8. If the wheelchair seating surface has neither hook or

loop attachment strips, remove the double sided hook

from the bottom of the cover.

USE OF THE SINGLE DENSITY
CUSHION

If the user finds the cushion uncomfortable or finds it dif-

ficult to maintain a stable position, the following checks

should be made:
1. If the user weighs more than 252 lbs. (114 kg), verify

that he or she is not compressing the foam such that

it is not providing support and pressure relief.

2. Verify that the cushion is oriented properly. The back

of the molded foam is marked with the word,

"BACK"

.

When the cover is properly installed, the zipper will be

at the back.

3. If the cushion is old, it may not be capable of providing

support and should be replaced.

CLEANING

CAUTION

The cover is designed to protect the foam
against a user’s incontinence and to pro-
vide fire retardency so the cushion must
not be used without its cover. If the cover
is torn, it must be replaced.

Cover

CAUTION

Machine wash cold. Gentle cycle.  Mild
detergent.  NO fabric softeners or bleach.
Tumble dry low or air dry.

Cushion

CAUTION

Wipe down surfaces with a slightly damp-
ened cloth. DO NOT submerge cushion in
water. If cushion foam becomes contami-
nated because of incontinence, it should
be replaced beause the foam is absorbent
and cannot be cleaned.
