Seat Installation
It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to
initial operation or after transporting your power chair.
For unoccupied transit power chairs, contour seats are
attached to the power base with the Universal Mount-
ing System (UMS). The UMS consists of universal
parts that may be attached to the seat, regardless of seat
width or seat depth. The two main components are alu-
minum extrusions mounted to the seat base. These
extrusions attach to a pair of trapeze bars that are
mounted to the power base. See figure 7.
For occupied transit power chairs, the seat plate is
secured to the four seat mounting brackets on the
power base. The seat plate is located on the bottom of
the seat. See figure 9.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Spe-
cialty Seat, Synergy Seat, or a TRU-Balance Power
Positioning System, refer to the information provided
in separate manuals.
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 (UMS):
1. Tilt the seat back and slide the rear extrusion onto
the rear trapeze bar. See figure 7.
2. Lower the front extrusion onto the front trapeze bar
until the seat locks into place.
3. Flip the seat latch safety down.
WARNING! Make sure the seat latch
safety is flipped down before using
your power chair.
4. Install the controller and route the harness to the
back of the power base. See figures 8 or 10.
