By cushions if you mean the seat then all it needs is a few wood screws to fasten to the base. if there is no hole for screws in the base frame then you could fix these with angle brackets.
I have a imedic 380. After the warranty period passed (can you believe the horrible timing ) the air massagers stopped working. I have procrastinated fixing it but was wondering how to now. Any suggestions?
Bruce,
There are several approaches to a solution tof the problem you are experiencing.
This chair may have a standard van seat or rehab seating. A standard van seat looks like an SUV seat and a rehab seat has a custom seat and custom back. FYI, the Jazzy Ultra 6 specification for the seat actuator is 4 inches of stroke or elevate.
If you have a van seat the cushion will be too high in its lowest position.
If you have a van seat the vendor can switch it out for rehab seating. Rehab seating is a seat pan (flat plate) with a cushion set on top of it. By varying the cushion thickness you can raise or lower what is technically called the seat to floor height measured from the top of the cushion to the floor. This is what you describe as the minimum seat height.
If you already have rehab seating, you might try a thinner seat cushion, going from 3" to 2" with a denser material.
The chair frame and actuator dimensions are locked in so this dimension cannot be altered. On some occasions, I have been able to remove some top actuator frame plates, but this will only help with about 1/4" of height and substantially weakens the seat to top of actuator mounting. Sometimes this reinforcing plate will be on the bottom of the actuator in the battery box frame.
The chair can go back to the factory and a custom modifications to the seat frame can be made. This is always easier and more cost effective on the front end at time of order of the chair. An inquiry would need to be made to Quantum (Pride) to see if this is even possible.
You may also be able to get a Motion Concepts custom, i.e. shorter actuator (less than 4 inches of stroke). This will also decrease your elevate to less than 4 inches.
Your provider and an experienced rehab tech can come up with some viable solutions. Hope this helps.
Grab the bottom seat cushion at the front of one side and pull it straight up then do the same on the other side. (you will have to pull up very hard) The bottom of the seat clips in. once you have the bottom out take the 2 bolts out of the seat belt fasteners that holds the bottom of the top seat cushion. Then pull straight up on the seat cushion to slide it off two tabs that hold the top.

Release the two latches at the front of the seat cushion (pull back on the latches to release the front of the cushion).
Remove the seat cushion bolt and remove the cushion (it’s roughly in the center. You have to insert a socket extension between the back and bottom seat cushions to take it out, after you find it by pressuring the bottom cushion and looking back in there).
Remove the bolts (each side) securing the seat side bolsters (they are easy to see once the bottom cushion is removed), then remove the side bolters (gently release the clips that hold them in).
Pull the seat forward, then remove the fasteners securing the seat hinge (seat pivot bracket) and remove the seat backs.
