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 "Troubleshooting".
If the air insert is still not holding air, replace the air insert with the foam
insert, and contact an equipment provider or Customer Support.
- Changes in altitude may require adjustment to an air insert. Check the
inflation level of any air inserts when changing altitude.
To Adjust the Air Inserts
Notes: Before you adjust the air inserts, make sure the cover with the foam pad and air inserts is
correctly installed on the back shell. Make sure that the AGILITY is correctly installed and adjusted
on the wheelchair.
Follow these instructions to adjust the air insert and the two wing air inserts.
1. Slide the hand pump nozzle over the inflation valve. Open the inflation valve, at least one full
rotation. Inflate the air insert until it feels firm.
Note: The inflation valve will spin freely when open.
2. Close the inflation valve until it comes to a stop. Remove the hand pump. Make sure the
inflation valve is closed.
Warning: Safely transfer the individual into the wheelchair.
3. Adjust the air insert, if desired:
a. The individual may be seated in the wheelchair in their normal position.
b. Open the inflation valve and remove air until the individual is comfortable. Close the inflation
valve. Make sure the inflation valve is closed. Follow the valve hose placement instructions.
