COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS

After becoming familiar with your power chair’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your comfort, such as seat height and angle, armrest angle, foot platform height and angle, and controller position. If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty Seat, Synergy Seat, or TRU-Balance Power Positioning System, refer to the information provided in separate manuals. If your power chair is equipped with a medium- back, a high-back, or a reclining seat, refer to the following information.

WARNING! The center of gravity of your power chair was factory set to a position that meets the needs of the demographic majority of users. Your authorized Pride Provider has evaluated your power chair and made any necessary adjustments to suit your specific requirements. Do not change your seating configuration without first contacting Pride Mobility Products or your authorized Pride Provider.

WARNING! Some power chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry them. Please refer to “Appendix I - Specifications” for specific component weights before you disassemble the power chair.
