Important Safety Information, continued
WARNINGS, continued:
- DO NOT use the cushion or any components as a
water flotation device (e.g. a Life Preserver). It will
NOT support you in water.
- DO NOT modify the cushion or components. Doing so
will void the warranty and may lead to personal injury
or alter the effectiveness of the cushion by increasing
the risk factors for skin breakdown and/or instability.
- Periodically, check the cover and components for
damage and wear, and replace if necessary. See
"Troubleshooting."
- DO NOT expose the product to high heat, open
flames, or hot ashes. Testing or certification claims,
including for flammability, may no longer apply to this
device when it is combined with other products or
materials. Check testing and certification claims for all
products used in combination with this device.
- The cushion surface will acclimate to the
surrounding temperature. Take appropriate
precautions, especially when the cushion will
contact unprotected skin.
- Keep small components out of the reach of children
and any individuals who have a tendency to place
inedible objects in their mouths. Swallowing or
inhalation may lead to serious injury or
death. IMMEDIATELY seek emergency
medical assistance.
WARNINGS - MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION:
- Failure to pay attention to these warnings could result
in severe injury to the individual in the wheelchair or to
others.
- The Inception has not been tested for use in a motor
vehicle.
- Transfer out of the wheelchair installed with the
Inception and into a manufacturer-installed vehicle
seat, and use the vehicle’s crash-tested occupant
restraint system.
- If the Inception has been involved in an accident
during transport, see the “Maintenance” section in this
manual.
CAUTIONS:
- Keep the product away from sharp objects.
- DO NOT use the air insert inflation valve as a
handle for carrying or pulling the cushion. Carry
the cushion by the cushion base or by the carrying
handle on the cover. Use of any other components
to carry or pull the cushion may damage the
product.
