CAUTION: Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the center of gravi-
ty of the wheelchair and may cause the wheelchair to tip backwards,
potentially resulting in injury. Always assess for the potential need for
antitippers or amputee axle adapter brackets to be added to the
wheelchair to help increase stability.
All Jay cushions are designed to help reduce the incidence of pressure sores.
However, no cushion can completely eliminate sitting pressure or prevent
pressure sores. Jay cushions are not a substitute for good skin care including;
proper diet, cleanliness, and regular pressure reliefs. In addition, prior to pro-
longed sitting, any cushion should be tried for a few hours at a time while a cli-
nician inspects your skin to ensure that red pressure spots are not developing.
You should regularly check for skin redness.The clinical indicator for tissue
break down is skin redness. If your skin develops redness, discontinue the use
of the cushion immediately and see your doctor or therapist.
Avoid sharp objects or exposure to excessive heat or open flame.
JAY LITE CUSHION BY JAY
The Jay Lite is designed with the benefits of skin protection in a lightweight,
comfortable and low-maintenance design.The Jay Lite incorporates a reticu-
lated foam pad, an Olilex foam base, with a microclimatic outer cover.
The Jay Lite helps to provide pressure and shear reduction which may help
reduce the incidence of decubitus ulcers. It is comfortable and doesn't
restrict movement, allowing the user to change positions on the cushion.
The maximum user weight for this product is 250 lbs (113 kg).

FITTING A PRESSURE DISTRIBUTING CUSHION
Select a cushion to match your hip width when in the seated position.The
cushion length should extend to within 1" - 2" (2.5cm - 5cm) from the back
of the knees. Place the cushion to the back of the wheelchair with the
material identification tags and pelvic loading area toward the rear. When fit
correctly, your hips should be to the back of the chair. Your ischials (seat
bones) should be centered in the pelvic loading area of the cushion. Proper
footrest adjustment may enhance sitting comfort and help lower peak sit-
ting pressures. Adjust the footrests so your legs rest firmly but comfortably
on the cushion.
NOTE: Do not use the wheelchair's seat width as a guide in determining the
appropriate cushion width. Improper cushion fit may be detrimental to the
performance of a pressure distributing cushion and its support of the body.
Avoid using the cushion on overly stretched seat upholstery. Stretched
upholstery does not provide adequate support for the cushion and improp-
er positioning may result. Replace stretched upholstery or purchase the Jay
Adjustable Solid Seat.
Avoid using overly stretched backrest upholstery. Stretched back upholstery
does not provide adequate support for the body and improper positioning
may result. Replace stretched backrest upholstery or purchase a back sup-
port product from Sunrise that is appropriate for you. Contact an author-
ized supplier for a free demonstration of these products.

EASY MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Monthly cleaning and regular maintenance may help extend the life of your
cushion. During cleaning, component inspection is recommended.
Check the cover for tears and excessive wear and or any other abnormalities.
Check the foam base to ensure foam consistency. Check the pelvic loading
area to ensure reticulated foam consistency.
To clean cover
1. Remove the cover from the foam base and turn inside out.
2. Machine wash in warm water and drip or tumble dry on low heat.
No ironing required.
NOTE: Do not dry clean covers or use industrial washers and dryers to clean
cover. Do not steam autoclave. Do not bleach.
To refit cover after washing, fit cover back over foam base. Ensure the back
of the cover matches up to the back of the foam base.
NOTE: If utilized in an institutional setting, write the resident's name with a
permanent marker on the content label of the covers. This will help to
ensure the return of the covers after washing.
To clean foam base
Remove the cover from the foam base. Wipe lightly with a damp cloth. Do
not use soap. Do not submerge in water. Wipe off with a clean cloth. Let it
completely air-dry before reassembly.
NOTE: Avoid submersion of the foam base in water.
Reinstall the cover with the reticulated foam pad over foam base. Ensure
the back of the cover matches up to the back of the foam base.
REASSEMBLING THE JAY LITE CUSHION AFTER
CLEANING

nance and Cleaning" then reassemble as follows.
Insert the foam base into the outer cover. Ensure that the zipper is at the
rear of the foam base (the part number tag should be to the rear of the
foam base) where the pelvic loading area is located.
