10 BOSS 4.5, RF, P3 & P4 OWNERS MANUAL
Position the rear casters so that they are extended as far rearward as possible and engage motor locks/clutch-
es. DO NOT LEAN FORWARD OF THE ARMRESTS.
REACHING, BENDING - BACKWARDS
WARNING
DO NOT
lean over the top of the back upholstery. This will change your center of gravity and
may cause you to tip over. Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object. Point rear casters
rearward to create the longest possible wheelbase. Reach back only as far as your arm will extend without
changing your sitting position.
WARNING:
For units with the optional Power Seat, only drive the wheelchair when the power
seat is in the lowest position to avoid tipping and serious injury. If you are unable to follow this
instruction, consult your dealer for alternatives.
Persons having disabilities which limit their ability to remain erect without assistance, (stroke patients,
severe muscular diseases, etc.) should carefully evaluate whether they should operate a wheelchair at all. If
they decide, with the advise of their physician or another advisor, that they are capable of safely operating
a wheelchair, they should consider the use of a bicycle helmet or pads when operating a wheelchair. These
articles would help protect them should they fi nd themselves in a hazardous situation where they could tip
over or fall because of their lack of balance.
DIFFERENT STYLES OF POWER WHEELCHAIRS HAVE DIFFERENT INCLINE
CLIMBING ABILITIES. CAREFULLY STUDY THE CHART TO SEE THE CORRECT
SPECIFICATIONS FOR YOUR UNIT. DO NOT EXCEED THE SPECIFICATIONS OF
THE POWER WHEELCHAIR STYLE YOU PURCHASED!
