COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS
After becoming familiar with your power chairs operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase
your comfort. These adjustments include seat height and angle, armrest angle, foot platform height and angle, and controller
position. If your power chair is equipped with an optional seating system, refer to the information provided in separate
manuals. If your power chair is equipped with a medium-back seat, refer to the following information.
WARNING! If your power chair was configured by your Quantum Rehab Specialist, please consult
your healthcare professional before changing the seat position or making any other adjustment.
Some adjustments may degrade your power chairs performance and safety by changing its centre
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! Prevent injury. Remove the occupant from the power chair before making any
adjustments/repairs.

Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
You can change the seat height to one of two positions in
2.5 cm increments by raising the front seat interface and side
frame handles. See figures 16 and 17. If you raise or lower
either the front seat interface or the side frame handles, you
can also change the seat base angle (dump).
To change the seat height:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Disconnect the controller from the power base. See
figure 6.
3. Remove the seat from the power base.
4. Loosen the screws that attach the side frame handles
and front seat interface to the seat posts. See figures 16
and 17.
5. Remove the retaining clips that secure the seat posts to
the power base.
6. Move the seat posts up or down to the desired height.
NOTE: Change the seat dump by raising or lowering
only one set of posts (front or rear).
7. Reinstall the retaining clips.
8. Remove each screw from the side frame handles and
front seat interface and apply thread lock.
9. Reinstall each screw and tighten.
