COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS

After becoming familiar with your travel chair’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your comfort, such as seat height, armrest width, foot platform depth, and controller position. Use the steps below to make comfort adjustments.

WARNING! If your Z-Chair was configured by an authorized Pride Provider, please consult the authorized Pride Provider before changing the seat position or making any other adjustment. Some adjustments may degrade your travel chair’s performance and safety by changing its center of gravity.

WARNING! Some Z-Chair components are heavy. Please refer to “Appendix I - Specifications” for specific component weights before you disassemble the Z-Chair.

WARNING! Remove the occupant from the Z-Chair before making any adjustments.
