Seat Installation

It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to

initial operation or after transporting your power chair.

Most seats are attached to the power base with the Uni-

versal Mounting System (UMS). The UMS consists of

universal parts that may be attached to the seat, regard-

less of seat width or seat depth. The two main compo-

nents are aluminum extrusions mounted to the seat

base. These extrusions attach to a pair of trapeze bars

that are mounted to the power base. See figure 11.

NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Spe-

cialty Seat, Synergy Seat, or a TRU-Balance Power

Positioning System, refer to the information provided

in separate manuals.

WARNING! Do not pick up the seat

frame by the armrests. They are free to

pivot, and you may lose control of the

seat if they do so.

To install the seat:

1. Tilt the seat back and slide the rear extrusion onto

the rear trapeze bar. See figure 11.

2. Lower the front extrusion onto the power seat base

or front trapeze bar until the seat locks into place.

3. Flip the seat latch safety down.

WARNING! Make sure the seat latch

safety is flipped down before using

your power chair.

4. Install the controller into the mounting block or

under the armrest. See figure 17 or 18. Tighten the

setscrew(s).

5. Route the controller harness so that it cannot be

pinched in the seat hinge.

MANDATORY! Prevent controller harness

damage! Avoid routing the controller har-

ness on the outside of the armrest pad.

Route the harness under the armrest or

toward the inside of the armrest pad. Use

correct tie-down points for the controller

harness to prevent the harness from get-

ting caught in the drive tyres, pinched in

the seat frame, or damaged when passing

through doorways.

6. Gently push down and pull backward at the harness access

point on the rear shroud until it releases. See figure 12.

7. Remove the rear shroud.

8. Plug the controller connector(s) into the power

base. See figure 7.

9. Reinstall the rear shroud by aligning the side and back

tabs with the holes in the main shroud. Gently push

down and forward until all four tabs lock into place.

10. Secure the controller harness to the armrest

receiver with one or more wire ties. See figure 13.
