Cover Components - Air Insert Adjustment
Warnings:
- Check inflation frequently, at least once a day!
- The air insert must be used with the air cells facing the individual.
- The individual's comfort level may be reduced if an air insert is not positioned correctly, is not properly sized to the foam pad, or is
under-inflated or over-inflated.
- If an air insert does not appear to be holding air, see T
the air insert is still not holding air, replace the air insert with the foam
insert and contact ROHO, Inc. or your equipment provider.
- Changes in altitude may require adjustment to an air insert. Check the
inflation level of any air inserts when changing altitude.
Cautions:
- If an air insert has been in temperatures less than 32°F / 0°C and exhibits
unusual stiffness, allow the air insert to warm to room temperature, then
open the inflation valve. Roll up the air insert and then unroll it until the
polyurethane is soft and pliable again. Repeat adjustment instructions
before using.
- Keep air cells away from sharp objects.
