Cushion Adjustment

Important Safety Information

• Check inflation frequently, at least once a day!
• DO NOT use an under-inflated cushion or an over-inflated cushion because the product
benefits will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in an increased risk to skin and other
soft tissue. If the cushion does not appear to be holding air, or if you are not able to
inflate or deflate the cushion, see T
caregiver, distributor, or ROHO, Inc. if the problem persists.
• When possible, use the hook or loop fasteners to further secure the cushion to the
seating surface.
• The cushion must be used with the provided cover.
1. Place the cushion in the wheelchair with
the air cells facing up and the non-skid
surface of the cover facing down. The
individual should not sit on the cushion.
2. Open the valve flap and slide the rubber
nozzle of the hand pump over the
inflation valve. Turn the nozzle to open
the inflation valve and inflate until all of
the air cells feel firm.
3. Remove the hand pump.
4. Do not close the inflation valve.
5. Allow air to escape from the inflation valve.
Listen (or place your hand in front of the
inflation valve) to confirm that air is no
longer coming out of the cushion. Close the
inflation valve.
6. The individual should sit in the chair in their usual
position. Confirm that the boniest prominences are
supported by the air cells.
7. Slide your hand between the air cells and the
individual. Lift the leg slightly and feel for the lowest
bony prominence, and then lower the leg to a sitting
position. You should barely be able to move your
fingertips.
8. The recommended distance between the individual and
the contoured foam base is 1/2"- 1" (1.5 cm-2.5 cm). If
the cushion has too much air or not enough air, open
the valve, adjust as needed, and then close the valve.
