CAUTION
MACHINE WASH seat cover in cold water on gentle
cycle using a mild detergent. DO NOT use fabric
softeners or bleach. DO NOT machine dry. Air dry
ONLY. DO NOT dry in sun.
4. To clean the water repellant foam coating, use a soft
cloth and wipe clean with warm water and a mild soap
solution. Rinse off and dry.
CAUTION
The cover is designed to protect the foam
against a user’s incontinence and to pro-
vide fire retardency so the cushion must
not be used without its cover. If the cover
is torn, it must be replaced.
8. If the wheelchair seating surface has neither hook or
loop attachment strips, remove the double sided hook
from the bottom of the cover.
9. Align the front edge of the cushion with the front edge
of the seating surface.
10. Place the cushion on the wheelchair seating surface.
WARNING
Make sure the hook and loop fasteners
are securely attached to the seating sur-
face and the cushion before using. If the
cushion is not secured to the wheelchair
seating surface, exercise caution when
transferring in and out of the wheelchair.
USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE
PERSONAL SEAT VF
Installation of the Cover
The cover is properly installed when the zipper is at the
back of the cushion. The back of the cushion is where the
insert is located. In addition, the back surface of the cush-
ion is marked, “BACK”.
Maintaining the Cover
The Personal Seat VF cover is fabricated with water re-
pellant materials. The top and sides are fabricated with a
patented waterproof stretch fabric. The bottom is fabri-
cated from a special waterproof heavyweight fabric. In the
event of incontinence, some leakage may occur at the
seam stitching or at the zipper, so the water repellant coat-
ing should be cleaned. The cover should be machine
washed in cold water and let hang dry. Refer to INSPEC-
TION AND CLEANING in this instruction sheet.
