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 the con-
troller’s position.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty Seat, Synergy Seat, or Synergy TRU-Balance, refer to
the information provided in separate manuals. If your power chair is equipped with a contoured seating system,
refer to the following information.
WARNING! The center of gravity of your power chair was factory set to a position that meets the
needs of the demographic majority of users. Your Quantum Rehab Provider has evaluated your
power chair and made any necessary adjustments to suit your specific requirements. Do not
change your seating configuration without first contacting Pride Mobility Products or your
Quantum Rehab Provider.
WARNING! Some power chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry
them. Please refer to “Appendix I – Specifications” for specific component weights before you
disassemble the power chair.
WARNING! Remove the occupant from the power chair before making any adjustments.

Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
There are four steel towers that connect the seat to the
power base. See figure 6. You can change the seat
height to one of three positions by raising the seat tow-
ers. If you raise or lower only one set of seat towers
(front or rear), you can also change the seat base angle.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a power
elevating seat, then you change the seat height
through the controller or a switch.
To change the seat height:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Ensure the power chair is in drive mode. See
figure 8.
3. Unplug the controller connector(s) from the
electronics tray.
4. Flip up the seat latch safety. See figure 13.
5. Squeeze the seat latch and release the seat from the
front trapeze bar.
6. Slide the seat forward and remove it from the
power base.

seat towers. See figure 14.
