Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
If your power chair is not equipped with a transit securement system, you

rear trapeze bars. If you raise or lower only one trapeze bar (front or rear),
you can also change the seat base angle (dump).
MANDATORY! If your power chair is equipped with a transit securement
system and any adjustment to the seat height or seat angle is necessary,
contact your Quantum Rehab Provider. These comfort adjustment can
only be made by a Quantum Rehab Provider.
To change the seat height:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Make sure the power chair is in drive mode.
3. Unplug the controller connector(s) from the power base. See fi gure 1.
