WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move your power chair or
seating system by any of its removable parts, including the
armrest(s), front rigging(s), seat cushions, seatback, shrouds, or
controller. Use only solid, non-removable frame components to lift
or move your power chair or seating system.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the power chair
armrests and do not use the armrests for weight-bearing purposes,
such as transfers. Such use may cause the power chair to tip,
resulting in a fall from the power chair and personal injury.
WARNING! The controller and controller bracket are non-load
bearing items on your seating system. Do not use the controller or
controller bracket for weight-bearing purposes, such as transfers.
Such use may cause damage to these components, resulting in a
fall from the seating system and personal injury.

Flip-up Armrests

The Flip-up Armrests are designed to "flip up" out of the way for easier
transfer onto and off of the power chair. The armrest height, angle,
width, and swing can be adjusted.
NOTE: Changing the armrest height also changes the armrest
angle. We recommend adjusting the armrest height first and then
adjusting the armrest angle.
To adjust the armrest height:
1. Loosen screws 1, 2, and 3. See figure 9.
2. Raise or lower the armrests to the desired height.
3. Tighten screws 1, 2, and 3. See figure 9.
