20 BOSS 4.5, RF, P3 & P4 OWNERS MANUAL
Seat Assembly Operation
The power wheelchair comes with removable/height adjustable arms. These arms are designed to provide
support for your arms while seated on the wheelchair, and for assistance when getting on and off of the
wheelchair. Persons with no use of their legs, or no ability to transfer weight to the fl oor should seek other
means of assistance (slide board, helper, etc.) when transferring in and out of the wheelchair. Arm failure will
result if excess weight is applied to the arm.
Width adjustable arm adjustments
1. Loosen the black knobs under the edge of the seat. Rotate counter clockwise to loosen.
2. Slide the armrests in or out as needed.
3. Tighten the black knobs. Rotate clockwise to tighten.
Should you wish to remove the armrests, simply pull them out when the knobs are loose. Remember to
tighten the knobs to avoid their loss.
Seat Height Adjustment
NOTE:
The Boss 4.5 is shown in the photo. The seat height is adjusted on the Scout RF-P3 & P4 in the same
manner.
1. Remove the seat assembly by unpinning the seat and lifting the
seat assembly straight up. Set aside.
2. Locate the seat height adjustment bolts and nut
located on the post where pins were removed.
3. Remove the bolt, nut, and washers. Take note of
their position
in order to correctly replace them.
4. The seat height post will now move up and down.
5. Position the seat height to new desired position.
6. Replace the washers, bolt, and nut in their proper order.
Tighten until all play is eliminated.
7. Replace the seat assembly and test the new height.
It is recommended that the seat assembly be positioned at the lowest
comfortable seat height. The power wheelchair's stability will be
improved with a lower height.
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.
ASSEMBLING THE WHEELCHAIR
The power wheelchair's easy separation makes it very convenient to disassemble
and assemble the unit. Complete disassembly can be accomplished in seconds
WITHOUT tools. The procedure is as follows.
Make sure the power button has been placed in the off (no lights) position.
Remember, it should already be in the OFF position since it was placed there
when you last got off the wheelchair. Disconnect the power cord located at
the rear of the seat on the seat bracket, unpin the seat at all four points, lift the
seat assembly up and remove. Lift off the cover while passing the cable and
connector through the hole in the cover.
Disconnect each battery by depressing the tab on each battery plug to unplug
the cable. Remove both batteries.
