III. NOTICE - READ BEFORE USE
G. General Warnings and Cautions (Continued)
WARNING: Depending on your skin and other conditions related to your disability you may
develop irritations or abrasions from prolonged contact with or rubbing against the
surfaces of your wheelchair. Irritation and abrasions can lead to further complications
from skin breakdown which can be serious.
Ki Mobility recommends wearing clothing or other protected coverings over skin that is resting
or rubbing against components or the frame of your wheelchair. If you have skin breakdown or
other tissue integrity issues you should discontinue use and seek advice from a clinical
professional trained in skin care such as a doctor, nurse, or a therapist. Always follow the advice
of the clinical professionals caring for your skin and wear recommended dressings and/or
coverings to protect your skin.
H. 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.

moving parts. This will cause damage and eventually will cause the wheelchair to
fail.
