Cover Components - Air Insert Adjustment

Warnings:
- Check inflation frequently, at least once a day!
- The air insert must be used with the air cells facing the individual.
- The individual's comfort level may be reduced if an air insert is not
positioned correctly, is not properly sized to the foam pad, or is under-
inflated or over-inflated.
- If an air insert does not appear to be holding air, see Troubleshooting.
If the air insert is still not holding air, replace the air insert with the foam
insert and contact an equipment provider or Customer Support.
- Changes in altitude may require adjustment to an air insert. Check the
inflation level of any air inserts when changing altitude.
