THE TRU-BALANCE 2 POWER POSITIONING SYSTEM

The TRU-Balance 2 Power Positioning System 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.

Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 provide information on the TRU-Balance 2 Power Tilt,

TRU-Balance 2 Power Recline, TRU-Balance 2 Power Tilt and Recline, and TRU-Balance 2 Lift and Tilt components. Use these diagrams to familiarize yourself with the function and location of each component before using the TRU-Balance 2 Power Positioning System.

PRECAUTIONARY GUIDELINES

Before operating the TRU-Balance 2 Power Positioning System, 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 TRU-Balance 2 Power

Positioning System.

Always have assistance when you are being seated in the TRU-Balance

2 Power Positioning System.

Follow all of the procedures and heed the warnings as explained in your power chair owner’s manual.

WARNING! The center of gravity of your seating system was factory set to a position that meets the needs of the demographic majority of users. Your Quantum Rehab 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 Quantum Rehab Provider.

WARNING! Should the fittings on your seating system become loose, report the problem immediately to your

Quantum Rehab Provider.

WARNING! In the event of a loss of power to the power chair, transfer to a safe position, seeking assistance if needed. Contact your Quantum Rehab Provider immediately to report the incident.

www.quantumrehab.com



WARNING! Your seating system is not approved for use as a seat in any vehicle. Use the seats and occupant restraints provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle.

MANDATORY! Do not exceed the weight capacity listed in your power chair owner’s manual or 300 lbs. (136 kg), whichever is less.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)

WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to the control system. Every electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.

WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of radio transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility vehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your mobility vehicle and avoid coming into close proximity of radio and TV stations.

WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the electrically-powered mobility vehicle can increase the susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your power chair in any way not authorized by Pride.

WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance of other electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.

NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, go to the Resource Center on www.pridemobility.com. If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn your power chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride or your

Quantum Rehab Provider to report the incident.

POWER SEAT ELEVATOR OPTION

The power seat elevator provides lift of up to 7 in. (17.78 cm) from the power base using a single post plate and actuator. See figure 34. The maximum weight capacity of the power seat elevator is 300 lbs. (136 kg) and is available on some models. Contact your Quantum Rehab Provider for specific information. The power seat elevator operates through the power chair controller or toggle switch.

NOTE: When the seat is elevated, a 1/4-speed drive inhibit is engaged and you are no longer able to tilt the seat.

NOTE: Operation instructions using the joystick 4-way toggles are discussed below. If you are using a different toggle, the Attendant Control

Module, or a different operating device, please refer to the appropriate section of this manual or the operation manual supplied with that device and/or your power chair owner’s manual.

To operate the power seat elevator:

1. Pull the toggle switch backward to elevate the seat.

2. Push the toggle switch forward to lower the seat.

PROHIBITED! Avoid exposure to rain, snow, ice, salt, or standing water whenever possible. Maintain and store in a clean and dry condition.

NOTE: There are no safety pressure switches if your TRU-Balance 2

Power Positioning System is equipped with a power seat elevator.



MANUAL RECLINE OPTION (TRU-BALANCE 2 POWER

TILT ONLY)

If your TRU-Balance 2 Power Positioning System includes Pride’s Manual

Recline Option, you can adjust the seatback to angles ranging from the minimum recline position (90° from the seat base) to the maximum recline position (180° from the seat base). See figure 35. When the seat is reclined past

110°, the chair will be in full inhibit. Returning the seat to an angle of less than 110° degrees will restore power to the motors.

Recline Release Lever

Figure 35. Minimum and Maximum Recline Angles

WARNING! Never recline the seatback while the chair is tilted. This could cause severe injury to the user. A safety feature will not allow you to tilt the seat while it is reclined past 110°. To reactivate the tilt feature, return the reclining seatback to an upright position.

To recline the seatback:

1. Grasp the handles at the top of the seatback.

2. Squeeze both of the recline release handles simultaneously, and position the seatback to the desired angle. See figure 36.

3. Release the handles to lock the seatback into position.
