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 an optional seating system, refer to the information provided in separate manuals. If your
power chair is equipped with a medium-back, a high-back, or a reclining seat, refer to the following information.
WARNING! If your power chair was configured by your Quantum Rehab Specialist, 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 centre
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:
! metric/standard socket set and ratchet
! adjustable spanner
! thread lock

Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment

You can change the seat height to one of four positions in
2.54 cm (1-in.) increments by raising the front and rear tra-
peze bars. If you raise or lower only one trapeze bar (front or
rear), you can also change the seat base angle (dump).

To change the seat height:

1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Unlock the rear shroud fasteners and remove the rear
shroud. See figure 6.
3. Disconnect the controller connector(s) from the power
base. See figure 7.
4. Flip up the seat latch safety. See figure 13.
5. Squeeze the seat latch and release the seat from the front
trapeze bar. See figure 13.
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 14.
8. Remove the retaining clips that secure the seat posts to
the power base. See figure 14.
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 rear).
10. Reinstall the retaining clips from step 8.
