POWER ELEVATING SEAT ADJUSTMENT - OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Your Companion
may be equipped with a power elevating seat. The power elevating seat actuator
is designed to raise or lower the seat with minimal effort by the user. The power elevating seat
switch is located on the tiller below the throttle lever. See figure 10.
FIGURE 10. POWER ELEVATING SEAT SWITCH
Before attempting to operate the power elevating seat for the first
time, make sure your scooter is level and stationary and the speed adjustment dial is
set to its slowest (turtle) setting. Make sure you are familiar with all the scooter
operating procedures in your owner’s manual.
To operate the power elevating seat:
1. Lift up and hold the power elevating seat switch to raise the seat. Release the switch when you
have reached your desired height or upon reaching the highest position.
2. Push down and hold the power elevating seat switch to lower the seat. Release the switch
when you have reached your desired height or upon reaching the lowest position.
How the Power Elevating Seat Functions:
By elevating the power seat to approximately one-half its maximum height your scooter’s speed
will be limited to half the speed dial setting. If the power seat is elevated to approximately
three-quarters its maximum height, the scooter will not move if the throttle control lever is
pressed. The power elevating seat must be lowered to slightly under, three-quarters of its
maximum height in order to drive the scooter again. The scooter can not be driven at full speed
until the scooter’s seat is lowered to under one-half its maximum height.
Problem Solving:
If you encounter an instance where after using the power elevating seat feature that the scooter
will not run, try lowering your seat. Depending on how high the power elevating seat is raised,
your scooter’s speed will be reduced or the scooter may stop operating and give a fault code. For
details, refer to the above section “How the Power Elevating Seat Functions.”
