THE EURO SEAT 2
The Euro Seat 2 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 Euro Seat 2 components. Use this
diagram to familiarize yourself with the function and location of each
component before using the Euro Seat 2.
PRECAUTIONARY GUIDELINES
Before using the Euro Seat 2, 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 Euro Seat 2.
Always have assistance when you are being seated in the Euro Seat 2.
Follow all of the procedures and heed the warnings as explained in your
power chair owner’s manual.
WARNING! Should the fittings on your Euro Seat 2 become
loose, report the problem immediately to your authorized
Pride Provider.
WARNING! Pride does not recommend using the Euro Seat
2 as a seat in a motor vehicle. The user should transfer into
the vehicle seat and use the vehicle-installed belt restraint
system if and whenever feasible. If your mobility device is
equipped with a manufacturer-installed transit securement
system, please refer to the supplemental safety
information provided with your mobility device.
WARNING! Do not exceed the weight capacity listed in your power
chair owner’s manual or 136 kg (300 lbs.), whichever is less.
WARNING! Extreme temperatures can affect the
temperature of Euro Seat 2 components and may cause
skin irritation. Use caution when your power chair has been
used or stored in an extremely hot or cold environment.
WARNING! Standard foam cushions and other body supports
are not designed for the relief of pressure. If you suffer from
pressure sores, or if you are at risk for pressure sores, you
may need a specialized seating system or a device to
control your posture. Consult your doctor or therapist to
determine if you need such a device for your well being.

demographic majority of users. Your authorized Pride 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 authorized Pride Provider.

restraining device in a motor vehicle.
WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a
seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is your power chair
suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling
in a vehicle should be properly belted into seats approved

two adjustable wrenches.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other side.
To adjust the positioning belt:
1. Once seated, insert the metal tab on one side of the belt into the plastic
housing on the opposite side until you hear a click.
2. Pull the excess strap attached to the metal tab until it is secure, but not
so tight as to cause discomfort.
