COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS

After becoming familiar with your power chair’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase
your comfort, such as seat height and angle, armrest angle, foot platform height and angle, and controller position. If your
power chair is equipped with a specialty seat, refer to the information provided in separate manuals. If your power chair is
equipped with a medium-back, a high-back, a reclining seat, or a power elevating seat refer to the following information.
WARNING! If your power chair was configured by your authorized Pride Provider, please consult your
healthcare professional before changing the seat position or making any other adjustment. Some
adjustments may degrade your power chair’s performance and safety by changing its center of gravity.
WARNING! Some power chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry
them. Please refer to the specifications table for specific component weights before you
disassemble the power chair.
WARNING! Prevent injury. Remove the occupant from the power chair before making any
adjustments.
You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:
n metric/standard socket set and ratchet
n adjustable wrench
n thread lock

3. Disconnect the controller from the power pod. See figure 7.
4. Flip up the seat latch safety. See figures 10 or 11.
5. Squeeze the seat latch and release the seat from the
front trapeze bar.
6. Slide the seat forward and remove it from the power base.
7. Loosen the screws that attach the trapeze bars to the
seat posts. See figure 12.
8. Remove the retaining clips that secure the seat posts to
the power base. See figure 12.
9. Move the trapeze bars up or down to the desired height.
NOTE: Change the seat dump by raising or
lowering only one set of towers (front or
back).
