2. SAFETY
2.1 Doorways
The safest way to operate the chair is on level floors that are free of obstacles.
Whenever possible use a ramp to enter or exit a facility. Keeping your hands
on the push rims will allow you to maintain maximum balance. Do not try to
force yourself over an obstruction by propulsion and never use the sides of a
doorway to pull yourself through a passageway.
2.2 Leaning
Do not lean over the side of your wheelchair since such an action may cause
your to lose balance and fall. (See Figure 2.2)
2.3 NavigatingInclines
Never turn on a hill due to the danger of tipping.
When pushing a wheelchair, go straight up a slope. If you need to go down,
walk backwards until user is on level ground. (See Figures 2.3 and 2.4)
Avoid stopping on an incline; it can potentially cause you to lose control of
the chair.
Do not use the parking brakes to slow down or stop the wheelchair; this
could cause it to seize up or pull to onside, causing you to lose control of the
wheelchair.
Whenever possible, navigate inclines with an attendant.
Operating limits: do not attempt to go or down slopes greater than 5 degree
without assistance.
2.4 Kerbs(Curbs)
Whenever possible get help from an assistant/attendant (if you have
assistance make sure that your chair is equipped with push handles).
Avoid hard impacts when descending a kerb(curb). A hard impact could
adversely affect the chair.
Never try to scale or descend kerb that exceed a normal height (30-50mm).
Always be careful when climbing kerb and never move up or down a curb in
reverse without an assistant.
2.5 Stairs
Always use two or more assistants. Tilt the wheelchair to its point of
equilibrium. One assistant (at the back) holds the wheelchair up against the
first step, gripping the handles firmly to lift. The second assistant, holding
firmly a fixed part of the front frame, lifts the wheelchair above the stairs and
holds it while the first attendant places one foot on the following step and
repeat the operation (See Figure 2.1)
Never go down steps forwards.
Never use an escalator for transport, use an elevator.
2.6 Streets
Always use extreme caution when crossing streets. Reflective tape on the
chair and/or your clothing will make you more visible to drivers.
Avoid potholes and rough terrain that might cause the castors to become
stuck. (See Figure 2.5)

3
2.7 General
Always make sure BOTH brakes are applied before getting in or out of the
chair.
Never stand on the footplates when getting in or out of the chair.
Never carry more than one passenger. Karma wheelchairs are designed
for one user.

Ensure that the heels rest against the heel supports to prevent contact with
the castors.
Release both hand brakes.
CAUTION:

of the chair is against a wall or, if not, it must be firmly held by an attendant.
Engage both hand brakes.
Turn the footplates up and swing them to the side.
Slide forwards on the seat. Place one foot firmly on the ground with the
knee at a right angle and the other foot slightly apart and further back.
Place your hands on the front of the armrests and moving your weight

become too worn. If pneumatic tires are fitted, please maintain at the
recommended tyre pressure for the same reason.
Please ensure that occupant's fingers do not get caught in the brake.
When transferring in and out of the chair, make sure that the brakes are applied

4.3.2 Tiltingby the Attendant
Make sure both the user's feet are on the footplates and will not slip off.
Make sure the handgrips are secure and cannot slip off.
Release both brakes.
Grasp both push handles firmly.
Put your stronger foot on the relevant tipping tube at the back of the chair.
Tell the person in the chair that you are about to tilt the chair backwards.
Pull back with both hands and push down and forwards with the foot. This
will bring the chair onto the back wheels. (See Figure 4.27)
CAUTION:
When a chair is tilted to about 25 degrees it will balance on its rear wheels
and be easy to hold. If it is tilted further back it will be difficult to hold and the
person in the chair will feel unsafe.
Lower with a straight back; keep your foot on the anti-tipper and lower the
chair slowly forwards softly to the ground.

12
4.3.3 Tiltingby the User
Make sure your feet are on the footplates and will not slip off.
Release both brakes.
Grasp both push rims and give a firm, sudden forward push immediately
before the obstacle, continue the momentum (be readyto keep pushing) until
the obstacle is mounted.
CAUTION:
This method should only be attempted by people experienced in wheelchair
use. Strong arms are also necessary. It is always better to have the help
of an attendant.
Leaning backwards causes the castors to rise higher BUT it is much safer to
lean forwards and stay balanced.
4.3.4 GoingDownKerbs(Curbs)
Please note: It is always better to avoid kerbs where possible by using ramped
curbs kerbs or slopes and this operation is best attempted with the aid of an
attendant.
4.3.4.1Going DownKerbs(Curbs)ForwardsWithanAttendant
CAUTION:
This is the more difficult method and can jar the user but allows a better view
of traffic.
Be careful that the anti-tipper does not get caught on the kerb(curb) causing
the user to fall.
NEVER ALLOW THE CHAIR TO TIP FORWARDS WHEN GOING DOWN
A KERB(CURB).
Positionthe chair so that the front castors are near the edge of the kerb(curb)
and make sure that the road is clear.
Move the chair slowlyand carefully forwards while tilting it back slightly. Be
ready to take the weight when the rear wheels cross the kerb (curb) edge.
Ensure that both rear wheels touch the ground at the same time to avoid
tipping the chair.
Gently lower the front castors (casters). AVOID JARRING THE USER.
4.3.4.2Going DownCurbsBackwardsWithanAttendant
CAUTION:
This is the easier and smoother method BUT it requires the attendant to step
backwards into the road.
Back the chair to the kerb edge and be careful that the back wheels are
equally near the edge.
Grasping the push handles, gently lower the rear wheels onto the road. Be
prepared to control the weight as it descends and ensure that the back
wheels touch ground at the same time.
Tilt the chair back slightly and pull the tilted chair far enough into the road so
that the castors and footrests can be lowered clear of the kerb (curb).

13
4.3.5 GoingUp Kerbs(Curbs)
Please note: This operation is best attempted with the aid of an attendant and
the best method is to go up kerbs forwards as this maintains the direction of
travel and is physically less demanding for the attendant.
4.3.5.1Going Up Kerbs(Curbs)ForwardsWithanAttendant
As the footrests nearly touch the kerb (curb) tilt the chair. The chair should
be tilted just high enough to allow the front casters to roll smoothly onto the
pavement.
Push the chair forward until the rear wheels are touching the curb. Then,
continuing the movement, lift at the push handles while moving the chair
forwards.
4.3.5.2Going Up KerbsBackwardsWithanAttendant
Please note: for safety's sake we do not recommend using this method.
4.3.6 Up and DownSteps/Stairs
Please note: avoid flights of steps particularly if no extra help is available. Use
ramps or lifts wherever possible.
Two attendants are necessary, each capable of carrying at least half of the
combined weight of the person and the wheelchair.
Each helper should bend at the knees and grip the main frame: with the front
attendants hands just under the front of the seat, with the back attendants’
hands holding the frame just under the push handles.
CAUTION:
Don’t attempt to lift the wheelchair byany removable (detachable) parts. Lifting
by means of any removable (detachable) parts of wheelchair may result ininjury
to the user and/or assistant or damage to the wheelchair.
CAUTION:
When transporting or lifting, never hold on to attachments or accessories
(front/rear wheels, handrims, castors, footrests, armrests, anti-tippers etc.).
All lifting should be done with a straight back. Straight legs to lift the chair.
Carefully carry it up or down steps; be aware of how you place your feet, do not
cross them and trip yourself up.
