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, footrest height and angle, and the controller’s position. If your power
chair is equipped with a Synergy Seat, Versa Tilt, or the Export Seat, then refer to the information provided in separate manuals.
If your power chair is equipped with a highback, medium back, or manual recline seat, then refer to the following information.
CAUTION: If your power chair was configured at your authorised Pride provider, please consult your
healthcare professional before changing the seat position or making any other adjustment. Some
adjustments may degrade your power chair’s performance and safety by changing its center of gravity.
You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:
n
metric/standard hex key set
n
metric/standard socket set and ratchet
n
adjustable spanner
Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
There are four seat towers that connect the seat to the power base. See
figures 3 and 8. You can change the seat height to one of three positions in
1-in. increments by raising the seat towers. If you raise or lower only one
set of seat towers (front or rear), you can also change the seat base angle. 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 or seat angle:
1. Remove the ball detent pin from each of the four seat towers.
2. Raise or lower each seat pin to the desired position. To change the angle,
set either the front or rear seat towers higher or lower than the other.
3. Reinstall the ball detent pin into each seat tower.
Reclining Seat
If your power chair is equipped with a reclining seat, you can adjust the
seatback angle with the seatback release lever. The lever is located on the
right side of the seat base.
To adjust the seatback angle:
1. Press down on the lever.
2. Move the seatback down or up to the desired position.
3. Release the lever.
Seatback Angle Adjustment
If your power chair is equipped with an adjustable seatback, you can adjust it
to four (4) different angles: 90°, 102°, 105°, or 107°.
To adjust the seatback angle:
1. Remove the adjusting screws on both seat hinges. See figure 9.
2. Set the seatback at desired angle.
3. Reinstall the screws on both seat hinges and tighten.
