Seat Installation
It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial operation or after transporting your power chair.
For unoccupied transit power chairs, contour seats are attached to the power base with the Universal Mount- ing System (UMS). The UMS consists of universal parts that may be attached to the seat, regardless of seat width or seat depth. The two main components are alu- minum extrusions mounted to the seat base. These extrusions attach to a pair of trapeze bars that are mounted to the power base. See figure 7.
For occupied transit power chairs, the seat plate is secured to the four seat mounting brackets on the power base. The seat plate is located on the bottom of the seat. See figure 9.

2.Lower the front extrusion onto the front trapeze bar until the seat locks into place.
3.Flip the seat latch safety down.
