IMPORTANT! The following information is specifi c to the ROVI-UpFront UL Maxx Modular Power
Positioning System (MPPS) and is provided as a supplement to our Motion Concepts UL Maxx MPPS/
BPPS Owners Manual (TRD0000) - provided separately. Please refer to TRD0000 for additional
information related to your power positioning system (including Warranty, Safety, Transportation,
Electronics, Accessories, Maintenance and Troubleshooting).
1.0 INTENDED USE:
Our ROVI UpFront UL Maxx MPPS appropriate for use by any individual who drives a power wheelchair and who
desires or requires a change of position without having to utilize the services of an attendant. Needs for position
changes include:
Positioning benefi ts associated with the tilt/recline/elevating seating system include:
Comfort — as with any individual – able-bodied or disabled – changes in position are necessary to maintain
a state of comfort.
Positioning — Individuals without adequate upper-body stability can be tilted to allow gravity to old them in
position.
Pressure Relief or Reduction — Individuals who wish, from time to time, to redistribute pressure from one
area of the body to another, can do so by tilting and/or reclining. By changing the individual's orientation in
space, pressures caused by gravity will shift.
Positioning/Versatility – individuals are able to reach higher elevations in a seated position, increasing their
range of motion and accessibility.
Please be certain to review all safety warnings/information in the UL Maxx MPPS/BPPS Owners Manual, TRD0000,
Section 2.0 - Safety Information (provided separately). Please also read all additional safety information/manuals
provided separately with your wheelchair seating system, including but not limited to the ROVI-X3/A3 Power
Wheelchair Base Owner/Operators Manual.
2.0 SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION:
Motion Concepts power positioning systems are identifi ed by a unique device identifi cation (UDI) code and serial
number, which allows us to trace the production history of the system and better equips us to address any service
issues that may occur over the lifetime of the product.
The identifi cation plate for your UpFront UL Maxx Modular Power Positioning System (MPPS) is located at
