STEP 1 Place cushioning device on
surface, making sure the air cells
face the user (Use directional labels
as a guide). If applicable, secure
the cushioning device to the surface
using its straps and/or snaps. STEP 3 Slide the pump’s rubber
nozzle over the valve and inflate
the cushioning device until it
begins to arch.
STEP 4 Pinch the pump's nozzle
and turn valve
clockwise
to close. Remove pump. If
applicable, repeat steps 1-4 for
remaining valves.
STEP 5 Have the user sit,
making sure the cushioning
device is properly placed. The
user should be seated in their
normal sitting position.

STEP 6 Slide your hand
between the cushioning
device’s surface and the
user. Feel for their boniest
prominence.
NOTE: DO NOT use an improperly inflated cushioning device. Under-inflation and over-inflation of the
cushioning device sections reduce or eliminate the cushioning device's benefits and could increase risk
to the skin and other soft tissue. Follow the specifications in the adjustment instructions.
STEP 2 If the user will sit on the
cushioning device, the air valve
should be in the user's front, left
corner. Consult your prescriber about
alternative positions of air valves.
Turn valve
counterclockwise to open.
STEP 7 Turn valve counterclockwise to let out air, while keeping your hand
under the person’s boniest prominence. Release air until you can barely
move your finger tips – no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm). For MINI-MAX and
PACK-IT, no less than 1/4 inch (.5 cm), and for Recliner Cushion, Lumbar
Support, Sacral Support, Shower/Commode, and Toilet Seat, no less than
1/2" (1.5 cm). Turn valve
clockwise to close.
