Operating the TRU-Balance® Power Positioning
System
The TRU-Balance 3 Power Positioning System is equipped
with a width-adjustable seatback and can be operated
through a controller, a specialty controller, or a toggle (
see
figure 15).
Range of Motion
Your TRU-Balance 3 Seating System provides up to 50° of
tilt, 12 in. (30.5 cm) of lift, can recline 85°–175°, and can tilt/
recline up to 175°.
See figure 2.
NOTE: Certain configurations of a TRU-Balance 3 Power
Tilt and Quantum power bases have a maximum tilt
angle of less than 50°.
There is a power inhibit on your TRU-Balance 3 Power
Positioning System which will not allow you to drive your
power chair while in the tilt position. A full drive inhibit will
activate at a predetermined factory-programmed tilt angle.
See figure 3.
Do not attempt to bypass, remove, reprogram, and/or
adjust the full or partial inhibits that are programmed at
factory settings. Failure to heed this warning may result
in injury.
Check the immediate area to ensure nothing is trapped
in the mechanism before operating the tilt, recline, and/
or lift features. Keep clear prior to and during movement.
NOTE: The addition of an optional vent tray to your
TRU-Balance 3 Power Positioning System 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.
