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 the seat, regard- less of seat width or seat depth. The two main compo- nents are aluminum extrusions mounted to the seat base. These extrusions attach to a pair of trapeze bars that are mounted to the power base. See figure 11.

NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Spe- cialty Seat, Synergy Seat, or a TRU-Balance Power Positioning System, refer to the information provided in separate manuals.

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.

TRAPEZE BARS

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 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.

4.Install the controller into the mounting block or under the armrest. See figure 18 or 19. Tighten the setscrew(s).

5.Route the controller harness so that it cannot be pinched in the seat hinge.

MANDATORY! Prevent controller harness damage! Avoid routing the controller har- ness on the outside of the armrest pad. Route the harness under the armrest or toward the inside of the armrest pad. Use correct tie-down points for the controller harness to prevent the harness from get- ting caught in the drive tires, pinched in the seat frame, or damaged when passing through doorways.

6.Gently push down and pull backward at the harness access point on the rear shroud until it releases. See figure 12.

7.Remove the rear shroud.

8.Plug the controller connector(s) into the power base. See figure 7.

9.Reinstall the rear shroud by aligning the side and back tabs with the holes in the main shroud. Gently push down and forward until all four tabs lock into place.

10.Secure the controller harness to the armrest receiver with one or more wire ties. See figure 13.
