Seat Installation

It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial
operation or after transporting your power chair.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty
Seat, Synergy Seat, or a Synergy TRU-Balance 2 Power
Positioning System, refer to the information provided in
separate manuals.
NOTE: Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the
disassembly or adjustment of the power chair must be
replaced with a new nut. Nylon insert lock nuts should not
be reused as it may cause damage to the nylon insert,
resulting in a less secure fit. Replacement nylon insert
lock nuts are available at local hardware stores or
through your Quantum Rehab Provider.
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. Set the trapeze bars to the desired height. To change the
trapeze bar height, see V. "Comfort Adjustments."
2. Tilt the seat back, and slide the rear extrusion onto the
rear trapeze bar. See figure 12.
3. Lower the front extrusion onto the front trapeze bar
until the seat locks into place.
4. Flip the seat latch safety down. See figure 12.
WARNING! Make sure the seat latch safety
is flipped down before using your power
chair.
5. Install the controller into one of the armrests. See V.
"Comfort Adjustments."
6. Route the controller harness to the front or back of the
power chair to the controller connector, ensuring that the
harness cannot be pinched in the seat hinge. See figure 13.
7. If the controller connector is located at the rear of the
power chair, release the battery door latches and open
the battery door. See figure 7.
8. Plug the controller harness into the connector. See figure 6.
9. Close the battery door if necessary.
10. Secure the controller harness to the armrest receiver
with one or more wire ties.
MANDATORY! Prevent controller harness
damage! Avoid
harness 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
getting caught in the drive tires, pinched in
the seat frame, or damaged when passing
through doorways.
