DANGER: Sitting for long periods of time without a proper wheelchair
cushion can cause pressure ulcers which can be serious in nature and
result in death.
b) The standard sling upholstery is provided with loop Velcro type fastener
strips. The cushion being used should have hook Velcro type fasteners
that can engage the loop of the seat sling to keep the cushion from
sliding out from under you. Make sure the cushion is securely attached
before transferring or sitting in the wheelchair.
c) A standard seat sling may not have been provided with your chair. Check
with your wheelchair provider if an aftermarket replacement to the original
equipment sling has been provided. If so, make sure you follow the
instructions for the use provided by the aftermarket manufacturer.
V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
V. Seat Sling

NOTE– The seat sling folding strap is not intended as a carrying strap.
W. Cushion Installation
a) The Catalyst was designed to be used with a proper wheelchair cushion.
WARNING: Failure to secure a cushion can cause it to slide out during use or
transfers and could result in a fall or loss of control and cause severe injury or death.

A. Inspecting Your Wheelchair
Regular and routine maintenance will extend the life of your wheelchair while
improving its performance. Wheelchair repairs and the replacement of parts
should be done by a qualified technician of an authorized Ki Mobility Supplier.
1. General Inspections
a) Clean your chair at least once per month. You may need to clean your
chair more frequently if you operate it in dirty environments, such as a
work site.
b) Check to be sure that all fasteners are tight. Unless otherwise noted, fas ‐
teners should be tightened to 40 in./lbs.
c) Check Tires and Casters:

Check the tire for tread wear. Replace the tires if the tread is worn off or
has flat spots or visible cracks.

If you have inflatable tires with a valve stem, check the pressure and set
to the pressure listed on the tire sidewall.
VI. MAINTENANCE
DANGER: Replace worn tires. The wheel locks will not grip properly if you
fail to maintain the air pressure shown on tire sidewall. This could result in
a fall or loss of control and cause severe injury or death.
d) Check spoke wheels for loose spokes.
e) Check your wheel locks. As tires wear the wheel locks should be adjusted.
See R. Wheel Locks on Page 31.
f) Check your upholstery for tears or sagging. Your upholstery is designed to
be tightened because it will stretch over time. See Q. Upholstery Fabric
on Page. 30
