WARNING: Use extra caution while driving your power base near ramps and other devices used
for loading and unloading into vans and public transportation. Set the controls to a slower maximum speed
to help prevent any unsafe accidental movement. While being lifted or lowered by a platform lift, turn all
control systems off to prevent accidental activation while lift is moving.
WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT POSITIONING STRAPS
Leisure-Lift recommends that wheelchair and seating system users NOT be transported in vehicles of any
kind while in wheelchairs. As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down
systems for transportation of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any type.
The BOSS HD Equalizer seating system has optional transport securement anchors intended for use
with a six point strap system. Leisure-Lift requires that the rider be transferred from the power chair and
secured to automotive type seating while being transported. Contact your equipment provider for additional
information.
