BOSS 4.5, RF, P3 & P4 OWNERS MANUAL 19
Power Seat Operation (Not available on RF-P3 and RF-P4)
Optional power seat actuators will be operated using one of the following control systems.
Joysticks with integral actuator controls
The controller has two modes of operation. One is called the “drive mode”. It is used to drive the chair.
The second mode is the “actuator control mode” used
to run up to two different motorized actuators includ-
ing tilts, power seats and Stanza.
While you are in the “drive mode”, the power wheel-
chair controls will function as explained earlier in
this manual.
To switch from the “drive mode” to the “actua-
tor control mode” you must have the power chair
stopped and sitting on a fi rm level surface. Find the
curved mode switch button located just under the
ON/OFF button.
Press and release the actuator control mode button to
once to toggle from drive mode to controlling motor-
ized actuators. Then press the button a second time to light up #2 on the switch. The far right part of the
button will be lit up when the second function is active.
Moving the joystick forward will lower the seat. Pulling back on the joystick will raise the seat. The speed
is proportional and can be adjusted by how far you have moved the joystick.
Once you have fi nished adjusting the powered accessories, you may leave the “accessory power mode” and
return to drive mode by pressing and releasing the mode switch until both of the small mode switch lights
are off. If the power switch is on both mode switch lights are off you are in drive mode. Moving the joy-
stick will cause the power chair to move.
WARNING:
Before using the joystick, always look at the indicator lights to know what
mode you are in. Failure to do so could result in unexpected movement of the power chair
causing potential harm to the user and or the equipment.
External Controls
Controls that are not activated through the joystick do not require you to
toggle between “drive mode” and “actuator control power mode”.
To operate the power seat actuator with external controls, you must have the
power chair stopped and sitting on a fi rm level surface. Locate the small
black box with the rocker switch. Push at the back of the rocker switch to
raise the seat and push at the front of the rocker switch to lower the seat.
