This will give you deeper insight as to why the Karman VIP 515 was designed specifically to prevent against any signs, symptoms of dis regulated postural blood pressure, and rather alleviate or prevent against such fluctuations.
Check tire pressure regularly
- Apply brakes when stationary
- Lubricate bearings and inspect frame for wear
- Avoid rough terrain wherever possible or be aware of inclement weather affecting pavements and roads. Use Ramps as much as possible to prevent dirt, gravel or challenges or unwanted damage to your wheelchair frame or tires.
- Maintain proper tire inflation
These steps help extend the life of the chair and ensure safe, smooth operation.
-Wipe down with leather or upholstery shampoo on a slightly damp sponge and do not make it soak or drip water or liquids. Excessive exposure to humidity and water can inevitably degrade the overall quality and function of your wheelchair and render it void for warranty purposes, especially if it occured before the expiration of your warranty.
