Warning!
Make sure that your tailbone and
pelvic bones are resting on the rear
compartments with SmartCell liners, not on the
foam inlay.
Caution!
Make sure the cushion cannot
interfere with the wheel spokes.
Caution!
Do not use the foam inlay without the
foam inlay liner.
Notice!
Make sure that the wheelchair seat is
clean and degreased.

removed.
Perform the following steps when installing
the Vicair Active O2
These steps correspond to the installation
images 1-5 on the Quick Installation Guide.
Image i (I, II & III) shows how to (re)assemble
the cushion (chapter ‘Maintenance and
cleaning’):
• Check cushion size. Width (X) and depth (Y)
of the cushion and seat should match.
• Remove protective backing tape from self-
adhesive hook strips attached to the bottom
of the cushion.
• Place cushion by pressing firmly. Make sure
the foam inlay is at the front of the
wheelchair seat.
• Sit on the cushion for a few minutes, to
allow the cushion to adapt to your body
shape. Make sure that your tailbone and
pelvic bones are resting on the rear
compartments with SmartCell liners, not on
the foam inlay.
• If necessary, adjust foot supports.
Checking for “bottoming out”:
Image 6 - Quick Installation Guide
Warning!
Your tailbone and pelvic bones should
not touch the bottom of the cushion. Checking
for “bottoming out” should be done during first
use and after adjustments to the cushion filling.
Warning!
Make sure that your tailbone and
pelvic bones are resting on the rear
compartments with SmartCell liners, not on the
foam inlay.
Warning!
Vicair B.V. recommends to adjust the
filling grade under the direct supervision of
your therapist or Assistive Technology
Professional.
• Check for bottoming out, after sitting on the
cushion for approximately 5 minutes.
• Let your therapist or Assistive Technology
Professional slide a hand between your
buttocks and the Vicair cushion while
leaning forward.
• Ask your therapist or Assistive Technology
Professional to check if your lowest bony
prominences are supported by at least 2,5
cm / 1” of SmartCells. This prevents them
from touching the wheelchair seat.
• Do not use the cushion if bottoming out
occurs. In most cases, adjusting the filling
grade of the SmartCell liners will solve the
problem.
