Seat Installation
It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial op-
eration or after transporting your Z-Chair. The seat is attached
to the power base by a height-adjustable seat pedestal.
WARNING! Do not pick up the seat frame
by the armrests. They are free to pivot,
and you may lose control of the seat if
they do so.
To install the seat:
1. Adjust the seat height if necessary. See V. “Comfort
Adjustments.”
2. Set the seat onto the seat pedestal. See figure 9.
3. Install the controller into the armrest, and tighten the
setscrew under the armrest.
4. Plug the controller connector and XLR off-board
charger harness into the power base. See figure 6.
MANDATORY! Prevent controller harness
damage! Avoid routing the controller
harness on the outside of the armrest
pad. Route the harness under the armrest
or toward the inside of the armrest pad.
Use correct tie-down points for the
controller harness to prevent the harness
from getting caught in the drive tires,
pinched in the seat frame, or damaged
when passing through doorways.
Disassembly
The Z-Chair disassembles into four components: the seat,
the battery box, the rear section of the power base, and the
front section of the power base. See figure 10.
To disassemble the Z-Chair:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Place the Z-Chair in drive mode. See III. “Your Z-Chair.”
3. Disconnect the controller anf XLR connector from the
power base.
4. Remove the seat.
5. Grasp the battery box handle and lift up to disengage the box
from the power base, then tilt the box forward slightly and pull
it away from the power base.
6. Push in the toggle latch release button while pulling forward
on the toggle latch. See figure 11.
7. Rotate the toggle latch buckle over the top of the toggle latch
until it snaps into its retainer. See figure 12.
8. Lift the front section up and off of the rear section.
