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, armrest width, foot platform depth, and controller position. Use the

steps below to make comfort adjustments.

WARNING! The center of gravity of your power chair was factory set to a position that meets the

needs of the demographic majority of users. Your authorized Pride Provider 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

authorized Pride Provider.

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.

Seat Height Adjustment
You can adjust the seat to two different heights in 1-in.

(2.54-cm) increments. Seat height adjustment requires

the removal of the battery box.

To change the seat height:

1. Turn off the power to the controller.

2. Disconnect the controller connector from the

power base.

3. Remove the seat.

4. Loosen the quick release fastener. See figure 10.

5. Remove the safety snap pin from the seat pedestal.

6. Reposition the seat pedestal to the desired height.

7. Reinstall the seat pedestal safety snap pin.

8. Tighten the quick release fastener. See figure 11.

9. Reinstall the seat.

10. Reconnect the controller connector.

Quick Release Fasteners
The quick release fastener removes excess play in the

seat pedestal. See figure 10. The quick release fastener

consists of a bolt, a lever, and a nut. See figure 11. The

lever has a cam on the end that allows it to clamp into

place. The quick release fastener has two states: clamped

and unclamped. When the lever is open, the quick

release fastener is unclamped. When the lever is closed,

the quick release fastener is clamped.

To clamp the quick release fastener:

1. Make sure the lever is in the open position.

2. Turn the nut clockwise until it is snug.

3. Rotate the lever until it is in the fully closed

position.

NOTE: If the lever will not rotate to the fully closed

position, then turn the nut counterclockwise one-

quarter or one-half turn.
