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 angle, foot platform height and angle, and controller position.

NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty Seat, refer to the information in separate manuals. If
your power chair is equipped with a contour seating system, refer to the following information.

WARNING!  If your power chair was configured by your authorized Pride Provider, please consult your

healthcare professional before changing the seat position or making any other adjustment. Some

adjustments may degrade your power chair’s performance and safety by changing its center of

gravity.

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.

You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:

!

metric/standard socket set and ratchet

!

adjustable wrench

!

metric/standard hex key set

!

thread lock

Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment

You can change the seat height by either raising or lowering the four seat towers.

To change the seat height:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Unplug the controller connector from the power base.
3. Remove the quick-release pins that attach the trapeze bars to the seat towers. See

figure 14.

4. Remove the seat.
5. Remove the battery harnesses.
6. Remove the battery boxes.
7. Remove the ball detent pin from each seat tower as shown in figure 21.
8. Raise or lower each seat tower to the desired position.
9. Install the ball detent pin into each seat tower.
10. Reinstall the battery boxes.
11. Reinstall the battery harnesses.
12. Reinstall the seat and secure the trapeze bars.
13. Plug the controller connector into the power base.

To change the seat angle:
Raise or lower only one set of seat towers (front or rear).
