INSTALLATION

Setup

Unfold the overlay and place it on either a conventional or hospital mattress, with the fill valve facing up
and visible at the foot of the bed.

Filling

1. See picture at right: Unscrew and remove
the fill valve cap. Holding the base of the fill
valve, carefully insert your finger into the
opening and gently pull the valve to its raised
position.
2. Locate a nearby faucet to obtain warm water, approximately 98°F - 99°F (36°C - 37°C).
3. Connect one end of a standard garden hose to the faucet. Screw the female end of the garden hose onto
the overlay's male fill valve.
4. Gently turn on the warm water. Do not leave the overlay unattended. Hold the fill valve upright until the
water level reaches the filling line.
5. Turn off the water when the desired level has been reached. Do not overfill.
s NOTICE: If you accidentally overfill the overlay, drain out the excess water immediately.
6. Close the fill valve cap.
s NOTICE: Ensure fill valve cap is securely closed. Crossed threads could result in leakage.
7. Gently push the cap downward to the recessed position.
8. Mark date filled.
Checking for Proper Fill Level
1. Fill the overlay with as little water as possible, as previously described. After all the caps are tightly in
place, check for proper fill level:
2. Position the patient on the overlay with heels at end of mattress and head on pillow. Place your hand
(palm up) under the overlay beneath the patient's buttocks. There should be approximately one to two
inches between these two surfaces. The overlay should contour to the patient's body and not appear hard
from overfilling. If too soft, add more water, and if too hard, remove water, until appropriate fill is achieved.
