Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
There are four steel towers that connect the seat to the power base. See figure 6. You can change the seat height to one of three positions by raising the seat tow- ers. 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:
1.Turn off the power to the controller.
2.Ensure the power chair is in drive mode. See figure 8.
3.Unplug the controller connector(s) from the electronics tray.
4.Flip up the seat latch safety. See figure 13.

6.Slide the seat forward and remove it from the power base.
