E. Cushion Use
WARNING: Avoid sitting for long periods of time without a proper wheelchair cushion.
Sitting for long periods of time without a proper wheelchair cushion could cause pressure
ulcers which could lead to serious infections or even death.
•
Secure the cushion before use or transfer. Failure to secure a cushion can cause it
to slide out during use or transfers, resulting in a fall or loss of control. A fall or loss
of control could result in damage to your chair or in serious injury or death to you or
others.
a. This wheelchair was designed to be used with a proper wheelchair cushion.
b. The standard sling upholstery is provided with hook and loop self fastening strips. The
cushion being used should have hook type fasteners that can engage the loop of the seat
sling to keep the cushion from sliding out from under you. Ensure the cushion is securely
attached before transferring or sitting in the wheelchair.
c. A standard seat sling may not have been provided with your chair. Check with your wheel
-
chair provider if an aftermarket replacement to the original equipment sling has been pro
-
vided. If so, make sure you follow the instructions for use provided by the aftermarket
manufacturer.
