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, depth, and
angle, and controller position.

performance and safety by changing its center of gravity.

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

Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
You can change the seat height to one of three positions in
1-in. increments by raising the front and rear trapeze bars.
If you raise or lower only one trapeze bar (front or rear),
you can also change the seat base angle (dump).
To change the seat height:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Make sure the power chair is in drive mode.
3. Loosen the rear shroud fasteners and remove the rear
shroud. See figure 6.
4. Disconnect the controller connector(s) from the power
base. See figure 7.
5. Flip up the seat latch safety. See figure 11.
6. Squeeze the seat latch and release the seat from
the front trapeze bar.
7. Slide the seat forward and remove it from the power
base.
8. Remove the retaining clips that attach the trapeze bars
to the seat posts. See figure 15.
9. Move the trapeze bars up or down to the desired height.
NOTE: Change the seat dump by raising or lowering
only one set of towers (front or rear).
