ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
• HEAL PAD
NOTE: DO NOT use an improperly
inflated cushioning device. Under-
inflation and over-inflation of the
air cells reduce or eliminate the
product's benefits and could increase
risk to the skin and other soft tissue.

ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
• THE ADAPTOR
Each of the AIR SPRING ® ADAPTOR's cells is independently sealed, allowing it to be cut to fit various shapes
such as sides of wheelchairs, trays, head and foot rests, inside of helmets, or anywhere uncontrolled
movement may need protection. The ADAPTOR should be cut with scissors to the shape of the surface to
which it will be applied. Cut between the air cells when possible. Air cells that are cut will provide no
cushioning. ROHO, Inc. suggests using hook and loop fastener strips for attachment.
low height cells which make a
“V” area. The higher cells should
contact the back of the leg/arm.
STEP 5 The heel/elbow should
barely engage the low height
cells. If not, release air by turning
valve
counterclockwise until
desired contact is achieved.
STEP 6 Visually or with a finger,
check to ensure that the heel/
elbow is not touching the base of
the HEAL PAD.
