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 or TRU-Balance Seating System, refer
to the information provided in separate manuals. If your power chair is equipped with a medium-back, a high-
back, or a reclining seat, refer to the following information.
WARNING! If your power chair was configured at your authorized Pride Provider, please
consult your healthcare professional before changing the seat position or making any
other adjustment. Some adjustments may degrade power chair performance and safety
by changing the center of gravity.

justments:
n metric/standard hex key set
n metric/standard socket set and ratchet
