COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS

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, armrest angle and height, foot platform height, depth, and angle
and controller position.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty Seat, Synergy Seating System or TRU-Balance 2
Power Positioning System, refer to the seat adjustment information contained in separate manuals. If your
power chair is equipped with a contoured seating system, refer to the following information.
WARNING! The centre of gravity of your power chair was factory set to a position that meets the
needs of the demographic majority of users. Your Quantum Rehab Dealer has evaluated your
power chair and made any necessary adjustments to suit your specific requirements. Do not
change your seating configuration without first contacting Pride Mobility Products or your Quantum
Rehab Dealer.
WARNING! Some power chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry
them. Please refer to "Appendix I - Specifications" for specific component weights before you
disassemble the power chair.
WARNING! Remove the occupant from the power chair before making any adjustments.
You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:
metric/standard socket set and ratchet
adjustable spanner
metric/standard hex key set
thread lock
Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
You can change the seat height to one of three positions by
raising the front and rear trapeze bars. If you raise or lower
only one trapeze bar (front or rear), you can also change
the seat base angle (dump).
To change the seat height:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Make sure the power chair is in drive mode.
3. Loosen the rear shroud fasteners and remove the rear
shroud. See figure 6.
4. Disconnect the controller connector(s) from the power
base. See figure 7.
5. Flip up the seat latch safety. See figure 11.
6. Squeeze the seat latch and release the seat from the
front trapeze bar.
7. Slide the seat forward and remove it from the power
base.
8. Remove the retaining clips that attach the trapeze bars
to the seat posts. See figure 16.
9. Move the trapeze bars up or down to the desired height.
