Cushion Installation - Ki Mobility Ethos Manual De Instrucciones

V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
P. Cushion Installation
a. The Ethos was designed to be used with a proper wheelchair cushion.
WARNING: Avoid sitting for long periods of time without a proper wheelchair cushion. Sitting for
long periods of time without a proper wheelchair cushion could cause pressure ulcers which
could lead to serious infections or even death.
WARNING: Secure cushion before use or transfer. Failure to secure a cushion can cause it to
slide out during use or transfers, resulting in a fall or loss of control. A fall or loss of control could
result in damage to your chair or in serious injury or death to you or others.
b. The standard sling upholstery is provided with loop Velcro type fastener strips. The cushion
being used should have hook Velcro type fasteners that can engage the loop of the seat sling
to keep the cushion from sliding out from under you. Ensure the cushion is securely attached
before transferring or sitting in the wheelchair.
c. A standard seat sling may not have been provided with your chair. Check with your wheelchair
provider if an aftermarket replacement to the original equipment sling has been provided. If so,
make sure you follow the instructions for use provided by the aftermarket manufacturer.
