BOSS 4.5, RF, P3 & P4 OWNERS MANUAL 3
NOTE: MODIFYING AND/OR TAMPERING IN ANY UNAUTHORIZED MANNER WITH THE
POWER WHEELCHAIR WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MAY CAUSE THE WHEELCHAIR TO
MALFUNCTION, EXPOSING YOU TO PHYSICAL HARM.
ATTENTION: This manual contains specifi c information about your power wheelchair. While some of
the information is the same for all power wheelchairs, make sure that you follow the specifi cations and
directions that apply to your powerchair. If you are unsure of the style powerchair you have, contact
your dealer.
Your powerchair is a vehicle which provides independence and freedom to people with limited mobility.
Driver error can cause injury to the driver and to other people. Please use common sense, courtesy, and
obey the following guidelines for vehicle operation.
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
Safety Guidelines
Always
turn the power switch to the OFF position when stopped or when getting off or on the power wheel-
chair. This keeps you from accidentally hitting the throttle and causing an accident. For persons with
limited lower body strength, or persons who make slide transfers and may forget to turn the power
switch off, we recommend special caution.
DO NOT
operate the unit if it behaves erratically, or shows abnormal response, heating, smoking or arcing.
Turn the system off at once and call your dealer for service.
Use extra caution
when riding your power wheelchair off of the pavement or on rough, soft or uneven surfaces
due to risk of tipping and injury. Refer to the maximum incline rating on the specifi cation chart.
Do not exceed
the incline specifi cations for your power wheelchair or it will become unstable and tipping will
result. Persons with limited ability to protect themselves (like persons paralyzed on one side) should
use protective equipment such as bicycle headgear. The specifi cation chart in your manual will indicate
the maximum incline for your particular style power wheelchair.
Keep your feet
on the footrests while riding the power wheelchair to avoid hitting them on objects as you
drive. Always wear shoes while operating your power wheelchair.
Always
wear your lap belt when riding your power wheelchair.
Secure
the removable seat assembly before operating the power wheelchair to prevent yourself from falling
from the seat while moving.
Remember,
The power wheelchair is built to carry a single person. Do not carry passengers under any cir-
cumstances or accidents and bodily injury might occur.
Ensure
driving surface, ramp, platform lift or elevator is capable of supporting combined weight of user and
wheelchair.
Always
go straight up or down curb cuts. You want the front wheels and the rear wheels to climb up or go down
together, not one at a time. Not doing this will result in the power wheelchair violently swinging from
side to side (as a car would in a ditch) or the power wheelchair overturning. Also approach curb access
ramps the same way, straight on, not at an angle.
NEVER
attempt to go up or down a regular height curb
or tipping and personal injury will result!
