Cleaning the Java Cushion base
• Submerge and swish the Java cushion base in a sink or tub of warm (40°C/104°F)
soapy water (using a mild detergent) or a diluted bleach solution (~¼ cup bleach per
gallon of water). As an alternative, pour cleaning solution prescribed above into a
sturdy plastic bag large enough to hold your cushion base. Put your cushion base in
the bag and gently shake and roll the bag to ensure that the cleaning solution covers
all surfaces of the cushion base. Ensure the cushion base remains fully saturated for a
minimum of five minutes. Remove the cushion base from the bag.
• Rinse the cushion base thoroughly with clean water using a hand held shower or
sink sprayer.
• Gently shake or tap excess water from your cushion base. Stand or lean base
structure against a wall on an absorbent material such as a terry cloth towel and allow
moisture to drain from cushion to dry, preferably overnight. To accelerate the drying
process you may place your cushion base in front of a fan.
Cleaning the CAM Wedges, lateral wedges and well inserts
Follow cleaning instructions for the Ride Java Cushion base.
Assembling the Ride Java Cushion after cleaning
• Once all components are dry, install top foam layer back onto the cushion base.
If applicable, ensure that the Ride CAM and medial/lateral thigh supports are re-
installed in their original locations.
• Insert the assembled cushion into the outer cover by placing the front edge of the
cushion into the cover towards the carrying handle, then stretch the rear corners of the
cover over the rear corners of the Java Cushion. Flip the cushion and cover assembly
over and press down firmly on front edges of the cushion to get zipper started, then
zip both zipper ends together to completely close.
• Place the cushion on your wheelchair and ensure that the back corners of the Java
Cushion contact the back canes.
