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 controller position.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Synergy Seating 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! Some power chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry them. Please refer to the specification table for specific component weights before you disassemble the power chair.
