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 the controller’s position. If your power chair is equipped with a medium back, a high back, or a reclining seat, refer to the following information.

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

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.

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

You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:

!metric/standard hex key set

!metric/standard socket set and ratchet

!adjustable wrench

Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment

There are four seat towers that connect the seat to the power base. 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.

To change the seat height or seat angle:

1.Turn off the power to the controller.

2.Remove the quick release pin from each of the four seat towers.

3.Hold the seat by the seat base and lift the seat off the towers.

4.Set the seat aside.

5.Remove the body shroud.

6.Remove the bolt that fastens each of the four seat towers to the frame. See figure 11.

7.Raise or lower each seat tower to the desired height.

NOTE: Change the seat angle by raising or lower- ing only one set of towers (front or back).
