CRITICAL! Do not put your fingers, toes or any objects into the tilt mechanism while
it is operating. Serious personal injury will occur.
5.6 Power elevating seat option – if fitted
The power elevating seat will allow more freedom and independence by extending your level of
reach. The seat height can be adjusted to match a surface to which you are transferring.
The scissor action of the seat elevator may be a dangerous hazard. Under no circumstances should
you put your hands, fingers, toes or any part of your body in the seat elevator mechanism while it is
operating. Ensure that no one in the vicinity of the wheelchair has any part of their body in the seat
elevator mechanism while it is working.
To operate the power elevating seat:
Bring your power chair to a complete stop on a flat level surface.
Always fasten the positioning belt when operating the power elevating seat.
Push the ‘Accessory Mode Selection’ button on the joystick. Select power elevating seat by
moving the joystick left or right. Once the power elevating seat option is highlighted, moving the
joystick forward or backwards will operate the function.
Once the seat reaches its highest elevation, the action stops; release the joystick at this point.
Before driving, always be sure that the mechanism has returned the seat to its lowest position.
The power seat elevator is fitted with a system that reduces the speed of the power wheelchair
when the seat has been elevated approximately 2”/50mm.
WARNING! Fasten the positioning belt when using the seat elevator
WARNING! Never elevate the seat from its lowest position on an inclined surface
WARNING! Never raise the seat when crossing bumpy or uneven surfaces
WARNING! Do not put the power wheelchair into freewheel mode with the seat
elevated
WARNING! Maintain recommended tyre pressures for good stability
STOP! Do not put your fingers, toes or any other body part or object into the scissor
mechanism while it is operating. Serious personal injury will occur.
5.7 Transfer tilt – if fitted (Frontier Only)
The transfer tilt option allows the seat front to be lowered by up to 2.75”/70mm to improve the
ease of transferring in and out of the power wheelchair. All of the wheelchair driving functionality is
turned off while the chair is tilted forwards to prevent damage to the legrests and footplates which
could occur with the seat in this position.
To operate the transfer tilt:
Bring your power chair to a complete stop on a flat level surface
Select transfer tilt seat on the P&G controller. Once the power elevating seat option is
highlighted (as shown to the right), moving the joystick forward or backwards will operate the
function.
Once the seat reaches its lowest position, the action stops; release the joystick at this point.
Always be sure that the mechanism has returned the seat back to to its highest position or the
wheelchair will not drive.
