Your Quantum Blast has two main assemblies: the seat and the power base. See figures 2 and 3. There are a wide range of
seating options for the Blast, as well as custom configurations. Commonly, the seating assembly contains a seatback, arm-
rests, joystick, and footrest mounts.  Your Blast may feature a tilt or recline seating system, alternate joystick mount, or a
number of other specialty features to further enhance your mobility. For information on your seating system, refer to the
ownerís manual that accompanies the seating system.

The power base assembly of the Blast consists of two casters wheels, two drive wheels (see figure 2 and 3), two anti-tip
wheels (see figure 3), two drive motors (see figures 7 and 8), two batteries, an electronics controller, and a battery charger
(see figure 4). The Remote Plus controller is standard equipment on the Quantum Blast.
