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 width, armrest angle and height, foot platform height, depth, and angle, and controller position.

NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty Seat, Synergy Seat, or TRU-Balance Power Position- ing System, refer to the seat adjustment information contained in separate manuals. If your power chair is equipped with a contoured seating system, 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 Quantum Rehab 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 Quantum Rehab Provider.

WARNING! Some power chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry them. Please refer to the specifications table for specific component weights before you disassemble the power chair.

WARNING! Remove the occupant from the power chair before making any adjustments.

You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:

„metric/standard socket set and ratchet

„adjustable wrench

„metric/standard hex key set

„thread lock

Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment

If your power chair is not equipped with a transit securement system, you can change the seat height to one of three positions by raising the front and rear tra- peze bars. If you raise or lower only one trapeze bar (front or rear), you can also change the seat base angle (dump).

MANDATORY! If your power chair is equipped with a transit securement system and any adjustment to the seat height or seat angle is necessary, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider. These comfort adjustment can only be made by a Quantum Rehab Provider.

To change the seat height:

1.Turn off the power to the controller.

2.Make sure the power chair is in drive mode.

3.Unplug the controller connector(s) from the power base. See figure 6.

4.Flip up the seat latch safety. See figure 10.

5.Squeeze the seat latch and release the seat from the front trapeze bar.

6.Slide the seat forward and remove it from the power base.
