DANGER! Failure to utilize the Stander safety accessories provided and/or failure to follow proper
adjustment procedures can result in serious injury or death.
• ALWAYS wear your Postural Belt when seated in the wheelchair. Your postural belt reduces the possibility
of a fall from the wheelchair- refer to
Section 5.14
• ALWAYS ensure the Chest Strap is properly adjusted and secured PRIOR to transitioning into the
stand position- refer to
Section 5.14
for detailed set-up/adjustment instructions
• ALWAYS ensure the Chest Bar is properly adjusted and locked into position PRIOR to transitioning into
the stand position- refer to
Section 5.13
for detailed set-up/adjustment instructions
• ALWAYS ensure the Knee Bolster is properly adjusted and locked into position PRIOR to transitioning into

ROVI-MPS SYSTEM
ROVI-MPS SYSTEM
NOTE:
The Rovi-MPS System uses a mechanical mechanism to lockout the front caster suspension, and
stabilize the wheelchair base as the seating system transitions into the full Standing position. The front caster
lockout is controlled via the CM Legrest. If power to the legrest was to become disconnected for any reason,
an electronic protection system is in place that will ‘lock-out’ the Stand function until the issue is corrected
.
3.3.5 STAND FUNCTION
The STAND function allows the seating system to be raised from a seated position into an upright position.
WARNING! Risk of compromised wheelchair stability and serious personal injury.
• ALWAYS ensure the wheelchair is on a smooth level surface when driving or operating the system in
an standing position (even at reduced speed).
• NEVER drive up or down an incline while in an standing position (even at reduced speed)
• NEVER lean forward or sideways to grab items/objects, or shift body position (in any direction) while in
an standing position.
• NEVER transfer in or out of your wheelchair while in the standing position.
STAND - LOCKOUTS & LIMITS:
The Tilt function will remain locked out (non-functional) at all times throughout the Stand function.
(
note:
If
the seating system is already tilted when the Stand function is activated, the seat will automatically return to the
‘Tilt Home’ position PRIOR to Standing).
When the Rovi-MPS System is in the full Standing position, the Recline function is approaching the maximum
attainable recline angle. The Recline function will still operate when the system is at full Stand, however the
range of available recline will be minimized (allowing for approximately
10°
of recline (angle) adjustment in
the Standing position).
If the power CM Legrest is ‘out of home’ (extended) prior to activating the Stand function, the power legrest
will automatically return to its home position PRIOR to transitioning into the Stand position.
STAND RANGE OF TRAVEL:
The STAND function will transition
*
the seating system from a standard seated position, into a full upright
standing position. The MPS system is designed to achieve up to a
68°
standing angle (± 5°) at the full anterior/
standing position.
*Note:
When transitioning to a Standing position, the seating system will first go into a pre-tilted position,
BEFORE the seat begins to shift upward into the full upright (stand) position.
(When returning to the Home
position from the Standing position, the seating system will travel (and self adjust) over the identical range
of motion, but in the reverse sequence).
IMPORTANT!
If you have any concerns with the effectiveness of the front caster lockout mechanism,
or any concerns with stability of the system in the STANDING position, return the seating system to a
stable seating position IMMEDIATELY, and contact your Service Provider for assistance. DO NOT
operate the Stand function until your concerns are addressed
.
