INSTALLING THE SEAT CUSHION (FIGURE 8)
WARNING
The seat cushion IS NOT designed for use in the treatment of pressure sores or by
individuals at risk of developing pressure sores.
Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have any questions regarding
weight relief, self-examination of the skin, or individual limitations and needs.
Make sure the hook and loop fastening strips are securely attached between the
seat pan and cushion before using.
CAUTION
The cover is designed to protect the foam against a user’s incontinence and to
provide fire retardency so the cushion must not be used without its cover. If the
cover is torn, it must be replaced.
Machine wash cold. Gentle cycle. Mild detergent. NO fabric softeners or bleach.
Tumble dry low or air dry. Warm or hot water or high dryer heat will reduce
flame retardancy.
Wipe down surfaces with a slightly dampened cloth. DO NOT submerge cushion in
water. If cushion foam becomes contaminated because of incontinence, it should be
replaced beause the foam is absorbent and cannot be cleaned.
1. Perform one (1) of the following:
A. FLUSH MOUNT SEAT PAN - Position the cushion with the flap toward the REAR of the
seat pan.
B. DROP MOUNT SEAT PAN - Position the cushion with the flap toward the FRONT of
the seat pan.
2. Ensure the strips of loop fastener are on the underside of the cushion.
3. Align the front edge of the cushion with the front edge of the seat pan.
NOTE: Ensure the cushion is centered on the seat pan. Otherwise the hook and loop fastening strips will
not engage properly.
WARNING
Make sure the hook and loop fastening straps are securely attached between the
seat pan and cushion before using.
4. Secure the cushion to the seat pan, making sure that the strips of loop fastener on the cushion
are securely attached to the strips of hook fastener on the seat pan.
