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 angle, foot platform height and angle, and the controller’s
position. If your power chair is equipped with a medium back, a high back, or a reclining seat, refer to the following
information.
WARNING! If your power chair was configured at your authorized Pride Provider, please
consult your healthcare professional before changing the seat position or making any
other adjustment. Some adjustments may degrade your power chair’s performance and
safety by changing its center of gravity.
WARNING! Some power chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or
carry them. Please refer to the specification table for specific component weights before
you disassemble the power chair.
WARNING! Prevent injury. Remove the occupant from the power chair before making any
adjustments.
You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:
! metric/standard hex key set
! metric/standard socket set and ratchet
! adjustable wrench
Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
There are four seat towers that connect the seat to the power base. You can change the seat height to one of three
positions in 1-in. increments by raising the seat towers. If you raise or lower only one set of seat towers (front or
rear), you can also change the seat base angle.
To change the seat height or seat angle:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Remove the quick release pin from each of the four
seat towers.
3. Hold the seat by the seat base and lift the seat off the
towers.
4. Set the seat aside.
5. Remove the body shroud.
6. Remove the bolt that fastens each of the four seat
towers to the frame. See figure 11.
7. Raise or lower each seat tower to the desired height.
NOTE: Change the seat angle by raising or lower-
ing only one set of towers (front or back).
8. Reinstall the bolt into each seat tower.
9. Reinstall the shroud.
10. Reinstall the seat and secure with the quick release
pins.
