Cushion Installation; Upholstery Fabric - Ki Mobility Rogue ALX Manual De Instrucciones Y Garantía

V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
U. Cushion Installation
a. The Rogue ALX was designed to be used with a proper wheelchair cushion.
DANGER: Sitting for long periods of time without a proper wheelchair cushion can cause
pressure ulcers which can be serious in nature and result in death.
b. The standard sling upholstery is provided with loop Velcro type fastener strips. The
cushion being used should have hook Velcro type fasteners that can engage the loop of
the seat sling to keep the cushion from sliding out from under you. Ensure the cushion is
securely attached before transferring or sitting in the wheelchair.
c. A standard seat sling may not have been provided with your chair. Check with your
wheelchair provider if an aftermarket replacement to the original equipment sling has been
provided. If so, ensure you follow the instructions for use provided by the aftermarket
manufacturer.
WARNING: Failure to properly secure a cushion can cause it to slide out during use or transfers
and could result in a fall or loss of control and cause severe injury or death.
V. Upholstery Fabric
1. You must immediately replace seat and back upholstery that has worn through and shows
signs of failing. If you fail to do so, the seat or back may fail.
2. The seat sling material will weaken over time. Look for fraying, thin spots, or stretching of
fabrics especially at edges and seams. This should be done weekly.
3. The repeated action of transferring to your wheelchair will weaken sling material and result in
the need to inspect and replace the seat more often.
4. Be aware that laundering or excess moisture will reduce flame retardation of the fabric.
5. Contact your wheelchair provider if you have concerns about your seat or back, or feel it
needs to be replaced.
WARNING: Failure to comply with these instructions may result in damage to your wheelchair, a
fall or loss of control causing severe injury to the user or others.
