
casters off the ground (also known as doing a "wheelie"). A fall or tip over is very
likely and could result in damage to your wheelchair, serious injury or death. If you
choose to ignore this warning, do not attempt a wheelie unless you have been
trained by a clinical or technical professional. You should always have the
assistance of an able-bodied person prepared to prevent you from exceeding your
tipping point.
