3.6 Clothing / Cushions

able and interchangeable. Alternative cushions and upholstery come, for example, with inconti-
nence protected upholstery.
- Check cushions according to the maintenance directions. Worn out cushions can cause pressure ulcers.

POSITIONING OF BACK CUSHION:
- Attach the straps (1) in the upper part of the back cushion around the
flexi-back’s tubes (2) with Velcro as shown in Diagram 12. If a hard back
is used, attach the Velcro to the back of this.
- Fold the cushion straight forward and press firmly against the back
plate according to Diagram 13.

REMOVAL OF BACK CUSHION:
