Power Elevating Seat Option
Your power chair may be equipped with a power elevating seat actuator. See figure 18. The power elevating seat is equipped with a
system that reduces the power chairs speed by one half whenever the seat is elevated more than 1-2 inches.
The power elevating seat can enhance the capabilities of the power chair in several ways:
n By elevating the seat, your level of reach is extended to allow more freedom and independence in many environments.
n You can easily adjust the power chairs seat height to any surface to which you want to transfer. The seat swivels 90 degrees
to whichever side the joystick is located.
n By raising your seat, you are closer to the eye level of standing persons. This provides better interaction.
For all the benefits your elevating seat can provide you, there are limitations. Observe the following precautions in order to
ensure safe use of the power chair Elevating Seat option.
n Read and understand this owners manual thoroughly before operating the power chair.
n Always fasten the positioning belt (if so equipped) when operating the elevating seat.
n Operate the power chair only on a flat level surface whenever the elevating seat is raised from its lowest position.
WARNING! The power elevating seat option is intended for use on a level surface only. Never raise the seat
from its lowest position on an inclined surface. Failure to heed this warning can result in the power chair
tipping over and causing injury.
WARNING! Never raise the seat from its lowest position when operating your power chair on bumpy or
uneven surfaces. Failure to heed this warning can result in the power chair tipping over and causing injury.
WARNING! Never raise the power elevating seat while your power chair is in the freewheel mode.
WARNING! Always fasten the positioning belt when operating the power elevating seat. The power
elevating seat option is equipped with a system that reduces your Jazzys speed by one half when the seat

your Jazzy.
