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 qualified 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 fit. Replacement nylon 
insert lock nuts are available at local hardware stores or 
through your Quantum Rehab Provider.

NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a TB-Flex 
Seat or a TRU-Balance®  3 Power Positioning System, 
refer to the information provided in separate manuals.

Prevent controller harness damage! Avoid routing the 

controller harness on the outside of the armrest pad. 

Route the harness under the armrest or toward the 

inside of the armrest pad. Use correct tie-down points 

for controller harness to prevent the harness from 

getting caught in the wheels, pinched in the seat frame, 

or damaged when passing through doorways.
