Comfort Adjustments
After becoming familiar with your Jazzy’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to
increase your comfort, such as seat height and angle, armrest angle, footrest height and angle, and the
controller’s position. If your Jazzy is equipped with a specialty seating system such as a Synergy seat, refer
to the information provided in separate manuals. If your Jazzy is equipped with a medium back, a high
back, or a reclining seat, refer to the following information.
WARNING! If your Jazzy was configured at your authorized Pride Provider, please consult your
healthcare professional before changing the seat position or making any other adjustment. Some
adjustments may degrade your Jazzy’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
Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
There are four seat towers that connect the seat to the power base. See figures 6 and 10. You can change the
seat height to one of three positions in 1-in. increments by raising the seat towers. If you raise or lower only
one set of seat towers (front or rear), you can also change the seat base angle. If your Jazzy is equipped with
a power elevating seat, then you change the seat height through the controller or a switch.
To change the seat height or seat angle:
1. Unplug the connector(s) from the electronics tray.
2. Press both seat plungers and lift up the front of the seat (if equipped with footrest). Press both front
seat tower latches and lift up the front of the seat (elevating leg rests and swing-away footrest). See figure 10.
3. Allow the seat to rest on the front seat towers.
4. Pull the seat forward and lift it off the frame.
WARNING! Do not pick up the seat by
the armrests. They are free to pivot,
and you may lose control of the seat
if they do so, resulting in personal
injury and/or damage to the chair.
5. Lift off the shroud.
6. Remove the ball detent pin from each of
the four seat towers. See figure 10.
7. Raise or lower each seat tower to the
desired position. To change the angle, set
either the front or rear seat towers higher
or lower than the other.
8. Reinstall the ball detent pin into each seat
tower.
9. Reinstall the shroud.
