WARNING
There are many risks involved with improper disposal of batteries, whether damaged or not.
Batteries may contain heavy metals and be considered hazardous waste.
Many regions around the world now strictly enforce laws to help protect our environment. By not
disposing of batteries properly, you may be liable for fines from your local through national
government.
By not recycling batteries, they end up in landfills where lead and other chemicals may leach into
streams and rivers destroying ecosystems and poisoning local water resources.
Improper disposal of batteries may also cause injury to unsuspecting others that come in contact
with them. If you come in contact with fluids or corroded powder from a battery, rinse with water
and contact a physician if necessary. If contact with eyes occurs, rinse for 15 minutes and then visit a
physician.
DO NOT incinerate or burn the battery. It will cause it to explode!
Please see the end of chapter: Cleaning & Recycling for more information.
SUGGESTION
If necessary or if you have any question in the above procedures, ask for help from your local KARMA
wheelchair dealer for cleaning and replacing the batteries.
19.4. Tires
- The condition of the tires is affected by the way you drive and use your wheelchair.
- Inspecting Tire Tread: please check the tread depth regularly.
- Replace the tires when the tread depth is less than 0.5 mm.
- The tires could be pneumatic or PU tires. It depends on the specification of the wheelchair. If they are
pneumatic tires, please refer to the tires pressure specified on the tire walls to maintain the tires at the
correct pressure. Do not let anyone touch the wheels when the wheelchair is in motion to avoid pinch
injury.
CAUTION
When the tread depth is below 1 mm, the tire does not have good traction. This may lead to
vehicle slippage and makes braking distances much longer. Thus, go to your Karma dealer to
replace the tire as soon as possible if it has less than a 1 mm tread depth.
The tire pressure of all the front casters and the rear wheels must be kept at 35-40 PSI (approx.
2.46~2.81 kg/cm or 2.415~2.76 bar=241-276 kPa) for the best drive range (maximum distance
travelled per charge) and usage/ handling. Please refer to the tire pressure specified on the tire
walls to maintain the tires at the correct pressure.
Since the wheelchair is rather heavy, it is recommended to let your authorized supplier repair eventual tire
punctures. First lift the wheelchair so that the punctured tire is free from the ground. Both front and rear
wheel tires can be taken off by loosening the 3 bolts (B) which hold the wheels on to the wheelchair.
