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 Uni- versal Mounting System (UMS). The UMS consists of universal parts that may be attached to any medium- back or high-back 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.

WARNING! Do not pick up the seat frame by the armrests. They are free to pivot, and you may lose control of the seat if they do so.

To install the seat:

1.Tilt the seat back and slide the rear extrusion onto the rear trapeze bar. See figure 11.

2.Lower the front extrusion onto the front trapeze bar until the seat locks into place.

3.Flip the seat latch safety down.
