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 the
controller's position.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty Seat, Synergy Seat or TRU-Balance Power Positioning
System, refer to the information provided in separate manuals. If your power chair is equipped with a high-
back seat, a reclining seat or a power elevating seat, refer to the following information.
WARNING! The centre of gravity of your power chair was factory set to a position that meets the
needs of the demographic majority of users. Your Quantum Rehab Dealer has evaluated your
power chair and made any necessary adjustments to suit your specific requirements. Do not
change your seating configuration without first contacting Pride Mobility Products or your
Quantum Rehab Dealer.
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! 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
Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
The seat is attached to the power base by four seat tow-
ers. You can change the seat height to one of four posi-
tions in 2.5-cm (1-in.) increments by raising the front
and rear seat towers. If you raise or lower only one set
of seat towers (front or rear), you can also change the
seat base angle (dump).
To change the seat height or seat angle:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Make sure the power chair is in drive mode.
3. Remove the safety snap pins from the seat
receivers. See figure 10.
4. Move the seat up or down to the desired height.
NOTE: Change the seat dump by raising or lowering
only one set of pins (front or rear).
5. Reinstall the safety snap pins.
