Seat Installation - Quantum Rehab Quantum 600 Owner's Manual

Seat Installation

It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial
operation or after transporting your power chair. If your
power chair is equipped with a Synergy Seat or a Synergy
TRU-Balance power positioning seating system, refer to
the information provided in separate manuals. Specialty
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 alumi-
num extrusions mounted to the seat base. These extrusions
attach to a pair of trapeze bars that are mounted to the
power base. See figure 11.
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, resulting in personal injury
or damage to the chair.
To install the seat:
1. Tilt the seat back and slide the rear extrusion onto the
rear trapeze bar. See figure 11.
2. Lower the front extrusion onto the power seat base or
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 into the mounting block or under
the armrest. See figure 17 or 18. Tighten the setscrew(s).
5. Turn the rear shroud fasteners counterclockwise one-
quarter turn to loosen. See figure 6.
6. Remove the rear shroud.
7. Plug the controller connector(s) into the power base.
See figure 7.
8. Reinstall the rear shroud. Turn the rear shroud fasteners
clockwise one-quarter turn to tighten.
9. Route the controller cable so that it cannot be pinched
in the seat hinge.
10. Secure the controller cable to the armrest receiver with
one or more wire ties.
