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 3
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 4.
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.
