Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment

There are four seat towers that connect the seat to the power base. See figures 3 and 8. You can change the seat height to one of three positions 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 or a switch.

To change the seat height or seat angle:

1.Unplug the connector(s) from the electronics tray.

2.Press both seat plungers and lift up the front of the seat (if equipped withfootrest).Seefigure7.Pressbothfrontseat towerlatchesandliftup thefrontoftheseat(elevatinglegrestsandswing-awayfootrest).Seefigure 8.
