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 the controller’s position. If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty Seat, Synergy Seat, or Synergy TRU-Balance, refer to the information provided in separate manuals. If your power chair is equipped with a high-back seat, a reclining seat, or a power elevating seat, refer to the following information.

WARNING! If your power chair was configured at your Quantum Rehab Specialist, please consult your healthcare professional before changing the seat position or making any other adjustment. Some adjustments may degrade your power chair’s performance and safety by changing its center of gravity.

You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:

!metric/standard hex key set

!metric/standard socket set and ratchet

!adjustable wrench

tions in 1-in. increments by raising the seat towers. If you raise or lower only one set of seat towers (front or rear), you can also change the seat base angle. If your power chair is equipped with a power

elevating seat, then you change the seat height through the controller Figure 12. Seat Latch Safety (Disengaged)
