CAUTION:
If you find anything abnormal, stop using the wheelchair immediately and visit a
KARMA wheelchair dealer for inspection and maintenance.
As with any wheelchair, the wheels and tyres(tires) should be checked periodically
for cracks and wear, and should be replaced. Failure to keep tyres(tires) at the
correct pressure will reduce the braking efficiency.
CAUTION:
Never disassemble or modify the wheelchair frame structure. Otherwise, injury or
damage may occur. This will negate the warranty.
