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 seat height and angle, armrest angle, foot platform height and angle and controller position.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with an optional seating system, refer to the information provided in
separate manuals. If your power chair is equipped with a medium-back, a high-back or a reclining seat, refer
to the following information.
WARNING! If your power chair was configured by your authorised Pride Dealer, please consult
your healthcare professional before changing the seat position or making any other adjustment.
Some adjustments may degrade your power chair’s performance and safety by changing its centre
of gravity.
WARNING! Some power chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry
them. Please refer to the specifications table for specific component weights before you
disassemble the power chair.
WARNING! Remove the occupant from the power chair before making any adjustments.

Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
You can change the seat height to one of two positions in
2.5 cm (1 in.) increments by raising the front and rear tra-
peze bars. If you raise or lower only one trapeze bar (front
or rear), you can also change the seat base angle (dump).
To change the seat height:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Loosen the rear shroud fasteners and remove the rear
shroud. See figure 6.
3. Disconnect the controller connectors from the power
pod. See figure 7.
4. Flip up the seat latch safety. See figure 13.
5. Squeeze the seat latch and release the seat from the
front trapeze bar.
6. Slide the seat forward and remove it from the power base.
7. Loosen the screws that attach the trapeze bars to the
seat posts. See figure 14.
8. Remove the retaining clips that secure the seat posts to
the power base. See figure 14.
9. Move the trapeze bars up or down to the desired height.
NOTE: Change the seat dump by raising or lowering
only one set of towers (front or back).
