Initial Assembly
Your power chair may require some assembly either before initial use
or after transportation. It may also require disassembly to make some
comfort adjustments.
Figure 5 details those parts of the power chair that
are designed to be disassembled and assembled by an end user or by a
qualifi ed caregiver before using the product or making comfort adjustments.
NOTE: Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the disassembly
or adjustment of the power chair must be replaced with a new nut.
Nylon insert lock nuts should not be reused as it may cause damage
to the nylon insert, resulting in a less secure fi t. Replacement nylon
insert lock nuts are available at local hardware stores or through your
Quantum Rehab Provider.
Seat Installation
It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial operation or after
transporting your power chair. Contour seats are attached to the power
base with the Universal Mounting System (UMS). The UMS consists of
universal parts that may be attached to the seat, regardless of seat width or
seat depth. The two main components are aluminum extrusions mounted
to the seat base. These extrusions attach to a pair of trapeze bars that are
mounted to the power base.
See fi gure 6.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Synergy Seat or a TRU-
Balance Power Positioning System, refer to the information provided
in separate manuals.
WARNING! Do not pick up the seat frame by the armrests. They are free
to pivot, and you may lose control of the seat if they do so.
To install the seat:
1. Tilt the seat back and slide the rear extrusion onto the rear trapeze bar.
See fi gure 6.
2. Lower the front extrusion onto the front trapeze bar until the seat latches
into place.
3. Flip the seat latch safety down.
WARNING! Make sure the seat latch safety is fl ipped down before
using your power chair.
4. Install the controller and route the harness to the back of the power
base. See fi gure 7 or 8.
