Figure 19. Cantilever Seat
CANTILEVER SEAT OPTION
Your power chair may be equipped with an optional cantilever seat. See figure 19. The cantilever seat is equipped with a
speed inhibit system that reduces your power chairs speed by three quarters when the seat is elevated more than 1 - 2 in.
The cantilever seat provides 12 in. of lift, and raising the cantilever seat can change your center of gravity. Always check to
be sure the speed inhibit system is operating properly before using your power chair, and do not move around in your seat
to any great extent when the seat is in a raised position.
The cantilever seat can enhance the capabilities of the power chair in the following ways:
n
By raising the seat, your level of reach is extended to allow more freedom and independence in many environments.
n
By raising your seat, you are closer to the eye level of standing persons. This provides better interaction.
For all the benefits your cantilever seat can provide you, there are limitations.
WARNING! Read and understand this owners manual thoroughly before operating the power chair.
WARNING! Maintain recommended tire pressure in the drive wheels and the caster wheels to ensure
stability. Failure to heed this warning can result in personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING! The cantilever seat option is intended for use on a flat, level surface only. Never raise the seat
from its lowest position on an inclined surface. Failure to heed this warning can result in the power chair
tipping over and causing injury.
