IV. ASSEMBLY
Seat Installation
It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial
operation or after transporting your power chair. Most 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 any medium-back or high-back
seat, regardless of seat width or seat depth. The two main
components are aluminum extrusions mounted to the seat
base. These extrusions attach to a pair of trapeze bars that
are mounted to the power base. See figure 11. If your power
chair is equipped with a Synergy Seating System or a Syn-
ergy 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, resulting in personal injury
or damage to the chair.
To install the seat:
1. Tilt the seat back and slide the rear extrusion onto the
rear trapeze bar. See figure 11.
2. Lower the front extrusion onto the front trapeze bar
until the seat locks into place.
3. Flip the seat latch safety down. See figure 11.
WARNING! Make sure the seat latch
safety is flipped down before using your
power chair.
4. Install the controller and route the cable to the back of
the power base. See figure 12.
5. Loosen the rear shroud fasteners counterclockwise one-
quarter turn and remove the rear shroud. See figure 6.
6. Plug the controller connector into the power base. See
figure 7.
7. Reinstall the rear shroud. Turn the rear shroud fasteners
clockwise one-quarter turn. See figure 6.
8. Route the controller cable so that it cannot be pinched
in the seat hinge.
9. Secure the controller cable to the armrest receiver with
wire ties. See figure 13.
