CLEANING AND DISINFECTING YOUR
J3 AIR INSERT
Cleaning and disinfecting are two separate processes. Cleaning
must precede disinfection.
CLEANING THE AIR INSERT
To clean the Air Insert, gently pull it out of the recess in the
foam base, taking care to gently pull the valve through the
foam. Deflate the cushion, close the valve(s) and place in a
large sink. Gently scrub the air cells and the spaces between
them with a soft plastic bristle brush, sponge or washcloth.
Liquid dish-washing or laundry detergent or other general-
purpose cleaning product is suggested. For institutional
cleaning, a general house-keeping disinfectant cleaner may be
used.
DISINFECTING THE AIR INSERT
To disinfect the Air Insert, use a germicidal product that meets
infection control needs. A disinfectant with tubercu-locidal
properties is recommended. Follow the manufacturer's dilution
directions. For home disinfection, use solutions of
approximately 1/2 cup liquid household bleach per quart of
water (125 ml bleach to 1 liter of water). Keep the clean
cushion wet with bleach solution for 10 minutes. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
WARNING
Disinfectants are not effective on porous surfaces, such
as foam, if the cushion becomes soiled or contaminated.
DO NOT use with multiple users.
CAUTION–
DO NOT USE OIL-BASED LOTIONS OR LANOLIN ON YOUR
CUSHION AS THEY MAY COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF
THE NEOPRENE RUBBER.

REPAIRS
Each J3 Cushion with an Air Insert is shipped complete with a
repair kit and instructions for minor repairs. The following
information can be used if repair instructions have been lost or
misplaced.
If A Leak Occurs
1. Place your cushion cells down and over-inflate until all
four corners touch.
2.
Immerse the over-inflated cushion in water to locate the
leak.
3.
Once the leak has been located, mark the leak by
inserting a toothpick into the hole
4.
Allow the cushion to dry thoroughly.
5. Remove the toothpick, and clean the area around the
hole with the alcohol wipe provided. Let the surface dry.
6.
Peel the backing from the patch provided and, centering
the patch, place it over the hole.
7. Press the patch down firmly until a good seal is achieved.
8. The cushion is now ready for use. Adjust the cushion for
proper inflation following the instructions in this manual.
Although patches do not change the performance of the cushion,
they should be monitored periodically to ensure effectiveness in
addressing the leak. If the patch is not successful in addressing
the problem, or if more extensive damage is present, please
contact your supplier immediately.
Replacing Valves
1. Firmly grip the rubber valve stem and remove the old inflation
valve by using pliers.
CAUTION–
DO NOT REMOVE AN INFLATION VALVE BY HOLDING THE
CUSHION AND PULLING THE VALVE, DOING SO MAY TEAR
THE CUSHION.
2. Moisten the ribbed end of the replacement valve and insert it
into the valve stem until the rubber is snug to the body
of the valve.
