Important Safety Information, continued
Cautions:
- Keep the cushion away from sharp objects.
- Changes in altitude may require adjustment to the cushion.
- If the cushion has been in temperatures lower than 32° F (0° C)
and exhibits unusual stiffness, allow the cushion to warm to room
temperature.
- DO NOT use a pump, cover or repair kit other than those
compatible with the product.
- DO NOT modify the cushion or any components. Doing so may
result in damage to the product and will void the warranty.
- DO NOT allow the cushion to come into contact with oil-based
lotions or lanolin. They may degrade the material.
- Prolonged exposure to ozone may degrade materials used in the
cushion, affect the performance of the cushion, and void the product
warranty.
- Periodically, check components for damage and replace if
necessary. See "Troubleshooting".
- DO NOT use any of the following as a handle for carrying or pulling
the cushion: inflation valve(s), hose(s), or quick disconnect (Sensor
Ready Cushion). Carry by the base of the cushion insert, by the foam
base, or by the carrying handle on the Hybrid Elite Cover. Using any
other components to carry or pull the cushion may damage the
product.
ROHO Hybrid Elite Cushion Operation Manual
Warnings - Motor Vehicle Transportation:
- Failure to pay attention to these warnings could result in severe injury
to the individual in the wheelchair or to others.
- Whenever possible, transfer out of the wheelchair and into a
manufacturer-installed vehicle seat without the cushion, and use the
vehicle's crash-tested occupant restraint system.
- The cushion must be correctly and securely installed, used, and
maintained according to the instructions and warnings provided by
the cushion manufacturer.
- When the wheelchair is used as the vehicle seat, the cushion
should only be used with wheelchair frames that are equipped with
securement points specified in ANSI/RESNA WC-4:2017, section
19 (WC19) or ISO 7176-19, and that have been successfully crash
tested on a wheelchair in the forward-facing position.
- The wheelchair with the cushion must be used with an effective
wheelchair securement system and a properly positioned, crash-
tested pelvic and shoulder-belt restraint, or Wheelchair Tiedown and
Occupant Restraint System (WTORS), following the manufacturer's
instructions.
- If the cushion has been involved in an accident during transport,
check the cushion for damage and replace if necessary. See the
"Troubleshooting" section in this manual.
- For more information about safely transporting wheelchair users,
refer to: http://wctransportation-safety.umtri.umich.edu/ridesafe-
brochure.
- A ROHO QUADTRO SELECT Cushion was included in a wheelchair
seating system that was dynamically tested by a third-party testing
facility for use in a motor vehicle. The system tested meets all
applicable criteria for wheelchair seating systems proposed in
Section 5.1 of ANSI/RESNA WC-4:2017 Section 20 "Wheelchair
Seating Systems for Use in Motor Vehicles.
- Test results apply to seating systems intended for use by adults
and children with a total body mass greater than 23 kg (51 lb, or
approximately 6 years of age) who are transported facing forward in
their wheelchairs in all types of motor vehicles.
- To determine whether motor vehicle third-party testing has been
performed with a specific seating system combination, refer to all
provided equipment operation manuals or contact the equipment
manufacturer.
