BOSS HD Equalizer Til t System
The motion of the BOSS HD EQUALIZER tilt seating system is controlled in one of two ways.
INTEGRAL SWITCHES - Some power chairs come
equipped with an optional Joystick module that has integral
switches built into it. The optional switches can control up
to two functions such as a tilt mechanism and a power
stanza.
EXTERNAL SWITCHES - Some power chairs come with external switches mounted
in separate small black plastic box for controlling functions such as tilt mechanisms
or power stanza.
SPEED REDUCTION AND/DRIVE LOCKOUT SWITCH - The tilt system has two safety switches, one
that senses when the tilt comes off of its resting position and another that senses the angle that the seat
is tilted in relationship to the world. This includes the slope of the surface that you may be driving on
such as a hill or ramp. The Speed Reduction switch will automatically cause you to change to a slower
drive mode when you raise the tilt from its resting position. The Drive Lockout Switch will automatically
shut down the drive system if you tilt your seat past 15 to 20 degrees.
CAUTION: Always drive the power chair with the tilt
seat run down to the lowest position. This will help ensure
the stability of the product and remove unnecessary stress
from the actuators and seat system that will shorten its life.
Ask your equipment provider about the pre-tilt settings if you
fi nd yourself constantly needing to drive the power chair with
the actuators setting the seat into a partially tilted position.
The pre-tilt settings can provide for 4 and 8 degrees posterior
seat angle.
When tilted above the rest postition and while driving on a
smooth surface you will fi nd that the speed will be automatially
reduced when your seat is in a tilted position up to 15 to 20 degrees.
You will fi nd that the drive system will be automatically disabled when the tilt seat is tilted beyond 15 to
20 degrees causing you to quickly come to a complete stop.
!
WARNING: Do not operate Rocker Switch while the chair is in motion.
