Initial Assembly

Your power chair may require some assembly either
before initial use or after transportation. It may also require
disassembly to make some comfort adjustments. Figure 5
details those parts of the power chair that are designed
to be disassembled and assembled by an end user or by
a qualified caregiver before using the product or making
comfort adjustments.
NOTE: Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the
disassembly or adjustment of the power chair must be
replaced with a new nut. Nylon insert lock nuts should
not be reused as it may cause damage to the nylon
insert, resulting in a less secure fit. Replacement nylon
insert lock nuts are available at local hardware stores or
through your Quantum Rehab Provider.

Seat Installation

It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial
operation or after transporting your power chair. Contour
seats are attached to the power base with the Universal
Mounting 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
extrusions mounted to the seat base. These extrusions attach
to a pair of trapeze bars that are mounted to the power base.
See figure 6.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Synergy
Seat or a TRU-Balance® 3 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 6.
2. Lower the front extrusion onto the front trapeze bar until
the seat latches 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 and route the harness to the back of
the power base. See figure 7, 8, 9, or 10.
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
controller harness to prevent the harness from getting
caught in the drive tires, pinched in the seat frame, or
damaged when passing through doorways.
