BASIC OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

The TRU-Balance® 3 Power Positioning System

The TRU-Balance 3 Power Positioning System is a unique 
seating system designed specifically for the Quantum Power 
Chair. It is fully adjustable to meet the individual needs of the 
user, and it is mounted to a Quantum 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 TRU-Balance 3 Power 
Positioning System components shown with a TRU-Comfort 
back. The components of the TRU-Comfort back are 
described in “TRU-Comfort Components” (

figure 22). Use 

these diagrams to familiarize yourself with the function and 
location of each component before using the TRU-Balance 3 
Power Positioning System.

NOTE: This manual will discuss toggle operations only. 
Refer to the manual that was supplied with your controller 
for information on joystick and attendant control 
operation. If your TRU-Balance 3 Power Positioning

refer to the operation manual supplied with that device 
and/or your power chair owner’s manual.
