A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS
Ki Mobility provides a choice of many wheelchair styles to meet the needs of the
wheelchair rider. However, final selection of the type of wheelchair, options and
adjustments rests solely with you and your health care advisor. Choosing the best
chair and set-up for your safety depends on such things as:
1. Your disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (where you live and work,
and other places you are likely to use your chair).
3. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as anti-tip tubes,
positioning belts, or special seating systems).
B. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN
Before using this chair you, and each person who may assist you, should read this
entire manual and make sure to follow all instructions. Review the warnings often,
until they are second nature to you.
C. WARNINGS
The word “WARNING” refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that may cause
severe injury or death to you or to other persons. The “Warnings” are in four main
sections, as follows:
1. V — GENERAL WARNINGS
Here you will find a safety checklist and a summary of risks you need to be aware
of before you ride this chair.
2. VI — WARNINGS — FALLS & TIP-OVERS
Here you will learn how to avoid a fall or tip-over while you perform daily
activities in your chair.
3. VII — WARNINGS — FOR SAFE USE
Here you will learn about practices for the safe use of your chair
4. VIII — WARNINGS — COMPONENTS & OPTIONS
Here you will learn about the components of your chair and options you can select
for safety. Consult your authorized supplier and your health care advisor to help
you choose the best set-up and options for safe use.

to your level of function and ability.
4. NEVER try a new maneuver on your own until you are sure you can do it
safely.
5. Get to know the areas where you plan to use your chair. Look for hazards
and learn how to avoid them.
6. Use anti-tip tubes unless you are a skilled rider of this chair and are sure you

V . General Warnings
K. WHEN YOU NEED HELP
For The Rider:
Make sure that each person who helps you reads and follows all warnings and
instructions that apply.
For Attendants:
1. Work with the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist to learn safe methods best
suited to your abilities and those of the rider.
2. Tell the rider what you plan to do, and explain what you expect the rider to do.
This will put the rider at ease and reduce the risk of an accident.
3. Make sure the chair has push handles. They provide secure points for you to
hold the rear of the chair to prevent a fall or tip-over. Check to make sure push
handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
4. To prevent injury to your back, use good posture and proper body mechanics.
When you lift or support the rider or tilt the chair, bend your knees slightly
and keep your back as upright and straight as you can.
5. Remind the rider to lean back when you tilt the chair backward.
6. When you descend a curb or single step, slowly lower the chair in one easy
movement. Do not let the chair drop the last few inches to the ground. This
may damage the chair or injure the rider.
7. To avoid tripping, unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the way.
8. ALWAYS lock the rear wheels and lock anti-tip tubes in place if you must
leave the rider alone, even for a moment. This will reduce the risk of a tip-
over or loss of control of the chair.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss
of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

V I . Warnings: Falls & Tip-Overs
A. CENTER OF BALANCE
The point where this chair will tip forward, back or to the side depends on its
center of balance and stability. How your chair is set up, the options you select and
the changes you make may affect the risk of a fall or tip-over.
1. The Most Important Adjustment Is:
a The position of the rear wheels. The more you move the rear wheels
forward, the more likely your chair will tip over backward.
2. The Center Of Balance Is Also Affected By:
a A change in the set-up of your chair, including:
• The distance between the rear wheels.
• The amount of rear wheel camber.
• The seat height and seat angle.
• Backrest angle.
b A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution.
c Riding your chair on a ramp or slope.
d The use of a back pack or other options and the amount of added
weight.
3. To Reduce The Risk Of An Accident:
a Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out what axle and caster
position is best for you.
b Consult your authorized supplier BEFORE you modify or adjust this
chair. Be aware that you may need to make other changes to correct
the center of balance.
c Have someone help you until you know the balance points of your
chair and how to avoid a tip-over.
d. Use anti-tip tubes.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
B DRESSING OR CHANGING CLOTHES
Your weight may shift if you dress or change clothes while seated in this chair.
To reduce the risk of a fall or tip-over:
1. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible. This makes
the chair more stable.
2. Lock anti-tip tubes in place. (If your chair does not have anti-tip tubes, back
it up against a wall and lock both rear wheels).
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss
of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
