    • Your Motion Concepts seating system may be mounted/adjusted on the powerbase over a range of fore and aft positions. It is the Dealer/Service Providers responsibility to ensure the final system mounting position provides you with maximum stability over the full range of seating positions.
  • Page 9 This could shift your center of gravity and cause the wheelchair to become unstable. • When a system is fully tilted or reclined, the front wheels of the powerbase should NEVER come off the ground. If this occurs, please contact your authorized Motion Concepts Dealer/ Representative immediately to resolve the issue.
  • Page 10 DO NOT attempt to adjust or disable the safety limits/lockouts (see also Section 4.3- Safety Lockouts and Limits). • ALL Motion Concepts wheelchairs are programmed with a drive lockout (DLO) limit. The DLO limit MUST always be set to ensure your stability is not compromised when operating your wheelchair.
  • Page 11 Your wheelchair’s ability to travel up or down inclines is affected by your weight, travel speed, angle of approach to the incline and the set-up/configuration of your power positioning system.
