Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between K1 and K2 wheelchair classifications?
K1 and K2 are Medicare wheelchair classification codes. K1 is a standard non-adjustable wheelchair; K2 is a standard hemi or lightweight wheelchair. This chair supports both classifications depending on how it is configured. Consult your prescribing clinician or DME supplier for the correct classification for your needs.

Can the seat height be lowered for foot propulsion?
Yes. The dual axle design allows the seat to be set to hemi height, which positions the seat lower to the floor so the user can propel the chair using their feet.

Are the footrests removable?
Yes. The swing-away footrests can be swung to the side or removed entirely, making it easier to transfer in and out of the chair and to position close to furniture or a vehicle.

What does the warranty cover?
This wheelchair includes a 3-year limited warranty. Refer to the manufacturer's warranty documentation for specific coverage terms and exclusions.
