ROHO Air Insert Setup

Note: Read these warnings and follow the instructions on the next page if a ROHO Air Insert is included with the product.

Important Safety Information

WARNINGS:

-  The air insert MUST be correctly installed in the foam 

base.

-  DO NOT use an under-inflated or over-inflated air 

insert because 1) the product benefits will be reduced 

or eliminated, resulting in an increased risk to skin 

and other soft tissue, and 2) the individual may 

become unstable and vulnerable to falling. Carefully 

follow the instructions for inflation and hand check.

-  After setting up the air insert for the first time, check 

inflation frequently, at least once a day. Follow the 

hand check instructions in this manual.

-  DO NOT use the air insert on top of, or in conjunction 

with, any other products or materials, except as 

indicated in this manual. Using non-compatible 

products or materials, whether inside or outside the 

cover: 1) may reduce or eliminate the benefits of the 

air insert, increasing the risk to skin or to other soft 

tissue, and 2) may cause the individual to become 

unstable and vulnerable to falling.

-  DO NOT place obstructions between the individual 

and the air insert. The components and the cover 

MUST be compatible sizes and MUST be used as 

directed in this manual. Except for the compatible 

covers listed in "Product Specifications" in this 

manual, placement of any items between the 

individual and the air insert: 1) may reduce or 

eliminate the benefits of the product, increasing the 

risk to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2) may cause 

the individual to become unstable and vulnerable to 

falling.

WARNINGS, continued:

-  If the air insert does not appear to be holding air, 

or if you are not able to inflate or deflate the air 

insert, see “Troubleshooting”. Immediately contact 

the equipment provider or Customer Support if the 

problem persists.

-  DO NOT use the air insert as a water flotation device 

(e.g., a Life Preserver). It will NOT support you in 

water.

-  The air insert surfaces will acclimate to the 

surrounding temperature. Take appropriate 

precautions, especially when the air cells will contact 

unprotected skin. 

CAUTIONS:

-  Periodically, check the air insert for damage and wear, 

and replace if necessary. 

-  DO NOT use a pump, cover or repair kit other than 

those compatible with the product.

-  DO NOT allow the air insert to come into contact with 

oil-based lotions or lanolin. They may degrade the 

material.

-  Prolonged exposure to ozone may degrade materials 

used in the air insert, affect performance, and void the 

warranty

-  Changes in altitude may require adjustment to the air 

insert.

-  DO NOT expose the air insert to temperatures 

above 70°C (158°F), which may damage air insert 

components.

-  If the air insert has been in temperatures lower than 

32°F (0°C) and exhibits unusual stiffness, allow to 

warm to room temperature.
