G. Protecting Your Cushion
Avoid prolonged exposure to adverse environmental conditions. This may include excessive
exposure to sunlight and temperatures, either hot or cold. This can result in the degradation of
the performance of your cushions.
WARNING: Failure to protect your cushion may lead to changes that can affect your
skin integrity, resulting in serious injury or death.
Although your cushion has been manufactured in accordance with its labeled flammability
standards, you should avoid exposing your cushion to open flames or extreme heat sources
such as a burning cigarette. This may cause your cushion to ignite or emit harmful gases.
Failure to protect your cushion from extreme heat may cause your cushion to ignite or
emit harmful gases, resulting in serious injury or death.
H. Obstructions
To ensure your cushion works effectively, avoid placing obstructions between your bottom and
your cushion. Obstructions may include, but are not limited to:
•
Keys or other items in pockets
•
Lift slings
•
Underpads or Chucks
Obstructions will lessen the effectiveness of the product, potentially causing pressure or high
pressure points.
WARNING: Pressure points can affect your skin integrity, resulting in serious injury or
death.
I. Cover Orientation
Your cushion was designed to be sat on in a specific orientation and it must be placed
properly in your wheelchair with the cover oriented correctly with the foam base. It is labeled
to indicate the proper orientation.

WARNING: Failure to properly orient the cushion and cover can affect your skin
integrity, resulting in serious injury or death.
