COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS

After becoming familiar with your travel chair's operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to
increase your comfort, such as seat height, armrest width, foot platform depth, and controller position. Use the
steps below to make comfort adjustments.
WARNING! If your Go-Chair was configured by an authorised Pride Provider, please consult the
healthcare professional before changing the seat position or making any other adjustment.
Some adjustments may degrade your Go-Chair's performance and safety by changing its centre
of gravity.
WARNING! Some Go-Chair components are heavy. Please refer to "Appendix I - Specifications"
for specific component weights before you disassemble the Go-Chair.
WARNING! Remove the occupant from the Go-Chair before making any adjustments.
Seat Height Adjustment
You can adjust the seat to two different heights. Seat height
adjustment requires the removal of the battery box.
To change the seat height:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Disconnect the controller from the power base.
3. Remove the seat.
4. Remove the battery box.
5. Loosen the quick release fastener. See figure 16.
6. Remove the clevis pin from the seat pedestal.
7. Reposition the seat pedestal to the desired height.
8. Reinstall the seat pedestal clevis pin.
9. Tighten the quick release fastener. See figure 17.
10. Reinstall the battery box.
11. Reinstall the seat.
12. Reconnect the controller to the power base.
Quick Release Fasteners
The quick release fastener removes excess play in the seat ped-
estal. See figure 16. The quick release fastener consists of a bolt,
a lever, and a nut. See figure 17. The lever has a cam on the end
that allows it to clamp into place. The quick release fastener has
two states: clamped and unclamped. When the lever is open, the
quick release fastener is unclamped. When the lever is closed,
the quick release fastener is clamped.
To clamp the quick release fastener:
1. Make sure the lever is in the open position.
2. Turn the nut clockwise until it is snug.
3. Rotate the lever until it is in the fully closed position.
NOTE: If the lever will not rotate to the fully closed position,
then turn the nut anticlockwise one-quarter or one-half turn.
