ACCESSORIES WARNING
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Invacare

INSTALLATION WARNING
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure that all attaching component
parts are secure.
Ensure the seat cushion is properly secured to the wheelchair before using. Otherwise injury or
damage may occur.
Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the center of gravity of the wheelchair and may
cause the wheelchair to become unstable, potentially resulting in injury.
WARNING
Skin condition should be checked very frequently after the installation of any new seating system.
Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have any questions regarding individual
limitations and needs.
Working with your therapist, physician, and equipment supplier is the best way to assure that a
seating choice matches your individual needs.
As the needs of the individual become more complex, the seating evaluation becomes more
important.
The cushion is designed to be used only at room temperature. If it is left at lower temperatures,
always allow it to warm to room temperature before using. Sitting on extremely cold or hot
surfaces can cause skin damage.
Avoid sharp objects or exposure to excessive heat or open flame.
