Power elevating seat option
– if fitted
The power elevating seat will allow more freedom and independence, by extending your level
of reach. The seat height can be adjusted to match a surface to which you are transferring.
When the seat is fully elevated, the user is closer to eye level of standing persons enabling
more enjoyable interactions.
Seat elevators are sometimes referred to as scissor lifts; this for good reason. Under no
circumstances should you put your hands, fingers, toes or any part of your body in the seat
elevator mechanism while it is operating. Be careful that nobody else has any part of their
body in the seat elevator mechanism while it is working.
To operate the power elevating seat:
Bring your power chair to a complete stop on a flat level surface.
Always fasten the positioning belt when operating the power elevating seat.
Push the ‘Accessory Mode Selection’ button on the DX2. Select power elevating seat by
moving the joystick left or right. Once the power elevating seat option is highlighted,
moving the joystick forward or backwards will operate the function.
Once the seat reaches its highest elevation, the action stops; release the joystick at this
point.
Before driving, always be sure that the mechanism has returned the seat to its lowest
position.
The power seat elevator is fitted with a system that reduces the speed of the power
wheelchair when the seat has been elevated a small amount.

WARNING! Never elevate the seat from its lowest position on an inclined
surface
