COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS
After becoming familiar with your power chair’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase
your comfort such as controller position and anti-tip wheel height.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Synergy Seat or TRU-Balance 2 Power Positioning System
refer to the information provided in separate manuals.
WARNING! The centre of gravity of your power chair was factory set to a position that meets the
needs of the demographic majority of users. Your Quantum Rehab Dealer has evaluated your power
chair and made any necessary adjustments to suit your specific requirements. Do not change your
seating configuration without first contacting Pride Mobility Products or your Quantum Rehab Dealer.
WARNING! Your seat should only be installed or adjusted by a Quantum Rehab Dealer.
WARNING! Some power chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry
them. Please refer to “Appendix I - Specification” for specific component weights before you
disassemble the power chair.
WARNING! Remove the occupant from the power chair before making any 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 Dealer.
