next to the lateral Floam cells (see fig. 4).
4) Pull on the outer cover (see Page 20).
5) Position the seat cushion in the wheelchair (see Page 19).
6) Lower the user down carefully on to the seat cushion and carry out a trial seat fitting.

INFORMATION
► Place the seat cushion in the middle of the seat so that there is sufficient space on all sides
for the wheels and frame.
► Optimum pressure redistribution is ensured when the leg support of the wheelchair is adjus­
ted so that the thigh of the user completely rests on the seat cushion.
► Regularly remove dust and dirt particles from the hook-and-loop strap at the bottom so that
the seat cushion remains firmly in place.
Correct positioning of the seat cushion in the wheelchair must be maintained for daily use:
