Power Elevating Seat Operation
If your power chair is equipped with a power elevating seat, you can change the seat height either through the controller or
through a toggle switch mounted to one of the armrests.
NOTE: For information on how to raise and lower your seat through the controller, contact your authorized
Pride Provider.
To operate the toggle switch:
1. Push the toggle switch forward to raise the seat.
2. Pull back on the toggle switch to lower the seat.
The power elevating seat system has an upper and a lower limit of travel. Once the actuator reaches either one of these
limits, you should continue to hear and/or feel the actuator motor running. This is because there is a clutch mechanism that
allows the motor to continue running after the actuator has reached its limit. This clutch works at both the top and bottom
extensions of the lift.
MANDATORY! Read and understand this owner’s
manual thoroughly before operating the power chair.
WARNING! Failure to heed the following warnings
may cause the power chair to tip over.
Figure 25. Power Elevating Seat Actuator
WARNING! Do not allow the motor to run more than a few seconds after the mechanism reaches
the top or bottom limit.
NOTE: The power elevating seat option is equipped with a system
that reduces the speed of the power chair by one-half when the
seat is elevated more than 1-2 in (2.54-5.08 cm). Always check to
be sure this system is operating properly before using your power
chair.
