ROHO Hybrid Elite Cushion Operation Manual
1. Place the cushion in the wheelchair with the air cells
facing up and the non-skid surface of the cover facing
down.
2. Slide the rubber nozzle of the
hand pump over the inflation
valve. Pinch the nozzle, open the
inflation valve, and inflate the
air cells.
3. When the air cells begin to arch
slightly, pinch the rubber nozzle
of the hand pump and close
the inflation valve completely.
Remove the hand pump.
4. The individual should sit in the chair in their usual
position. Confirm that the boniest prominences are
supported by the air cells.
5. Slide your hand between the air cells and the
individual. Lift the leg slightly and feel for the lowest
bony prominence, and then lower the leg to a sitting
position.
6. Open the valve to remove air, keeping your hand
beneath the individual’s lowest bony prominence.
Release air until you are barely able to move your
fingertips. Close the valve.

product benefits will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in an increased risk to
skin and other soft tissue. If the cushion does not appear to be holding air, or if
you are not able to inflate or deflate the cushion, see
