Image i (I, II & III) shows how to (re)assemble
the cushion (chapter 'Maintenance and
cleaning'):
• Check cushion size. Width (X) and depth (Y)
of the cushion and seat should match.
• Remove protective backing tape from self-
adhesive Velcro strips attached to the bottom
of the cushion.
• Place cushion by pressing firmly. Make sure
the foam inlay is at the front of the
wheelchair seat.
• Sit on the cushion for a few minutes, to allow
the cushion to adapt to your body shape.
• Sit on the cushion for a few minutes, to allow
the cushion to adapt to your body shape.
Make sure that your tailbone and pelvic
bones are resting on the rear compartments
with SmartCell liners, not on the foam inlay.
• If necessary, adjust footrest(s).
Checking for "bottoming out":
Image 6 - Quick Installation Guide
Warning! Your tailbone and pelvic bones should
not touch the bottom of the cushion. Checking
for "bottoming out" should be done during first
use and after adjustments to the cushion filling.
Warning! Make sure that your tailbone and
pelvic bones are resting on the rear
compartments with SmartCell liners, not on the
foam inlay.
Warning! Vicair B.V. recommends to adjust the
filling grade under the direct supervision of your
therapist or technical advisor.
• Check for bottoming out, after sitting on the
cushion for approximately 5 minutes.
• Let your therapist or technical advisor slide a
hand between your buttocks and the Vicair
cushion while leaning forward.
• Ask your therapist or technical advisor to
check if your lowest bony prominences are
supported by at least 2,5 cm / 1" of
SmartCells™. This prevents your seat bones
from touching the wheelchair seat.
• Do not use the cushion if bottoming out
occurs. In most cases, adjusting the filling
grade of the SmartCell liners will solve the
problem.
