ENGLISH
FITTING THE J2 PLUS CUSHION
A healthcare professional should ideally fit a pressure-distributing
cushion to you. Improper cushion fit may be detrimental to the
performance of a pressure-distributing cushion and its support of
the body.
Place the cushion to the back of the wheelchair with the material
identification tags and fluid pad or the foam inserts 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 or on the foam inserts in the seat well of the
cushion. Your hip bones (trochanters) should be supported by
the foam along the lateral (outside) borders of the well. 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: We recommend using a J2 Plus Solid Seat Insert. It will
optimize the performance of your J2 Plus Cushion, help provide
better positioning and increase the life of the cushion.
ASSEMBLING THE SEAT WELL
To Insert Well Foam (Figure 1)
Stack the 3 layers of foam (foam well inserts) with smallest toward
the bottom and largest on top. Be sure the beveled edges are
in the same direction as the well cutout forming a single, angled
edge. Fold all 3 layers of foam and insert into pocket until they fit
fully into the well. Allow the foam to unfold so that the rounded
corners fit snugly into the back of the pocket.
To Insert Fluid Pad (Figure 2)
Fold fluid pad in half so that Velcro® is on the outside. Slide Fluid
Pad into pocket, making certain that the back of the pad is toward
the opening of the envelope. The word "Back" is printed on a tag
on the Fluid Pad. Position the pad to the correct side of the pocket
and unfold. Be certain that Velcro on the Fluid Pad mates to
Velcro in the urethane pocket.
To Reseal the Urethane Envelope (Figures 3 & 4)
Position urethane envelope with dark gray side up. Tuck dark
gray layer between insert foam and well pocket. Folding left and
right sides in at 45° angles will form a smooth flap (Fig. 3). Fold
the light gray flap around entire cushion thickness and fasten by
aligning 3 Velcro strips (Fig. 4).

EASY MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Monthly cleaning and regular maintenance may help extend the
life of your cushion
To Clean Cover
Remove the cover and turn it inside out. Close the zipper and
machine wash on warm cycle and drip or tumble dry on low heat.
Do not use industrial dryers. Do not steam autoclave. Do not
bleach.
NOTE: When the cover is removed from the cushion for cleaning,
inspect the fluid pad or foam inserts and foam base for unusual
wear. Feel the fluid for any inconsistencies. If inconsistencies are
found, knead the fluid pad to original consistency and/or call your
Sunrise Medical supplier.
To refit cover after washing, reinstall any accessory items or fluid
/ foam inserts, then fit the cover back over the foam base and
urethane encased foam overlay. Ensure the back of the cover
matches up to the back of the foam base.
Use only JAY designated covers on JAY products
To Clean Foam Base
Remove the cover, urethane encased foam overlay pad, and any
accessory parts from the foam base. Wipe with warm water and
soap. Wipe off with a clean cloth.
NOTE: Avoid submersion of the foam base in water
Reinstall the urethane encased foam overlay pad, and any
accessory parts, then fit cover back over complete assembly.
Ensure the back of the cover matches up to the back of the foam
base.
To Clean the Urethane Encased Foam Overlay Pad
Remove the cover from the complete assembly. Remove the
overlay and wipe with warm water and soap. Wipe off with a clean
cloth.
NOTE: Do not submerge in water. Water may be absorbed into
the foam through the air vents on the top of the pad or through
the rear Velcro closure.
Reinstall overtop of the foam base, and fit the cover back over the
complete assembly.
Ensure the back of the cover matches up to the back of the foam
base.
