III. NOTICE - READ BEFORE USE
A. Intended Use
Ki Mobility Manual Wheelchairs are manually operated devices with wheels that are intended for
medical purposes to provide mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position.
B. Your Safety
Any serious adverse events or injuries related to the use of your wheelchair or its
accessories must be reported immediately if the incident directly or indirectly leads to
serious health decline or death of the user or other person. Report any serious events
and/or injuries to Ki Mobility and, if required by local regulation, the competent health
authority where the user and/or other person legally reside.
Do not use this wheelchair without first reading this entire manual. BEFORE riding, you should
be trained in the safe use of this chair by an Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) or other
competent clinical or technical professional. Ki Mobility manufactures many different
wheelchairs that might meet your needs. The recognized best practice for selecting a wheelchair
is to consult with an ATP or other competent technical professional and an experienced clinical
professional such as a physical therapist, occupational therapist or physician. Final selection of
the type of wheelchair, options and adjustments rests solely with you and your technical and
clinical professionals. The options you choose, and the set-up and adjustment of the wheelchair
have a direct impact on its performance, stability and its ability to meet your needs. Factors to
consider that affect your safety and stability are:
a. Your personal abilities and capabilities including strength, balance and coordination.
b. The types of hazards and obstacles you might encounter during your day.
c. The specific dimensions, options and set up. In particular, the seat height, seat depth,
seat angle, back angle, size and position of the rear wheels and size and position of the
front casters.

any notes, cautions or warnings. Make sure to follow all instructions and use your chair safely.
