MAINTENANCE 

Inspect all head support components monthly. 

Check and tighten all fasteners and adjustment points.

Inspect all materials for wear such as stretching, fraying, 

fractures, and bends. Some wear with regular use is expect-

ed. Signs of excessive wear to any component should be 

addressed by contacting your dealer or customer service 

for repair or replacement parts.

STORAGE

DISPOSAL

REUSE

INSPECTION

Assembly or individual parts should not be stored in extreme 
hot or cold temperatures. Only store in a clean and dry place 
at room temperature. 

Do not allow exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods 
of time. This could age the product more rapidly and decrease 
its effectiveness.

Do not store where there is risk of open flame or spark.

Please contact your local authorities for regulations on the 
proper disposal of your product and its components.

You must re-fit the support to the new user or after extended 
periods of non-use by the same user. Follow the "Set up & 
Adjustments" procedure on Pages 16-20 to do so.

Before transferring to a new user, the product must be com-
pletely cleaned and disinfected as outlined on page 21. 

DO NOT incinerate as a means of disposal.
