conquered the obstacle. Negotiating an obstacle at an angle 
may cause your wheelchair to tip over. Don't do it! 

2.12.9 When climbing down a curb, slow down just before you get to it 

and only speed up after the entire wheelchair has lowered to the 
road.   

2.12.10 Again, descending obstacles should be done perpendicularly. 

(See Figure 2.6)   

2.12.11 Karma does not design wheelchairs to take jumps over or off 

obstacles. Doing so will void your warranty. 

 

WARNING: 

 

Do not set the wheelchair in freewheel mode when on an incline or 

decline. 

 

If the chair breaks down on railroad tracks, first, check for an 

oncoming train. If a train is coming, get out of its way immediately! 

If no train is coming, set the chair to freewheel mode and push the 

wheelchair off the tracks. 

2.13 Maximum User Weight Limit 

2.13.1 Refer to "Max. User Weight" in Section SPECIFICATIONS.     
2.13.2 Loading exceeding maximum capacity can damage your 

wheelchair and cause malfunctions yielding a safety hazard. The 
warranty does not cover damage caused by improper operation 
of the wheelchair.
