ROVI-MPS SYSTEM
3.3.2 POWER RECLINE FUNCTION
The RECLINE function allows for adjustment of the seat-to-back angle on the Rovi-MPS System.
RECLINE RANGE OF TRAVEL
The Rovi-MPS System allows the back angle to be infinitely adjusted within the established recline range (from
93°
up to a maximum of
168°
recline). This recline range is only available when the Rovi-MPS system is in the
HOME (non-elevated/non-standing) position
. (
Note:
In the standing position, the recline angle is designed to
achieve up to a maximum of 178° of recline)
.
The Recline function comes standard with
Extended Shear Reduction (ESR)
. The ESR feature is designed
to synchronize with the recline function (via linkages) to reduce the amount of shear between the end user and the
backrest when the seating system is reclined, as well as when the system transitions to the Standing position.
RECLINE - LOCKOUTS & LIMITS:
The Rovi-MPS System is programmed with a
Drive Lockout (DLO)
limit to prevent the wheelchair from being
driven when the seating system is reclined (or tilted) beyond a safe angle. The DLO Limit is typically set to
engage once the recline or tilted back angle reaches 30° (when Reduced Drive Speed (RDS) is programmed);
or when the tilt and/or recline angle reaches 25° (if Reduced Drive Speed is not programmed). Refer to
Section
4.3
for detailed information on the recommended Safety Limit and Lockout Settings.
When the Rovi-MPS System is in an ELEVATED or STANDING position, there will be LIMITED Recline function
available; The range of recline will be reduced due to the Drive Lockout (DLO) Limit, and also due the restricted
range of motion available at the full Standing position.
3.3.3 POWER CENTER MOUNT LEGREST FUNCTION
WARNING! Risk of serious injury or damage
• ALWAYS maintain a minimum of
3 inches
between bottom of the front riggings and the floor/ground
while the wheelchair is in motion to ensure proper ground clearance. If necessary, elevate the front rigging
or tilt seat to achieve proper ground clearance.
The Rovi-MPS System comes configured with our
Power Articulating Belt-Drive Center Mount Legrest
to secure and position the users legs. The power CM Legrest is preset to a +7
°
(83
°
) angle (from vertical)
and allows for adjustment to the knee-to-heel length, calf pads and footplates. The CM Legrest is also
designed to allow the fitting of an adjustable/removable Knee Bolster for lower leg support in the Standing
position.
(Detailed adjustment/ set-up instructions for the power CM Legrest are provided in
Section 5.7
).
POWER CM LEGREST RANGE OF TRAVEL:
The Power CM Legrest will provide up to
55°
of extension at full articulation, and knee-to-heel (KTH) adjustments
from 13” (33cm) - 18” (46cm).
(
Note:
The full range of legrest function is only available when the seating
system is in the HOME position and/or throughout the Tilt function).
The Rovi-MPS System is programmed with a
Drive Lockout (DLO)
limit to prevent the wheelchair from being
driven when the seating system is tilted (or reclined) beyond a designated safe angle. The DLO Limit is typically
set to engage once the tilt and/or recline angle reaches 30° (if Reduced Drive Speed (RDS) is programmed);
or 25° (if Reduced Drive Speed is not programmed)
.
Refer to
Section 4.3
for detailed information on the
recommended Safety Limit and Lockout Settings.

WARNING! Risk of injury
• Operating/extending the CM Legrest with the knee block in place may cause increased pressure/force
on the users legs if not adjusted correctly; When operating the Power Legrest (in the lowered seat (non-
standing) position), it is recommended that the knee block assembly be placed in the stored position.
