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

and angle, and controller position.

NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty Seat, Synergy Seat, or TRU-Balance Power Position-

ing System, refer to the information provided in separate manuals.

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 Quantum Rehab 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 Quantum Rehab Provider.

WARNING! Some power chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry

them. Please refer to the specifications table for specific component weights before you

disassemble the power chair.

WARNING! Remove the occupant from the power chair before making any adjustments.

access point on the rear shroud until it releases. See

3. Disconnect the controller connector(s) from the

power base. See figure 7.

4. Flip up the seat latch safety. See figure 11.

5. Squeeze the seat latch and release the seat from the

front trapeze bar.

power base.

7. Loosen the screws that attach the trapeze bars to the

seat posts. See figure 14.

8. Remove the retaining clips that secure the seat

posts to the power base. See figure 14.
