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 Go-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 Go-Chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry them. Please refer to the specifications table for specific component weights before you disassemble the Go-Chair.

WARNING! Prevent injury. Remove the occupant from the Go-Chair before making any adjustments.

Seat Height Adjustment

You can adjust the seat to two different heights in 1-in. in- crements. Seat height adjustment requires the removal of the battery box.

2.Remove the seat.

3.Remove the battery box.

4.Loosen the quick release fastener. See figure 16.

5.Remove the ball detent pin hardware from the seat pedestal.

9.Reinstall the battery box.

10.Reinstall the seat.

11.Reconnect the controller connector.

Quick Release Fasteners

The quick release fastener removes excess play in the seat pedestal. See figure 16. The quick release fastener consists of a bolt, a lever, and a nut. See figure 17. The lever has a cam on the end that allows it to clamp into place. The quick release fastener has two states: clamped and unclamped. When the lever is open, the quick release fastener is unclamped. When the lever is closed, the quick release fas- tener is clamped.

To clamp the quick release fastener:

1.Make sure the lever is in the open position.

2.Turn the nut clockwise until it is snug.

3.Rotate the lever until it is in the fully closed position.
