a seating disabled person.
B. Your Safety
Any serious adverse events or injuries related to the use of your mobility base or its
accessories must be reported immediately if the incident directly or indirectly leads to
serious health decline or death of the child or other person. Report any serious events
and/or injuries to Ki Mobility and, if required by local regulation, the competent health
authority where the child and/or other person legally reside.
Do not use this mobility base without first reading this entire manual. BEFORE riding, you should
be trained in the safe use of this mobility base by an Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) or
other competent clinical or technical professional. The recognized best practice for selecting a
mobility base is to consult with an ATP or other competent technical professional and an
experienced clinical professional such as a physical therapist, occupational therapist or
physician. Final selection of the type of mobility base, options and adjustments rests solely with
you and your technical and clinical professionals. The options chose, and the set-up and
adjustment of the mobility base have a direct impact on its performance, stability and its ability
to meet the rider needs. Factors to consider that affect safety and stability are:
a. The personal abilities and capabilities of the user including strength, balance and
coordination.
b. The types of hazards and obstacles you might encounter during your day.
c. The specific dimensions, options and set up. In particular, the seat height, seat depth,
seat angle, back angle, size and position of the rear wheels and size and position of the
front casters.
C. Signal Words
Within this manual you will find what are referred to as "Signal" words. These words are used to
identify and convey the severity of varying hazards. Before using this mobility base you, and
each person who may assist you, should read this entire manual. Please note the Signal word
and consider any notes, cautions or warnings. Make sure to follow all instructions and use your
mobility base safely. The Signal word refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that may cause
severe injury or death to you or to other persons. The "Warnings" are in three main categories,
as follows:
NOTE – Note indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in a decline in the performance of the mobility base or damage to your mobility base.
CAUTION: Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in damage to your mobility base and injury to you.
WARNING: Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in serious injury or death.
These signal words will be placed throughout the manual, where appropriate to highlight the
hazardous situation. Refer to Section F. for hazardous situations that will apply to the general use
of this mobility base.
