Seat Installation

It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial
operation or after transporting your power chair. Most seats
are attached to the power base with the Universal Mount-
ing System (UMS). The UMS consists of universal parts
that may be attached to the seat, regardless of seat width or
seat depth. The two main components are aluminum extru-
sions mounted to the seat base. These extrusions attach to
a pair of trapeze bars that are mounted to the power base.
See figure 11.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Spe-
cialty Seat, Synergy Seat or a TRU-Balance Power
Positioning System, refer to the information provided
in separate manuals.
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. Tilt the seat back and slide the rear extrusion onto the
rear trapeze bar. See figure 11.
2. Lower the front extrusion onto the power seat base or
front trapeze bar until the seat locks into place.
3. Flip the seat latch safety down.
WARNING! Make sure the seat latch
safety is flipped down before using your
power chair.
4. Install the controller into the mounting block or under the armrest. See figure 15 or 16. Tighten the setscrew(s).
5. Route the controller cable so that it cannot be pinched in the seat hinge
MANDATORY! Prevent controller harness damage! Avoid routing the controller 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 tyres, pinched in the seat frame or damaged when passing through
doorways.
6. Turn the rear shroud fasteners anticlockwise one-quarter turn to loosen. See figure 6.
7. Remove the rear shroud.
8. Plug the controller connector(s) into the power base. See figure 7.
9. Reinstall the rear shroud. Turn the rear shroud fasteners clockwise one-quarter turn to tighten.
10. Secure the controller cable to the armrest receiver with one or more wire ties.
