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, armrest width, foot platform depth, and controller position. Use the steps below to make
comfort adjustments.
WARNING! If your power chair was configured by an authorized Pride Provider, please consult the
authorized Pride Provider 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 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 Adjustment
You can adjust the seat to two different heights in 1-in. in-
crements. Seat height adjustment requires the removal of
the battery box.
To change the seat height:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Disconnect the controller and charger connectors from
the power base.
3. Remove the seat.
4. Loosen the quick release fastener. See figure 10.
5. Remove the clevis pin hardware from the seat pedestal.
6. Reposition the seat pedestal to the desired height.
7. Reinstall the seat pedestal clevis pin.
8. Tighten the quick release fastener. See figure 11.
9. Reinstall the seat.
10. Reconnect the controller and charger connectors.
Quick Release Fasteners
The quick release fastener removes excess play in the seat
pedestal. See figure 10. The quick release fastener consists
of a bolt, a lever, and a nut. See figure 11. The lever has a
cam on the end that allows it to clamp into place. The quick
release fastener has two states: clamped and unclamped.
When the lever is open, the quick release fastener is
unclamped. When the lever is closed, the quick release fas-
tener is clamped.
To clamp the quick release fastener:
1. Make sure the lever is in the open position.
2. Turn the nut clockwise until it is snug.
3. Rotate the lever until it is in the fully closed position.
NOTE: If the lever will not rotate to the fully closed
position, then turn the nut counterclockwise one-quar-
ter or one-half turn.
