Seat Installation
It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial operation or after transporting your power chair. Most seats are attached to the power base with the Universal Mount- ing System (UMS). The UMS consists of universal parts that may be attached to the seat, regardless of seat width or seat depth. The two main components are aluminum extru- sions mounted to the seat base. These extrusions attach to a pair of trapeze bars that are mounted to the power base. See figure 11.

2.Lower the front extrusion onto the power seat base or front trapeze bar until the seat locks into place.
3.Flip the seat latch safety down.
WARNING! Make sure the seat latch safety is flipped down before using your power chair.
