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 width, armrest angle and height, foot platform height, depth, and
angle, and controller position.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty Seat, Synergy Seat, or Synergy TRU-Balance Power
Positioning System, refer to the information provided in separate manuals.
WARNING! If your power chair was configured by your Quantum Rehab Specialist, please consult
your healthcare professional before making any adjustment that may degrade your power chair’s
performance and safety by changing its center 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.
You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:
! metric/standard socket set and ratchet
! adjustable wrench
! metric/standard hex key set
! thread lock
Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
You can change the seat height to one of three positions in
1-in. increments by raising the front and rear trapeze 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. Make sure the power chair is in drive mode.
3. Loosen the rear shroud fasteners and remove the rear
shroud. See figure 6.
4. Disconnect the controller connector(s) from the power
base. See figure 7.
5. Flip up the seat latch safety. See figure 11.
6. Squeeze the seat latch and release the seat from
the front trapeze bar.
7. Slide the seat forward and remove it from the power
base.
8. Remove the retaining clips that attach the trapeze bars
to the seat posts. See figure 15.
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 rear).
