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, foot platform height and angle, and controller position. If your power chair is
equipped with a specialty seat, refer to the information provided in separate manuals. If your power chair is equipped with
a high-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 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! Prevent injury. Remove the occupant from the power chair before making any
adjustments.
You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:
n metric/standard socket set and ratchet
n adjustable spanner
Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
The seat is attached to the power base by four seat pins. You can change the seat height to one of four positions in 2.5 cm
increments by raising the front and rear seat pins. If you raise or lower only one set of seat pins (front or rear), you can also
change the seat base angle (dump).
To change the seat height or seat angle:
1. Power off the controller. See VII. “Operation.”
2. Make sure the power chair is in drive mode. See III.
“The Quantum 1650.”
3. Remove the ball detent pins from the seat receivers.
See figure 9.
4. Move the seat up or down to the desired height.
NOTE: Change the seat dump by raising or
lowering only one set of pins (front or back).
5. Reinstall the ball detent pins.
Heavy Duty Drop-in Armrests
The heavy duty drop-in Armrests are attached to the chair
with an armrest locking mechanism that is fastened to the
side rails of the seat. These armrests can be removed for
easy transfer onto and off of the power chair. The position of
the armrest on the chair, as well as the overall height of the
armrest, can be adjusted.
To remove the armrest assembly:
1. Rotate the armrest lock lever rearward. See figure 10.
2. Lift up the armrest assembly.
