Equalizer Tilt System OWNERS MANUAL rev. 8/26/04

The Equalizer tilt seating system is an adjustable seating system that can be or-

dered from the factory with a few predetermined set up instructions requested by

the equipment provider purchasing the equipment from Leisure-Lift. All decisions

regarding the appropriate set up of the seating system, the power base, the pro-

grammable controller settings, and the stability rating of the nal product must be

made based on direct interaction between end users and their local equipment

provider or therapist. Unlike a local equipment provider or therapist, Leisure-Lift

does not have sufcient knowledge of your needs and environment to determine

what limitations, accommodations, and adjustments are needed.

In a Rehab situation, where this wheelchair (or any other) has been augmented

with other products, RESNA has determined it is the therapists’ or dealers respon-

sibility to determine that the nal conguration is safe for the specic user. RES-

NA also states that the user be given a “safe stability curve in all three planes.

RESNA is an organization of manufacturers, the V.A., the F.D.A., Academe and

Medical Professionals that set standards and accreditation for the US.

ELECTRICAL - Grounding Instructions:

DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug

used with or for Leisure-Lift products. Some devices are equipped with three-prong (ground-

ing) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualied

electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong

wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension

cord, use ONLY a three-wire extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as the

device being connected. In addition, Leisure-Lift has placed RED/ORANGE WARNING TAGS

on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags. Carefully read battery/battery charger infor-

mation prior to installing, servicing or operating your wheelchair.

RAIN TEST

LEISURE-LIFT has tested it's power wheelchairs in accordance with ISO 7176 Part 9 "Rain

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING

THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED

WHEELCHAIR.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources

Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both will be referred to as powered

wheelchairs) may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering to

electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur

radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave

sources) can cause the powered wheelchair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unin-

tended directions. It can also permanently damage the powered wheelchair's control system. The

intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (v/m). Each powered

wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its "immunity level." The higher the

immunity level, the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving

at least a 20 v/m immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more common

sources of radiated EMI.

There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic elds in the everyday en-

vironment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent and

exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warnings listed below, your

risk to EMI will be minimized.

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classied into three types:

1) Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the antenna mounted

directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios,

"walkie talkie," security, re, and police transceivers, cellular telephones, and other

personal communication devices. **NOTE: Some cellular telephones and similar devices

transmit signals while they are ON, even while not being used;

2) Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, re trucks,

ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle;

3) Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast

transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.

NOTE: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM

radios, TV sets, CD players, and cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers

and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your powered wheel-

chair.

Powered Wheelchair Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)



Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting antenna

(source), the EM elds from hand -held radio wave sources (transceivers are of special concern). It

is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the powered wheelchair's

control system while using these devices. This can affect powered wheelchair movement and brak-

ing. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with

the control system of the powered wheelchair.

WARNINGS

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio

(HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect powered wheelchairs and

motorized scooters. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended

brake release or powered wheelchair movement which could result in serious injury.

1) Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band

(CB) radios, or turn ON personal communications devices, such as cellular phones, while

the powered wheelchair is turned ON;

2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming

close to them;

3) If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair OFF as

soon as it is safe;

4) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered

wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to EMI (Note: There is no easy way to

evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the powered wheelchair);

5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered

wheelchair manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.

Important Information

1) 20 volts per meter (v/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against EMI

(as of May 1994) (the higher the level, the greater the protection).

2) Because of the large variance in positions, adjustments and different seating

combinations which each affect the EMI immunity, it is not possible to test specic

immunity level.

Modication of any kind to the electronics of this wheelchair as manufactured by

Leisure-Lift may adversely affect the EMI immunity levels.

The immunity level of this model of wheelchair is unknown.
