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 a Synergy Seating System, refer to the seat adjustment informa-
tion contained in separate manuals. If your power chair is equipped with a contoured seating system, refer to
the following information.
WARNING! If your power chair was configured at your authorized Pride Provider, 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 center
of gravity.
WARNING! Some power chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry
them. Please refer to the specification 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 hex key set

base angle.
