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 width,
angle, and height, foot platform height, depth, and angle,
and controller position.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a TB-Flex Seat,
a Synergy Seat, or TRU-Balance® 3 Power Positioning
System, refer to the seat adjustment information
contained in separate manuals.

need assistance to lift or carry them. Please refer to
the specifications table for specific component weights
before you disassemble the power chair.
