INFORMATION
►
Place the seat cushion in the middle of the seat so that there is sufficient space on all sides
for the wheels and frame.
►
Optimum pressure redistribution is ensured when the leg support of the wheelchair is adjus
ted so that the thigh of the user completely rests on the seat cushion.
►
Regularly remove dust and dirt particles from the hook-and-loop strap at the bottom so that
the seat cushion remains firmly in place.
Correct positioning of the seat cushion in the wheelchair must be maintained for daily use:
•
The label that says "REAR" points towards the back support.
•
The flat side points downwards, the contoured side points upwards.
•
The hook-and-loop strap on the cover faces the wheelchair's seat bottom. It is used to attach
the seat cushion in the wheelchair.

7.3 Cleaning
NOTICE
Improper cleaning of the wheelchair seat cushion
Risk of damage to seat cushion due to user error
►
Do not machine wash the foam components.
►
Do not dry the seat cushion and its components in the tumble dryer.
►
Gently wipe the surface of the foam components with a soft, damp cloth or sponge; do not
rub. Do not use a brush or similar on the surface.
►
To prevent mould formation, the foam components must be completely dry before putting
them into the cover.
►
Do not wash the cover at a temperature higher than specified. The cover can shrink when
washed at higher temperatures. This could impede the seat cushion's ability to redistribute
pressure and damage the fabric.
►
Do not use any bleaching agents or fabric softeners for cleaning.
INFORMATION
►
In case of advanced wear and tear, have the components that are available as spare parts
replaced by qualified personnel.
►
To disinfect the cover, add a standard hygiene detergent during washing.
