Synergy Seat www.pridemobility.com
THE SYNERGY SEAT
The Synergy Seat is a unique seating system designed specifically for the
Pride Power Chair. It is fully adjustable to meet the individual needs of the
user, and it is mounted to a Pride power base to provide maximum
maneuverability.
Reusable hook and loop fasteners are included in your owner’s package for
use in attaching the seat cushion to the seat base. These fasteners are not
intended for use on cushions with anti-skid material, as they may damage
the seat cushion.
Figure 1 provides information on the Synergy Seat components. Use this
diagram to familiarize yourself with the function and location of each
component before using the Synergy Seat.

8 Basic Operation Instructions
Synergy Seat www.pridemobility.com
PRECAUTIONARY GUIDELINES
Before using the Synergy Seat, please read the following. These guidelines
are provided for your benefit and will aid you in the safe operation of the
seating system.
Turn off the power before you are seated in the Synergy Seat.
Always have assistance when you are being seated in the Synergy Seat.
Follow all of the procedures and heed the warnings as explained in your
power chair owner’s manual.
WARNING! The center of gravity of your seating system
was factory set to a position that meets the needs of the
demographic majority of users. Your Quantum Rehab
Provider has evaluated your seating system and made any
necessary adjustments to suit your specific requirements.
Do not change your seating configuration without first
contacting Pride Mobility Products or your Quantum Rehab
Provider.
WARNING! Should the fittings on your Synergy Seating
System become loose, report the problem immediately to
your Quantum Rehab Provider.
WARNING! Your Synergy Seating System is not approved
for use as a seat in any vehicle. Use the seats and occupant
restraints provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle.
WARNING! Extreme temperatures can affect the
temperature of your seating system components and may
cause skin irritation. Use caution when your power chair
has been used or stored in an extremely hot or cold
environment.
MANDATORY! Do not exceed the weight capacity listed in
your power chair manual or 300 lbs. (136 kg), whichever is
less. If equipped with a Synergy Seat HD, do not exceed the
weight capacity of the power chair or 650 lbs. (295 kg),
whichever is less.
WARNING! Possible pinch point hazard! Ensure all
ventilator wires and tubes are routed properly to avoid
component damage during seat adjustment and power
chair operation. Follow the wire routing instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the ventilator.
NOTE: The addition of an optional vent tray to your Synergy Seat may
change the overall weight, size, and/or center of gravity of your power
chair. Do not make any changes to your seating configuration without
contacting your Quantum Rehab Provider.

Basic Operation Instructions 9
www.pridemobility.com Synergy Seat
Motor Vehicle Transport
The Synergy Seat is not approved for use as a seat in a motor vehicle unless
the power base is equipped with a manufacturer-approved transit securement
system and the seat is labeled to show conformity to the standards of ANSI/
RESNA WC/Vol. 4, Section 19/ISO 7176-19. Pride recommends that the
power chair user transfer into the vehicle seat and use the vehicle-installed
restraint system if and whenever feasible. The power chair should then be
stored and secured in the vehicle. In addition, all removable power chair
parts, including the armrests, seat, front riggings, controller, and shrouds,
should be removed and properly secured during motor vehicle transport.
WARNING! The Synergy Seating System is not approved for
use as a seat in any vehicle unless it has been tested and
approved for occupied use according to ANSI/RESNA WC/
Vol. 4, Section 19/ISO 7176-19 standards. Use the seats
and occupant restraints provided by the manufacturer of
the vehicle. If your power chair is equipped with a
manufacturer-installed transit securement system, please
refer to the supplemental safety information provided with
your power chair.
The steel brackets mounted to the front and rear of the Synergy Seating
System (see figure 2) can provide securement points when full disassembly
and stowage of the power chair is not feasible. These brackets should only
be used with an unoccupied power chair that is secured by an approved
securement system in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Pride makes no representation of suitability for use with specific securement
systems nor can we anticipate the various situations that might arise in use
of public transportation systems. For detailed instructions on the use of
securement systems, refer to the manufacturer of the system used.
WARNING! The Synergy securement brackets are for
unoccupied use only. The power chair occupant must
transfer into the vehicle seat and use the vehicle-installed
restraint system during motor vehicle transport.
When securing the power chair for unoccupied transport, adhere to the
following precautions:
Always ensure that the power chair motors are in drive mode (drive
engaged) and that the power chair controller is turned off.
Secure the power chair in a forward-facing position in the vehicle.
Attach tie-down straps (front and rear) only to the provided securement
points. Tighten the straps to sufficiently remove all slack.

10 Basic Operation Instructions
Synergy Seat www.pridemobility.com
Figure 2. Unoccupied Securement Brackets on a Synergy Seat
WARNING! Never attach tie-downs to adjustable, moving,
or removable parts of the power chair such as armrests,
front riggings, and wheels.
Position the anchor points for the rear tie-down straps directly behind
the rear securement points on the power chair. The front tie-down straps
should anchor to floor points that are spaced wider than the power chair
to provide increased lateral stability.
WARNING! Ensure unoccupied power chairs are properly
secured to the motor vehicle during transport. Power
chairs that are not properly secured can become a hazard
to vehicle passengers in the event of a crash, sudden
stopping, or swerving, as the power chair could tip or slide
out of place.

Basic Operation Instructions 11
