IV. ASSEMBLY
Seat Installation
It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial
operation or after transporting your power chair. Most seats
are attached to the power base with the Universal Mounting
System (UMS). The UMS consists of universal parts that
may be attached to any medium-back or high-back seat,
regardless of seat width or seat depth. The two main com-
ponents are aluminum extrusions mounted to the seat base.
These extrusions attach to a pair of trapeze bars that are
mounted to the power base. See figure 11.
WARNING! Do not pick up the seat frame
by the armrests. They are free to pivot,
and you may lose control of the seat if
they do so.
To install the seat:
1. Tilt the seat back and slide the rear extrusion onto the
rear trapeze bar. See figure 11.
2. Lower the front extrusion onto the front trapeze bar until
the seat locks into place.
3. Flip the seat latch safety down.
WARNING! Make sure the seat latch
safety is flipped down before using your
power chair.
4. Install the controller into one of the armrests. Tighten
the setscrew. See figure 11.
5. Lift the armrest straight up, then route the controller cable
so that it cannot be pinched in the seat hinge.

NOTE: It is important that the armrest be lifted straight up prior to securing the controller cable with wire-ties.
6. Plug the controller connector into the power base. See figure 7.
7. Secure the controller cable to the armrest receiver with one or more wire ties. See figure 11.
MANDATORY! Prevent controller harness damage! Avoid routing the controller harness on the outside of
the armrest pad. Route the harness under the armrest or toward the inside of the armrest pad. Use correct
tie-down points for the controller harness to prevent the harness from getting caught in the drive tires,
pinched in the seat frame, or damaged when passing through doorways.
