3. INTENDED USE & PARTS 

3.1 Intended Use 

 

3.1.1 The KM-1000 series is a self-propelled or transit wheelchair.    That is, it 

can either be propelled by an attendant (transit) or by the user 

(self-propelled). 

3.1.2 The KM-1000 series is suitable for users up to 115 kg in weight. Hand 

brakes are provided for both rear wheels. 

3.1.3 It is equipped with solid tyres (tires). It also has an extremely durable 

aluminium alloy frame with tough accessories and does not suffer in 

dramatic extremes of temperature (neither user nor attendant need 
touch any metal parts in normal use). 

3.1.4 The castors (casters) have PU tyres (tires) for greater durability; 

pneumatic castors (casters) are available on request. 

3.1.5 Spoked rear wheels are 24 inches in diameter with micro-cellular tyres 

(tires). 

3.1.6 When prescribing wheelchairs for use by full or partial amputees (above 

or below knee, single or double) or other conditions that affects the 
users natural centre of gravity, we suggest contacting your therapist or 

dealer as well as attaching anti-tippers. The wheelchair has been 
designed to allow the rear wheels to be set back for amputees.
