COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS

After becoming familiar with your Blast’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your

comfort, such as seat height and angle, armrest height and angle, footrest height and angle, and the controller or master remote’s

position. If your Blast is equipped with either the Synergy Seat, the Versa Tilt or some other specialty seating system, refer to the

information provided in separate manuals. If your Blast is equipped with a medium back, a highback, or a reclining seat, refer

to the following information.

CAUTION!  If your Blast was configured at your Pride provider, please consult your health care professional

before changing the seat position or making any other adjustment. Some adjustments may degrade your

Blast’s performance and safety by changing its center of gravity.

You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:

n

metric/standard hex key set

n

metric/standard socket set and ratchet

n

adjustable wrench

Seat Height and Angle Adjustment

There are four seat towers that connect the seat to the power base. See

figure 4. You can change the seat height to one of three positions in 1-in.

increments by raising the seat towers.  If you raise or lower only one set of seat

towers (either front set or rear set), you can also change the seat base angle.

To change the seat height or seat angle:

1. Unplug the controller from the electronics tray.

2. Remove the bolt that fastens the seat to each of the four seat towers.

3. Hold the seat by the seat base and lift the seat off the seat towers.

WARNING!  Do not pick up the seat by the armrests. They

are free to pivot, and you may lose control of the seat if

they do so, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to

the chair.

4. Set the seat aside.

5. Rotate the four fasteners on the middle shroud. See figure 10.

6. Lift off the shroud.

7. Remove the four fasteners on the back shroud and remove the shroud.

See figure 10.

8. Remove the bolt that fastens each of the four seat towers to the frame.

See figure 11.

9. Raise or lower each seat tower to the desired position. To change the

angle, set either the front or rear seat towers higher or lower than the other.

10. Reinstall the bolt into each seat tower.

11. Reinstall the both rear and middle shrouds.

12. Reinstall the seat.

13. Plug the controller into the electronics tray.
