E NGLI SH
FITTING THE J2 DEEP CONTOUR (DC) CUSHION
WARNING:
• Please read the "WARNINGS" Section at the
beginning of this document.
Select the cushion to match your hip width when in the
seated position. The cushion length should extend to
within 25 mm - 50 mm, (1"-2"), from the back of the
knees. Place the cushion to the back of the wheelchair
with the material identification tags and fluid pad toward
the rear. When fit correctly, your hips should be to the
back of the chair. Your ischials (seat bones) should be
centered on the Jay Flow™ Fluid pad, (Fig.4.0), in the
seat well of the cushion, (Fig.5.0).
Proper footrest adjustment may enhance sitting comfort
and help lower peak sitting pressures. Adjust the
footrests so your legs rest firmly but comfortably on the
cushion.
NOTE: Do not use the wheelchair's seat width as a
guide in determining the appropriate cushion width.
Improper cushion fit may be detrimental to the
performance of a pressure-distributing cushion and its
support of the body.
CAUTION:
• Avoid using the cushion on overly stretched seat
upholstery. Stretched upholstery does not provide
adequate support for the cushion and improper
positioning may result.
• Replace stretched upholstery or purchase the J2
Deep Contour Solid Seat Insert or order the J2 Deep
Contour Cushion with the Solid Drop Seat. The Solid
Drop Seat Option is attached to the cushion for a
one piece design that replaces the wheelchair's seat
upholstery, (Fig.3.0).
• Avoid using overly stretched back rest upholstery.
Stretched back upholstery does not provide
adequate support for the body and improper
positioning may result.
• Replace stretched back rest upholstery or purchase
a back support product from Sunrise that is
appropriate for you. Contact an authorised supplier
for a free demonstration of these products.
