4.4 Storing
Make sure the wheelchair is folded when stored.
SUGGESTION:
● Please store the wheelchair in a location where it is out of direct sunlight, rain and
dew. For more details, consult your KARMA dealer.
WARNING:
● Don't put anything on the wheelchair while it is in storage.
Storing goods on a folded or unfolded wheelchair will cause
damage and is not covered under warranty. (See Right
Figure.)
4.5 Transportation
4.5.1 KM-1514 fulfils the performance requirements for a “Crash Test” of ISO
7176-19 and is suitable to use as a seat in vehicles that have been adapted for
this purpose. The wheelchair must be securely restrained as described in this
manual. KM-1514 was tested with a four point webbing system. For further
information on the use of wheelchair restraints please refer to the
manufacturer's user guide.
4.5.2 KARMA always recommend that the user transfers to the vehicle seat, because
using a wheelchair as a seat in a vehicle does not provide the equivalent level
of safety of a vehicle seating system.
SUGGESTION:

Please transfer to a vehicle seat in the vehicle in all permitted cases.
WARNING:

As of this date, the KM-1504 cannot be used as seats in any vehicles. That is,
KARMA recommends that users are NOT transported in any vehicle while
seated in the wheelchair. In the case of accident or a sudden stop, the user or
passengers may be at risk of getting injury. The suggested solution is to
transfer the user from the wheelchair into a vehicle seat and to securely stow
the wheelchair in a separate compartment.
