Power Elevating Seat Option
Your power chair may be equipped with a power elevating seat actuator. See figure 23. The power elevating seat
is equipped with a speed inhibit system that reduces power chair speed by one-half whenever the seat is elevated
more than 2.54-5cm (1–2 in.). Always check to be sure the speed inhibit system is operating properly before using
your power chair, and do not move around in your seat to any great extent when the seat is in the raised position.
The power elevating seat can enhance the capabilities of the power chair in several ways:
By raising the seat, you extend your level of reach to allow more freedom and independence in many
environments.
You can easily adjust the seat height to any surface to which you want to transfer. The seat swivels 90 degrees
to whichever side the joystick is located.
By raising the seat, you are closer to the eye level of standing persons. This provides better interaction.
For all the benefits your power elevating seat system can provide you, there are limitations.
WARNING! Always fasten the positioning belt when operating the power elevating seat system.
WARNING! The power elevating seat is intended for use on a level surface only. Never raise the
power elevating seat from its lowest position on an inclined surface. Failure to heed this warning
can result in the power chair tipping over.
WARNING! Never raise the power elevating seat from its lowest position when operating your
power chair on bumpy or uneven surfaces. Failure to heed this warning can result in the power
chair tipping over.
WARNING! Never raise the power elevating seat while your power chair is in freewheel mode.
