Cushion Adjustment, continued
Warnings:
- Check inflation frequently, at least once a day!
- DO NOT use an under-inflated cushion or an over-inflated cushion because the
product benefits will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in an increased risk to skin
and other soft tissue. If the cushion does not appear to be holding air, or if you are
not able to inflate or deflate the cushion, see "Troubleshooting". Immediately contact
your equipment provider, distributor, or Customer Support if the problem persists.
- When possible, use hook and loop fasteners to further secure the cushion to the
seating surface. Hook fasteners are available upon request.
Note: For dual compartment cushions, repeat all steps
for both valves.
1. Place the cushion in the wheelchair with the air cells
facing up and the non-skid surface of the cover facing
down.
2. Open the cover flap*. Slide the hand pump nozzle over
the inflation valve. Open the inflation valve, at least
one full rotation.
*For the Heavy Duty Cover, open the zipper.
3. Inflate until all of the air cells feel firm. Close the
inflation valve until it comes to a stop. Remove the
hand pump. Make sure the inflation valve is closed.
4. The individual should sit in the chair in their usual
position. Confirm that the boniest prominences are
supported by the air cells.
5. Slide your hand between the air cells and the
individual. Lift the leg slightly and feel for the lowest
bony prominence, and then lower the leg to a sitting
position.
6. Open the inflation valve to remove air, keeping
your hand beneath the individual's lowest bony
prominence. Release air until you are barely able to
move your fingertips. Close the inflation valve.
Warning: Make sure that there is at least ½
in. (1.5 cm) of air supporting the individual's
lowest bony prominences.
