A. Your Safety and Stability

Ki Mobility manufactures many different wheelchairs that might meet your needs. You should
consult an Assistive Technology Professional when selecting which model would best meet your
particular requirements and how the wheelchair should be set up and adjusted. Final selection of
the type of wheelchair, options and adjustments rests solely with you and your medical
professional. The options you choose and the set-up and adjustment of the wheelchair have a
direct impact on its stability. 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 change to any of thes e items will change the stability of your wheelchair. You
should only make changes after consulting with a qualified professional.

IV. WARNINGS

B. General Warnings

WARNING: Do not exceed the weight limit of 200 pounds for the Rogue XP. This is the
combined weight of user and all items carried. Exceeding the weight limit can cause
damage to your chair or increase the likelihood of a fall or tip back resulting in severe injury
or death to the user or others.

DANGER: Do not use this chair for weight training.The movement of the additional weight

will alter the center of gravity of the wheelchair increasing the likelihood of a tip-over which
can cause damage to your chair or cause severe injury or death to the user or others.

WARNING: If your wheelchair is equipped with inflatable tires, make sure the tires have
been inflated to the correct tire pressure as indicated on the side wall of the tire. Your

wheelchair provider can determine if you have inflatable tires. Using your wheelchair without
properly inflated tires can have an effect on the stability of the wheelchair causing it to tip over
resulting in death or injury to the user or others.

DANGER: Do not attempt to push your wheelchair up or down ramps or traverse across a
slope of greater than 9 degrees. This is dangerous and increases the likelihood of a fall or tip

back resulting in severe injury or death to the user or others.

WARNING: Do not attempt to push your wheelchair up an incline that is slick or coated
with ice, oil or water. This can cause an unstable situation resulting in death or injury to the
user or others.

DANGER: Do not lean over the side or back of the wheelchair to extend your reach. This

may cause you to fall out of the whee lchair or the wheelchair to tip over resulting in injury or death.

This could cause serious damage and affect the safety and durability of

C. Positioning Belts

Positioning belts are designed to assist with proper positioning within the wheelchair. They are
not designed as seat belts. Use positioning belts ONLY to help support the user’s posture.
Misuse of positioning belts may cause severe injury to or death of the user.

• Ensure the user does not slide underneath the positioning belt in the wheelchair seat. If this
occurs, the user’s breathing may be hampered causing death or serious injury.

• The positioning belt should have a snug fit; tight enough to hold their position, but not so
tight as to restrict breathing. Y o u s h o u l d b e a b l e t o s l i d e y o ur hand between the positioning
belt and the user.

• NEVER Use Positioning Belts:

a. As a restraint. A restraint requires a doctor’s order.

b. On a user who is unconscious.

c. As an occupant restraint in a motor vehicle. A positioning belt is not designed to

replace a seat belt that is attached to the frame of a vehicle, which would be required
of an effective seat belt. During a sudden stop, with the force of the stop, the user
would be thrown forward. Wheelchair seat belts will not prevent this, and further
injury may result from the belts or straps.

DANGER: Failure to comply with the instruction above could result in serious injury or death.

• Have at least two people, who have sufficient strength and skill to handle the weight of the
user and wheelchair, assist when trying to go up a set of stairs in this wheelchair.

• Move the wheelchair and user backwards up the stairs.

• Position one person behind the user, one person in front. The person in front must hold
onto a non-removable part of the wheelchair.

• The rear attendant tilts the chair back and they both lift together. Take one step at a time.

• This may require the anti-tips be flipped up or removed. Make sure the anti-tips are
reattached or flipped back down before using the wheelchair.

DANGER: Failure to comply with the instructions above could result in serious injury or death.

G. Descending Stairs

• When descending a set of stairs the user should be facing forward.

• A person behind the user, who has sufficient strength and skill to handle the weight of the
user and the wheelchair, should tilt the chair backward and let the chair down the stairs
one step at a time on the rear wheels.

• This may require that anti-tips be flipped up or removed. Make sure the anti-tips are
reattached or flipped back down before using the wheelchair.

DANGER: Failure to comply with the instructions above could result in serious injury or death.

IV. WARNINGS

H. Transfers

A transfer requires good balance and stability. You should receive training from your therapist
before attempting to do a transfer on your own.

• Before transferring out of your wheelchair every caution should be taken to reduce the gap
between the two surfaces.

• Engage the wheel locks to lock the rear wheels.

• Rotate the casters forward to increase the wheelbase of the wheelchair.

• Remove or swing away the footrests.

• Have someone assist you unless you are well experienced in transfers.

It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance and agility. Be aware there is a
point during every transfer when the wheelchair seat is not below you.

WARNING: Failure to comply with the instructions above may cause a fall or loss of
control, which may result in serious injury or death.

I. Your Wheelchair and the Environment

• Your wheelchair is made of many different materials including metal and fabric.
Exposure to water or excessive moisture may cause the metal in the wheelchair to rust
or corrode and the fabric to tear. Dry your chair as soon as possible if exposed to water.

• DO NOT USE YOUR WHEELCHAIR IN A SHOWER, POOL OR BODY OF WATER. This will
cause your wheelchair to rust or corrode and eventually fail.

• Do not operate your wheelchair in sand. Sand can get into the wheel bearings and moving
parts. This will cause damage and eventually will cause the wheelchair to fail.

• Make sure any ramp, slope or curb cut you may attempt to ride on is compliant with ADA
guidelines. Riding across, up or down any slope that is too great may cause a loss of
stability.

ADA Guidelines and more information about accessible design are available at:

serious injury or death.

K. Wheelchair Stability

To ensure proper stability of your wheelchair, you must make sure the center of gravity and the
wheelchairs base of support is correct for your balance and abiliti es. Many factors can affect these
two elements;

• Seat height

•Seat depth

•Back angle

Generally, the most important factor is the position of the rear wheels for rearward stability. There
are other actions than can have an adverse effect on your stability. You should consult with your
wheelchair provider and clinicians familiar with your nee ds and capabilities in determining how this
affects your use.

WARNING: Moving the rear wheels forward increases the likelihood of the wheelchair
tipping backwards. Make small adjustments and proceed slowly until you learn the new balance

point of your wheelchair. Failure to comply with the instruction above could result in serious injury
or death.

WARNING: The farther rearward you place the front casters the greater the likelihood of
the wheelchair tipping forwards. If possible, have your casters mounted forward and whenever

doing a static activity which involves shifting your weight, rotate the casters forward to increase
your wheel base. Failure to comply with this instruction above could result in serious injury or
death.

• Size and position of rear wheels

• Size and position of front casters

• Any seating system components

F. Armrest Warnings

• All Ki Mobility armrests are designed to detach from the chair and will not bear the weight
of this chair.

• NEVER lift this chair by its armrests. The armrests will release and the user may fall.

• Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.

WARNING: Failure to heed these instructions may result in a fall, tip-over or loss of control
causing severe injury to the user or others.

G. Center of Gravity Adjustment

The most important adjustment on your Rogue XP wheelchair is the position of the rear axle.

You can adjust your center of gravity by moving the two camber mount clamps (Fig. 8:A) forward
or rearward on the seat tube (Fig. 8:B).

Moving the camber mount clamps forward shortens the wheelbase and lightens the front end,
making your chair more maneuverable. Moving the camber mounts rearward makes the chair
more stable and less likely to tip over rearward.

NOTE: Changes to the center of gravity may affect the rear seat height (see Rear Seat Height
Adjustment on page 31), toe-in / toe-out of the rear wheels (see Setting Toe to Zero on page 25)

and the squareness of the casters (see Caster Angle Adjustment on page 32). If you change your
center of gravity position, readjust all of these settings if necessary.

NOTE: Adjusting your chair’s center of gravity will require readjusting the location of the wheel
locks (if provided). See Wheel Locks on page 43 for instructions on adjusting the wheel locks.

G. Center of Gravity Adjustment

To adjust the center of gravity location:

a. Remove both rear wheels.
b. Loosen the two screws (Fig. 9:C) and nuts that secure the camber mounts (Fig. 9:A and B)

to the seat tubes on each side of the frame.

c. Grasp both sides of the camber tube and move the camber mounts forward or rearward

along the seat tube, aligning holes on frame with holes on camber mount (Fig. 9:D).

d. Make sure the mounts on both sides of the frame are adjusted equally on both sides of the

frame before reinserting screws and nuts. Tighten until secure.

e. Once the camber mount clamps are secured, attach the rear wheels, occupy the chair and

manuever it with a spotter to get a feel for the new adjustment.

WARNING: The more you move your rear wheels forward, the more likely your chair will tip over
backwards. Always make adjustments in small increments and check the stability of your chair
with a spotter to prevent a tip over. We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to
the change and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.

DANGER: Failure to heed these warnings may cause serious injury or death.

H. Wheel Camber

Wheel camber, shown as an angular relationship (Fig. 10) and (Fig. 11), provides greater side-to­side stability due to the increased width and angle of the wheelbase. It also allows for quicker
turning and greater access to the top of the handrims.

Wheel camber is determined by pairs of interchangeable camber adapters (Fig. 12:B) which are
available from your authorized supplier in 0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, and 8° angles.

I. Wheelbase Width Adjustment

Adjusting the wheelbase width allows the rider the option to move the wheels closer or further
away from the hips. It also compensates for camber adjustment and gives the proper wheel
spacing to maximize pushing efficiency.

Adjust the wheelbase width:

1. Loosen the nut (Fig. 13:A) with a 24mm wrench and turn the threaded axle sleeve (Fig. 13:B) in
or out to the desired width.

2. Retighten nut.

3. Repeat on opposite side.

J. Setting Toe to Zero

NOTE: A wheelchair equipped with 0° camber adapter cannot have a toe-in-toe-out condition.
This adjustment is only required when using 2°, 4°, 6° and 8° camber adapters.

Toe refers to how well the rear wheels of the chair are aligned relative to the ground. It affects how
well the chair will roll. Drag or rolling resistance is optimally minimized when the wheel toe is set to
zero.

Setting the toe to zero:

1. Loosen the two cap screws (Fig. 14:A) (1 per side) that secure the camber tube clamp. Then

loosen set screws (Fig. 14:E), 2 per side.

2. Rotate the camber tube (Fig. 14:C) until the screws (Fig. 14:D) that secure the camber

adapters are level with the ground. The toe is now set at zero.

3. Before tightening the screws (Fig. 14:A and B), make certain that the camber tube is centered

left-to-right relative to the wheelchair frame. There should be an equal gap on both sides or
none at all.

4. Tighten one screw to 80 in/lb (Fig. 14:A) then tighten the screw on the opposite side to 80

in/lbs.

5. Tighten set screws (Fig. 14:B) until securely in place.
