WARNNING

As a manufacturer of power scooters, KARMA endeavors to supply a wide variety of power
scooters to meet the many needs of the user. However, the responsibility of final selection of the
type of power scooter to be used by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her healthcare
professional capable of making such a selection.
KARMA recommends that power scooter users NOT be transported in vehicles of any kind while
in a power scooter.
As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems for
transportation of a user while on a power scooter in a moving vehicle of any type. It is the
position of Karma that users of power scooters should be transferred into appropriate seating in
vehicles for transportation and make use of the restraints made available by the auto industry.
Karma cannot and does not recommend any power scooter transportation systems.
It is the responsibility of the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Dealer, therapists and other
healthcare professionals to determine if a seat-positioning strap is required to ensure the safe
operation of this equipment by the user. Serious injury can occur in the event of a fall from a
power scooter.

Performance adjustments should ONLY be made by professionals of the healthcare
