Seat Assembly Operation
The power wheelchair comes with removable/height adjustable arms. These arms are designed to
provide support for your arms while seated on the wheelchair, and for assistance when getting on and
off of the wheelchair.
Each arm is designed to hold 300 pounds, and NOT THE PERSONS
TOTAL BODY WEIGHT. Persons with no use of their legs, or no ability to transfer weight to
the fl oor should seek other means of assistance (slide board, helper, etc.) when transferring in
and out of the wheelchair. Arm failure will result if excess weight is applied to the arm.
Width adjustable arm adjustments
1. Loosen the black knobs under the edge of the seat. Rotate counter clockwise to loosen.
2. Slide the armrests in or out as needed.
3. Tighten the black knobs. Rotate clockwise to tighten.
Should you wish to remove the armrests, simply pull them out when the knobs are loose. Re-
member to tighten the knobs to avoid their loss.
Seat Height Adjustment
The seat assembly is height adjustable.
1. Remove the seat assembly by unpinning the seat and lifting the seat assembly
straight up. Set aside.
2. Locate the seat height adjustment bolts and nut located on the post where pins were removed.
3. Remove the bolt, nut, and washers. Take note of their position in order to correctly re
place them.
4. The seat height post will now move up and
down.
5. Position the seat height to new desired position.
6. Replace the washers, bolt, and nut in their
proper order. Tighten until all play is
eliminated.
7. Replace the seat assembly and test the new
height.
It is recommended that the seat assembly be positioned
at the lowest comfortable seat height. The power wheel-
chair's
stability will be improved with a lower height.
