Using The Twist Inflation Valve (FIGURE 6)
NOTE: The Infinity AirFlo CAN be inflated using the twist
inflation valve. This is provided in the event the quick dis-
connection valve CANNOT be used.
1. Remove the outer cover. Refer to REMOVING/IN-
STALLING SEAT COVERS in this instruction sheet.
2. Feed the twist inflation valve through the twist infla-
tion valve holder on the side of the seat (FIGURE 6).
3. Rotate the tip of the twist inflation valve COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE to open it (FIGURE 6).
4. Using a small hand pump or a small bicycle pump,
pump air into the twist inflation valve until the cells of
the AirFlo insert are slightly arched (DETAIL B of
FIGURE 5).
5. Rotate the tip of the twist inflation valve CLOCKWISE
to close it so that air CANNOT escape from the
AirFlo insert (FIGURE 6).
6. Place the Infinity AirFlo (without the outer cover) on
top the seating surface.
NOTE: At this point, the Infinity AirFlo should be resting
on top of the seating surface.
7. Position the end-user on the Infinity AirFlo (without
the outer cover) in a normal seating position, making
sure the armrests, footrests and backrests are ad-
justed optimally.
8. Position a hand between the Infinity AirFlo (without
the outer cover) and the end-users buttocks and lo-
cate the lowest bony prominence of the end user
(DETAIL C of FIGURE 5).
9. There should be approximately 1/2 - inch between the
end-users lowest bony prominence and the foam base
of the Infinity AirFlo (DETAIL C of FIGURE 5). Per-
form one (1) of the following:
A. If 1/2 - inch is achieved, continue on to STEP 12
B. If 1/2 - inch is NOT achieved, continue on to STEP
10.
10. Rotate the tip of the twist inflation valve COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE to open it and allow air to release
until there is approximately 1/2 - inch between the end-
users lowest bony prominence and the foam base of
the Infinity AirFlo (FIGURE 6).
11. Rotate the tip of the twist inflation valve CLOCKWISE
to close it so that air CANNOT escape from the
cushion (FIGURE 6).
NOTE: To INCREASE the distance between the end-
users lowest bony prominence and the foam base of the
cushion, remove the end-user from the Infinity AirFlo and
repeat STEPS 3-10.
