wheelchair.
6.5 spray test
●
KARMA has tested its powered wheelchair in accordance with ISO 7176 Part 9 spray Test. This test
provides the end user or his/her attendant sufficient time to remove his/her powered wheelchair from a
rainstorm and retain operation. However, the Morgan series is not designed for usage in rain or storms or
under other circumstances where it may be exposed to high levels of moisture, such as:
•
deep pools of water
•
pressure washing of the chair
•
leaving the chair in moist areas such as bathrooms
●
Direct exposure to rain or dampness could cause the powered wheelchair to malfunction electrically and
mechanically and may cause the powered wheelchair to prematurely rust.
●
Salt water can be particularly damaging to the wheelchair components and electrical circuits, causing
rust or damage.
●
Do not use the chair if the joystick rubber boot is damaged in any way as moisture can damage the
control system.
●
Should your chair should get wet, please dry it as soon as possible to help avoid any damage.
6.6 Stairways
●
DO NOT attempt to move an occupied powered wheelchair between floors using a stairway. (See Figure
1)
●
Use an elevator to move an occupied powered wheelchair between floors. When it's necessary to move
the chair between floors by means of a stairway, the occupant MUST be moved and transported
independently of the powered wheelchair. Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move an
UNOCCUPIED powered wheelchair up or down stairs.
●
Karma recommends disassembling the wheelchair and transporting the components independently up
or down stairs. Make sure to use ONLY secure, non-detachable parts on each component for hand-hold
supports.
●
DO NOT attempt to lift a powered wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of
removable (detachable) parts may result in injury to the user or assistants or damage to the wheelchair.
