i) Weight Limitations:
WARNING!
The total user weight capacity (including weight limitations) should never exceed the
wheelchair weight capacity or the power positioning system (PPS) weight capacity.
ii) Power Positioning System (PPS) Weight Capacity
The weight capacities for our Motion Concepts/F-Series power positioning systems vary depending on the
type of seating system module (i.e.; tilt/recline, elevate, scissor lift, etc..) and the type of wheelchair base
onto which the module is being interfaced
**note:
for CG Tilt Modules equipped with a full size vent, the max. PPS weight capacity is reduced by 75lbs
Weight limitation is the total weight (User weight
plus
any additional items that the user may require [LTV
ventilator, back pack, etc.]). Example: If the weight limitation of the wheelchair is 300 lbs and additional items
equal 25 lbs, subtract 25 lbs from 300 lbs; This means the maximum weight limitation of the user is 275 lbs.
WARNING! Danger of injury if maximum permissible load is exceeded!
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible load/weight capacity of the power positioning system or
the wheelchair base.
• The wheelchair is only designed for use by a single occupant whose maximum weight does not
exceed the maximum permissible load of the device. Never use the wheelchair to transport more than
one person.
IMPORTANT!
If you have any concerns or questions regarding weight capacities, or if the total occupant
weight is determined to be greater than the maximum permissable load, please contact our Technical
Service Department immediately.
2.4 Weight Capacity
Several factors must be considered when determining the total user weight and the wheelchair weight
capacity. To obtain the weight limitation data for the wheelchair base, refer to your
Power Base Owners
Manual
(provided separately)
.
WARNING!
The weight capacities for the power positioning modules identified in the table
below are provided as a guideline only
. Further limitations may be required depending on the
specific positioning requirements of the end user (including any aformentioned Weight Limitations), as
well as the type of wheelchair base onto which the system is being installed. The maximum allowable
system (PPS) weight capacities will be further assessed at the time of order.
