COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS
After becoming familiar with your Blast’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your
comfort, such as seat height and angle, armrest height and angle, footrest height and angle, and the controller or master remote’s
position. If your Blast is equipped with either the Synergy Seat, the Versa Tilt or some other specialty seating system, refer to the
information provided in separate manuals. If your Blast is equipped with a medium back, a highback, or a reclining seat, refer
to the following information.
CAUTION! If your Blast was configured at your Pride provider, please consult your health care professional
before changing the seat position or making any other adjustment. Some adjustments may degrade your
Blast’s performance and safety by changing its center of gravity.
You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:
n metric/standard hex key set
n metric/standard socket set and ratchet
n adjustable wrench

they do so, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to
the chair.
