Operating the Balance® 3 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 8).
Range of Motion
Your TRU-Balance® 3 Seating System provides up to 50° of tilt, 10 in.
(25.4 cm) of lift, can recline 95°-175°, and can tilt/recline up to 175°. See
figure 3.
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 inhibit will activate at 20°-50°. See figure 2.

3 Power Positioning System may change the overall weight, size,
