YOU AND YOUR KARMAN SERVICE PROVIDER 

  No tools are required for assembly.    Your wheelchair should be assembled by 

your authorized Karma dealer.    Your authorized Karma dealer is also your 
service provider. Unauthorized repairs, upgrades and add-ons will negate your 
warranty.    Anything wheelchair related that requires tools should be done by 
your authorized Karma service provider.    Your Karma service provider has the 
necessary service/maintenance owner’s(manual) for your wheelchair. 

  If you have any defective parts or lose any parts, please contact your dealer for 

repair and/or replacement. Please only use parts authorized by Karma.    Use of 
parts that are not authorized by Karma will negate your warranty. 

  Part numbers are listed on our bill of materials (explosion drawings), which we 

give to our authorized dealers and service providers. Customers should order 
parts through their dealer as well as all repairs and scheduled maintenance. 

  Customers should go to their dealership for all service needs to guarantee their 

warranty is not nullified. Always go to an authorized service provider. 
Unauthorized repairs will nullify your warranty. Procedures other than those 
described in this owner’s(manual) must be performed by a qualified technician.   
They also have the service owner’s(manual) with a complete list of maintenance 
required to keep your Karma wheelchair in top performance.    Check the 
warranty section of this owner’s(manual) to find out what Karma guarantees and 
what maintenance and parts you will have to pay for. 

  Karma does not have an official list of service providers at this time.    Please 

contact your dealer for service.    If you cannot contact your dealer, please 
contact another authorized Karma dealer for service.    If all else fails, contact 
Karma directly via our website or give us a call and we can refer you to your new 
service provider.

Before  purchasing  and  using  Karma  wheelchairs,  please  consult  qualified 
professionals so as to ensure that you choose suitable products and use them
