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, or a reclining seat, refer to the following information.

chair's performance and safety by changing
its center of gravity.

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.

power chair before making any adjustments.

shroud. See figure 6.

4. Flip up the seat latch safety. See figure 12.
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 13.
8. Remove the retaining clips that secure the seat posts to
the power base. See figure 13.
