Your Power Chair; Assembly - Pride Mobility ELITE14 Owner's Manual

INITIAL ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the disassembly or adjustment of the power chair must be
replaced with a new nylon insert lock 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 by contacting your authorized Pride 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 Syn-
ergy Seat, refer to the information provided in sepa-
rate 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 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 and route the harness to the
back of the seat. See figures 7.
MANDATORY!
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.
5. Plug the controller connector into the front of the
power base. See figure 3.
6. Secure the controller harness to the armrest receiver
with wire ties. See figure 7.
