cannot be removed.
• Insert cushion in cover.
• Pass loop through eyelet in cover.
• Close zipper. Make sure to not damage the
cushion.
• Remove protective backing tape from
selfadhesive hook strips attached to the
cushion cover.
• Place cushion by pressing firmly.
• If you're using the Kwik Strap Cover: now
loop the strap at the rear of the cover around
the vertical canes to securely attach the
cushion to the wheelchair.
• Sit on the cushion for a few minutes, to allow
the cushion to adapt to your body shape.
• If necessary, adjust footsupports.
Checking for “bottoming out”:
Warning!
Your tailbone and pelvic bones should
not touch the bottom of the cushion. Checking
for “bottoming out” should be done during first
use and after adjustments to the cushion filling.
Warning! Vicair B.V. recommends to adjust the
filling grade under the direct supervision of your
therapist or Assistive Technology Professional.
• Check for bottoming out, after sitting on the
cushion for approximately 5 minutes.
• Let your therapist or Assistive Technology
Professional slide a hand between your
buttocks and the Vicair cushion while leaning
forward.
• Ask your therapist or Assistive Technology
Professional to check if your lowest bony
prominences are supported by at least 2,5
cm / 1” of SmartCells™. This prevents them
from touching the wheelchair seat.
• Do not use the cushion if bottoming out
occurs. In most cases, adjusting the filling
grade of the compartments will solve the
problem.
USE

Warning!
Check your skin regularly for redness,
especially during the first few days. If redness
occurs and does not disappear after 15 minutes,
consult your therapist or Assistive Technology
Professional.
Adjusting the filling grade
Warning!

Notice!
Vicair B.V. recommends not to use
the cushion above 2400 m (8000 ft) above
sea level or below 50 m (164 ft) below sea

used at high altitude or in an airplane.
Under such circumstances, the cushion’s
firmness can be adjusted by removing a few
cells from each compartment.
