When covered, the cushion should lie flat on the chair (non-skid material on the
bottom).
1. Unfold the cover.
2. Insert the cushion.
• Standard Cover: The corners of the cushion should be visible through the
corner openings of the cover. Pull the inflation valve through the corner
opening.
• Heavy Duty Cover: The inflation valve should point toward the zipper.
3. Close the zipper.
Note:
A cover is not required. However, a cover is included with every MOSAIC to
help with slide board transfers and to prevent the cushion cells from
protruding beyond the wheelchair seat. The non-skid bottom of the cover helps
keep the cushion more secure in the chair.
Inspect the cover for damage and replace if necessary.
Cover Placement
Not Holding Air:
Inflate the cushion. Confirm that the inflation valve is completely closed (
turn
clockwise
). Look for holes. If large holes or leaks are found, see the
LIMITED
WARRANTY.
If very small holes or no holes are visible, follow the instructions in the
Repair Kit provided with your product.
Uncomfortable/Unstable:
Confirm that:
• the cushion is not over-inflated (See ADJUSTMENT.)
• the cells and the top of the cover are facing up.
• the cushion is centered beneath the individual.
• the cushion is properly sized to the individual and the wheelchair.
Allow the individual to sit on the cushion for at least one hour so that they may
adjust to the texture of the product surface and immersion into the air cells.
Cushion Slides On Wheelchair:
Make sure that the non-skid bottom of the cover is
facing down. Refer to the directional labels on the cushion and the cover.
Cushion is Stiff:
Allow the cushion to warm to room temperature. Open the corner
valve. Roll up the cushion and unroll it until the cushion is soft and pliable again.
