INSTALLATION / ADJUSTMENT
FITTING A PRESSURE DISTRIBUTING CUSHION
1. Select a cushion to match your hip width when in the
seated position.
2. The cushion length should extend to within 25 mm - 50
mm (1” - 2”) from the back of the knees.
3. Place the cushion to the back of the wheelchair with the
material identification tags and fluid pad(s) toward the
rear.
4. When fitted correctly, your hips should be to the back
of the chair and your ischials, (seat bones), should be
centered on the JAY Flow™ Fluid pad(s) in the seat
well of the cushion.
5. Proper footrest adjustment may enhance sitting comfort
and help lower peak sitting pressures.
6. Adjust the footrests so your legs rest firmly but
comfortably on the cushion.
CAUTION:
• Do not use the wheelchair’s seat width as a guide in
determining the appropriate cushion width.
• Improper cushion fit may be detrimental to the
performance of a pressure distributing cushion and its
support of the body.
• Avoid using the cushion on overly stretched seat
upholstery. Stretched upholstery does not provide
adequate support for the cushion and improper
positioning may result.
• Replace stretched upholstery or purchase the JAY
Adjustable Solid Seat or the JAY Solid Seat insert that
is appropriate for the cushion.
• Avoid using overly stretched back rest upholstery.
Stretched back upholstery does not provide adequate
support for the body and improper positioning may
result. Replace stretched back rest upholstery or
purchase a back support product from Sunrise that is
appropriate for you. Contact an authorised supplier for a
free demonstration of these products.
ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTING THE SOLID DROP
SEAT
Located on the bottom of the Solid Drop Seat (1) are 10
pairs of holes (3), five pairs each side of the platform.
Each hook has two slots that line up with one pair of
holes, (Fig.7.0 - 8.0)
1.
Locate where the hooks (2) should best be placed
on the platform (1) so that the installation doesn’t
interfere with hardware on the wheelchair seat frame.
2.
There are four hooks (2).
3. Each side requires installing two hooks.
4.
Align the slots in the hooks (2) with one pair of holes
(3).
5. Slide a washer onto a bolt and fasten the bolt through
the slot in the hook into the Solid Drop Seat.
6. Each hook requires two bolts.
7. Do the same for all four hooks.
8. Leave all hooks slightly loose.
9. Place the solid seat on the seat rail frame of the
wheelchair and adjust the width.
10. Tighten as many hook bolts as possible prior to
removing Solid Drop Seat from the wheelchair, (this
will preserve their alignment).
11. Remove the Solid Drop Seat from the wheelchair and
finish tightening the bolts to secure the hooks.
