ENGLISH
ADJUSTMENT
1. Open the air valve by twisting it anticlockwise. If your cushion comes
with two valves, open both valves using the same technique. (Fig. 7)
2. Attach the rubber hose on the ROHO Pump to the end of the valve.
Inflate the cushion insert with the pump until just before the cushion
begins to arch. (Fig. 8)
3. Remove the pump hose from the valve and close it by twisting it
clockwise. (Fig. 9)
4. Sit on the Balance Cushion, with the DRY FLOATATION® insert
installed, in your normal sitting position with armrests and footrests
properly positioned.
5. Slide your hand beneath your buttocks to locate your lowest bony
prominence, usually the ischial tuberosites. If necessary, your
clinician or caregiver should assist you. (Fig.10)
6. Leaving one hand in place beneath the lowest bony prominence, use
the other hand to open the valve. As air is released from the cushion
insert, you will begin to sink into it. When your fingertips touch its
base, close the valve. Approximately 1/2" (13.0 mm) of air should be
between your lowest bony prominence and the base of the cushion.
(Fig. 11)
IMPORTANT ADJUSTMENT NOTES
• Your Balance Cushion with DRY FLOATATION® insert may have
been ordered with two valves, one on each side of the cushion. If
you have two valves, steps 1-6 above should be repeated for each
valve. Two valves indicate that your cushion insert is divided in the
middle. You, your clinician or caregiver should locate the lowest bony
prominence on the same side as the air valve used to adjust the
cushion.
• You, your clinicians or caregivers should check the cushion insert
daily to ensure that you have not bottomed out (ie. lost air and are
now sitting on the base of the cushion). If you have bottomed out,
the protective value of the cushion insert is lost. You should also
check to be sure the cushion insert is not over-filled with air. The
cushion insert will work best with approximately 1/2" (13.0 mm) of air
between you and its base.
• The DRY FLOATATION® insert may be affected by changes in
altitude. You may have to repeat steps 1- 6 above as you change
altitudes.
