LIFT UP FEATURE
The LINK system can be equipped with a LIFT UP feature.
This innovative feature offers you the possibility of having the LINK assist you in standingonce you have exited the vehicle.
It can also make transferring onto the LINK easier, by adjusting the tilt angle of the seat to fit your needs.
This feature is incorporated into the LINK’s programming by your mobility service provider – where you purchased the
LINK. Please make sure you understand clearly how this feature can be of benefit to you. If you will be using the LINK
simply to level transfer, your mobility service provider will simply omit the option in your LINK’s programming.
This feature cannot be added or modified by you.
It is only available through a certified Adapt Solutions mobility service provider.

MANUAL BACKUP
Your new LINK is equipped with a manual backup system. If you were to encounter a power failure or other functional
problem, this backup system will allow your seat to be returned to the inside of your vehicle.
IMPORTANT: This feature cannot be used with a passenger seated on the unit and will require physical effort.
Please look through the following pages for the steps to followand details on how to use this feature. For further instruction
on how to use the manual backup, a short video can be found by scanning the QR code below.
Please contact your dealer for full diagnostics and needed repairs.
If your LINK will not run and the seat is outside of the vehicle. Follow the steps outlined in the next few pagesto manually
return the seat into the vehicle. (Note: If your LINK has the LIFT UP feature, two additional steps must be done first, found
on page13.)

MANUAL BACKUP
(MOTOR LOCATION)
Remove the plastic trim stamped with the word
LINK on it at the very front of the unit. It is simply
fastened with Velcro tabs on either side. (Note:
The trim underneath it does not need to be
removed.)
There are four (4) holes
under the trim on the
front of the unit. The two
outer holes move the
TRAVEL motor and the
two inner holes move
the TILT motor.
The third motor is the PIVOT and it can be found at
the back of the LINK. (Shown far right: The backup
tool has been designed to curve for the pivot
motor, in case your vehicle is equipped with a
center console.)

9
MANUAL BACKUP
(BACK UP TOOLS)
To move these motors manually, you have been supplied with backup tools that can be found in a pouch, next to this
user manual. The three pieces below require assembly as follows:
Grasp the first two pieces by their respective handles and insert the nut into the slot, then slide it to lock it in place. Next,
take the long, spring like piece and slide it into the assembled tool so that the two gears meet up and lie flush. Then, simply
tighten thumb screw.

MANUAL BACKUP
(CONTINUED)
1) Our first step requires this assembled tool. It attaches to the end of the PIVOT motor of the LINK. Insert the split end
socket into this opening and fit it onto the end of the pivot motor. Turn the handle of the tool CLOCKWISE to make the
LINK pivot into the vehicle. Turn until the LINK is at a 90 degree angle with the vehicle. It will likely be touching the door
of the vehicle.
2) Next, we need to move the TRAVEL motor until the seat is almost touching the steering wheel. To do this, use the ¼ inch
hex tool (ratchet) in the outer hole and turn CLOCKWISE. Check periodically how close you are to the steering wheel as
you do not want to force the seat and risk it getting jammed. 3) Then, use the lever on the side of the seat (or button if
equipped with power recline) to tilt the seatback as far forward as possible. This will give you more space to clear the
steering wheel.

MANUAL BACKUP
(CONTINUED)
4) Now we will move TILT motor using the inner hole and turning our ¼ inch hex tool (ratchet) COUNTER CLOCKWISE. Tilt
the seat down until it is just touching the steering wheel by turning the tool COUNTER CLOCKWISE.
5) We now return to the PIVOT motor and turn CLOCKWISE until the seatback has just cleared the steering wheel.
6) Next, we move the TILT motor until the seat becomes completely level. Use the inner hole andturn COUNTER CLOCKWISE
until the seat is parallel with the floor of the vehicle.
7) Our last step is to PIVOT until the seat is completely inside the vehicle. Turn the PIVOT tool CLOCKWISE until the seat is
returned to its original position in the vehicle.

MANUAL BACKUP
(LIFT UP FEATURE)
If your LINK is equipped with the LIFT UP feature, there are two (2) additional steps that must be done first:

13
MANUAL BACKUP
(LIFT UP FEATURE)
I. Using the ¼ inch hex tool (ratchet) in the inner hole; turn CLOCKWISE. Turn and TILT until the unit is almost touching the
ground. (Note: Even though the visual indicator on the front of the unit says to turn counter clockwise, you must turn clockwise at this
step)
II. Then TRAVEL the seat back using the ¼ inch hex tool (ratchet) in the outer hole and turn CLOCKWISE until the seat is
level. Then simply follow the aforementioned steps.
*NOTE: Be careful not to disconnect or constrict the wires when manually moving the LINK.
Once the problem is resolved, do not forget to return your back up tools to where you found them.
Please contact your dealer for full diagnostics and needed repairs.

14
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
To keep your LINK running properly for many years to come, please follow the recommended maintenance:
Once a year or every 1000 cycles, whichever occurs first, have your Mobility Service Provider perform a visual inspection
of all moving parts. Moving parts should be cleaned and greased using petroleum based liquid spray grease.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT EVER GREASE THE GREEN NYLON SLIDES OR THE LINEAR ACTUATOR SCREWS.
