Power Elevating Seat Option
Your power chair may be equipped with a power elevating seat actuator. See figure 22. The power elevating seat is
equipped with a system that reduces the power chair’s speed by one half whenever the seat is elevated more than 1-2
inches.
The power elevating seat can enhance the capabilities of the power chair in several ways:
! By raising the seat, you extend your level of reach to allow more freedom and independence in many environments.
! By raising or lowering the seat, you can easily adjust the seat height to any surface to which you want to transfer. .
! By raising the seat, you are closer to the eye level of standing persons. This provides better interaction.
For all the benefits your power elevating seat system can provide you, there are limitations. Observe the following precau-
tions in order to ensure safe use of the power elevating seat system.
WARNING! Read and understand this owner’s manual thoroughly before operating the power chair.
WARNING! Failure to heed the following warnings may cause the power chair to tip over, resulting
in personal injury and/or damage to the power chair.
WARNING! Always fasten the positioning belt when operating the power elevating seat system.
WARNING! Never raise the seat from its lowest position on an inclined surface.
WARNING! Never raise the seat from its lowest position when operating your power chair on
bumpy or uneven surfaces.
WARNING! Never raise the seat while your power chair is in the freewheel mode.
WARNING! Maintain recommended tire pressure in the drive wheel to maintain stability.
NOTE: The power elevating seat option is equipped with a system that reduces the speed of the power chair by
one-half when the seat is elevated more than 1-2 inches. Always check to be sure this system is operating
properly before using your power chair
