6. The cushion is most

effective when there is
1/2 in. to 1 in. (1.5 cm to
2.5 cm) of air between
the individual’s lowest
bony prominence and the
seating surface.

To adjust the inflation
level:

(a) Slide your hand
between the cushion and the individual.
Slightly lift the individual’s leg and feel for
their lowest bony prominence. Lower their leg to
a sitting position.

(b) While keeping your hand under the
individual’s lowest bony prominence, open the
inflation valve (turn counterclockwise). Release

air until you can barely move your fingertips.

7. Close the inflation valve (turn clockwise).

4. Place the cushion inside the cover. (See COVER PLACEMENT.)

5. Place the cushion on

the wheelchair with
the cells right side up.
The individual should
sit in the wheelchair
in their normal sitting
position. Make sure that
the cushion is centered
underneath the individual.
The inflation valve should
be in the front, on the
left side of the seated
individual.
