INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on choosing the Boma 7! We would like to think that by purchasing a
Boma you have joined a family of off-road riders enjoying reliable, quality products
from Molten Rock.
This manual contains safety advice on how to use the Boma, and it is important that
you read the manual and familiarise yourself with the Boma chair before use. A Boma
is not a toy and can be hazardous to operate.
We want you to enjoy the Boma and for that reason we urge you to take responsibility
for your investment and look after and maintain your purchase. Annual services and
checks are important but it is essential to conduct pre-ride and periodic checks as
detailed throughout this manual.
The Boma was designed as a recreational vehicle for off road use and we have a
responsibility to maintain the off-road environments that we enjoy. By staying on
established trails and pre approved areas, you will help to protect our environment and
keep off-roading areas open for others. Check local riding laws and regulations before
operating.
Retain this user manual in a safe place for future reference. If you sell the Boma, please
ensure that the new owner also receives this user manual.
If you have any questions or require specialist service support, please do not hesitate to
contact Molten Rock, our team will be happy to help!
The most important thing is that you have fun! So, Happy Riding!!
PLEASE NOTE; The Boma you have purchased may differ slightly from the figures in
this manual.

SAFETY INFORMATION!
Your safety and the safety of those around you are essential. Operating your
Boma safely is a significant responsibility.
To help you, the rider, make educated decisions about safety, we use ‘Caution’,
‘Warning’ and ‘Danger’ signs in this manual to alert you to potential hazards that
could harm you or others (please see below).
With the varied applications of the Boma, it is not practical or possible to warn
you about all the possible hazards associated with operating or maintaining it. It
is therefore important that YOU use your own good judgement.

BOMA SAFETY
This section presents some of the most
important information and recommendations
to help you ride your Boma safely. Please take
time to read these pages. This section also
includes information about the location of
safety labels on the Boma.
Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce
the number and severity of head injuries. So
always wear an approved bicycle helmet.
Rider Only
The Boma is designed to only carry the rider;
you. Do not be tempted to carry passengers.
There are no handles, foot plates or seating for
a second person. A passenger could interfere
with your ability control the Boma and
maintain your balance.
Take Time to Learn and Practice
Even if you have ridden an off-road wheelchair
or Class 3 mobility vehicle before, ensure that
you take time to become familiar with how the
Boma works. Practice in a safe area until you
develop your skills and get accustomed to the
Boma’s size, weight and movement.
Be Alert for Off-Road Hazards
Off-road terrain can present a variety of
challenges. Continually scan the terrain for
unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts, and
other hazards. Your speed should always be
slow enough to give you time to see and react
to any hazards.
Ride Within Your Limits
Do not ride beyond your personal abilities or
faster than conditions allow. Remember that
fatigue and tiredness can significantly reduce
your ability to make good, safe judgements.
Before operating, ensure that you feel
confident in your ability to operate the Boma.
If you have any concerns, it is important to
discuss these with the relevant health
professional.
DO NOT Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding do not mix! Even one drink
can reduce your ability to respond to changing
conditions. Do not drink and ride and do not
allow others to drink and ride either.
Likewise, drugs even if prescribed by a Doctor can be dangerous while operating the Boma.
Consult your Doctor to be sure it is safe to
operate the Boma after taking medication.
Do not smoke while operating the Boma.
! WARNING
Carrying a passenger on the Boma
greatly reduces your ability to balance
and control the Boma and could cause a
crash and you or passenger could be
injured. Never carry passengers on the
Boma.

Children
Never allow a child under 16 to operate the
Boma without adult supervision, and do not
allow a child to operate the Boma if they do not
have the abilities to operate the Boma safely.
Look After Your Boma
Inspect your Boma every time before you ridesee Pre-Operation Checks on page 7. Ensure
that your Boma is regularly serviced. Never
modify a Boma through improper installation
or use of accessories.
! WARNING
Consuming alcohol or drugs can seriously
affect your judgement, reaction times,
balance and perception.
Operating the Boma while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs can result in
serious injury or death.
Never consume alcohol or drugs before
or while operating the Boma.
