Swivel Seat - Hoveround MPV5 Owner's Manual

Swivel Seat (Optional)
The swivel seat permits the seat to pivot from the forward facing
position through 90 degrees in either the left or right direction. The
seat will lock in each of the forward, left and right facing positions.
This feature is provided to make side transferring easier. The swivel
release lever is mounted on the left side in the standard position,
and can be changed to the right side by a Hoveround
Service Technician.
The seat can rotate when not locked. To avoid a fall from the
seat and serious injury or death, always make sure the seat is
secure and locked before getting into or out of the power
wheelchair or attempting to drive.
To unlock the seat and swivel 90 degrees in either direction:
1. Locate the swivel release lever positioned at the rear-left side
under the seat, or front-right side under the seat if so equipped.
2. Release the seat by moving the lever horizontally back if left
location, or horizontally forward if right location.
3. Keeping the lever in the release position, push with your arm or
feet to cause the seat to pivot in the desired direction. Once
the seat has moved away from the locked position, the lever
can be released.
Do not use the swivel release lever to rotate the seat. Do not
force the swivel release lever to the locked position while rotating
the seat. Damage to the power wheelchair may result.
4. Continue to pivot the seat around to the desired direction.
When the seat reaches a 90-degree position, the lever will lock
into place to hold the seat in that position.
