ROHO DRY FLOATATIO cushion - Manual (Page 9)

COVER REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT:
While a cover is not required, a ROHO cover is included with every standard cushion to help prevent the
cushion cells from protruding beyond the wheelchair seat and aid in slide board transfers. The bottom of
the cover is made of non-skid material, helping to keep the cushion more secure in the chair.
To cover your cushion:
1. Unfold the cover with the non-skid material facing upward and zipper facing you.
2. Insert your cushion into the cover with the air cells down.
3. Standard Cover (UCFR)- Pull the grommeted corner of your cushion through an opening at the corner of
the cover until the metal grommet is exposed. Repeat this procedure until all four corners are exposed.
(Be careful when pulling the valve stem and rope handle through the opening).
Heavy Duty Cover (HD)- Gently insert your cushion into the cover, with the valve towards the zipper.
4. Close the zipper and turn the cushion over so cells are facing up. Your cushion is now ready for use as
long as it has been properly adjusted (see Adjustment Instructions in this manual).
If properly fitted, the cushion will sit flat on the chair (non-skid material on the bottom) with all cells
covered and all four corners showing (not applicable for HD).
To remove the cover: Unzip and remove the cover from the cushion.
