8) Keep your hand under the user's ischial tuberosity and rotate the valve anti-clockwise to
slowly let out air (see fig. 9).
9) Allow the ROHO insert to sink until your fingertips can only move up and down over a dis­
tance of 20 – 25 mm (see fig. 14).
10) Close the valve by turning it clockwise (see fig. 12).
11) Wiggle your fingers to ensure the correct clearance. If there is less than 20 mm clearance
between the user and the wheelchair seat, air must be added and the process repeated.
INFORMATION: A hand check should be performed daily for all dry air flotation cush­
ions. The seat cushion needs to be readjusted only when there is a change in clear­
ance during a hand check, or after a puncture in the air insert has been repaired.
12) Slide the valve into the cover and close the zip.
6 Use

Correct positioning of the seat cushion in the wheelchair must be maintained for daily use:

6.3 Cleaning
NOTICE
Improper cleaning of the wheelchair cushion
Risk of damage to cushion due to user error
► Never wash the cover at a temperature higher than the recommended as this may cause it to
shrink. This could impede the cushion's ability to redistribute pressure or it could damage
the fabric.
► Do not use any bleaching agents for cleaning.
Never dry the foam components or inserts in a dryer.
►
INFORMATION
► Replace the cover when it shows signs of advanced wear.
