2.2 RECOMMENDED SAFETY LIMITS
WARNING! Risk of system damage, serious injury or death
Your power positioning system should never exceed the recommended safety limits. These Safety Limits are
controlled by a Tipsy Angle Sensor that is mounted in a fixed position on our Motion Concepts Power
Positioning Systems. The angle at which the limits are set is critical to the safe operation of the power
positioning system (refer to the recommended Safety Limts/Angles provided below).
Motion Concepts will not be liable for any injuries or damage sustained when adjustments are made beyond
the maximum recommended safety limits. If at any time your power positioning system/wheelchair is operating
beyond the recommended safety limits, or if you feel unstable at any time while operating your power positioning
system, return the system to its stable (home) position and contact your Dealer or Service Provider immediately
for assistance and/or inspection.
TIPSY ANGLE SENSOR
The M11S Tipsy Angle Sensor connects directly into our M-Series Seat Control, and the limits/angles can be set
using the M290 Remote Attendant Control. Set-up or adjustment of the safety limits in the Tipsy Angle Sensor
(using the M290 Remote ) may only be performed by a Qualified Technician. (Access is password protected).
