Please keep these instructions in a safe location for future reference

WARNINGS (Risk of possible injury or other serious adverse reactions)

Do not operate the Airflo 12 compressor in the presence of flammable anaesthetic mixtures with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide, as these mixtures can create a combustible environment leading to the potential for fire or even an explosion in the presence of a spark.
Do not use the Raiser Lifting Cushion if under the influence of alcohol or if taking medication which may affect your ability to exercise judgment, coordination or motor control.
NEVER use the Raiser Lifting Cushion as a step, stand or as a device for lifting items.
The Raiser Lifting Cushion should only be used for its stated purpose and should not be modified in any way.
Ensure that when in use, the Airflo 12 compressor, the hand control lead and air hose are laid out in such a way as to avoid any risk of tripping or strangulation.
Do not allow children to play with the Raiser Lifting Cushion or Airflo 12 as operation of the equipment in an uncontrolled or unsupervised situation may lead to personal injury and/or damage.
To avoid personal injury during use and/or damage to the equipment, keep animals away from the Raiser Lifting Cushion and Airflo compressor.
Regularly check that there are no obvious signs of damage. If in doubt, do not use and seek advice from your supplier.
If the Raiser Lifting Cushion is to be used in a chair which does not have armrests, the user MUST assess their ability to maintain stability whilst the cushion is being raised and lowered.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, NEVER recharge the Airflo battery in the bathroom, outdoors or in a damp environment.
Do not use any other air supply to inflate the Raiser Lifting Cushion.
Ensure that the Raiser Lifting Cushion is protected from sharp objects.

CAUTIONS (Risk of possible problems including device malfunctions, device failure, damage to the device or damage to other property)

Only recharge the battery with the Mangar battery charger supplied with the Airflo 12 compressor.
Never use hot air to dry the Raiser Lifting Cushion following cleaning as this may affect the integrity of the welded seams and fabric and lead to premature failure of the cushion.
Disconnect the Airflo 12 compressor from the Raiser Lifting Cushion before transporting so as to avoid accidental inflation of the cushion.

Intended Use

The Raiser Lifting Cushion is intended solely for use as a lifting aid to assist a person to raise themselves from and lower themselves into an armchair. Users should have sufficient upper body strength to be able to hold the armrests for added support if required. WARNING: If The Raiser Lifting Cushion is to be used in a chair which does not have armrests, the user MUST assess their ability to maintain stability whilst the cushion is being raised and lowered. The Raiser Lifting Cushion is not intended for any other use and should never be used as a step or for lifting items. When properly maintained, the Raiser Lifting Cushion will give many years of trouble free service.

Construction

The Raiser Lifting Cushion is constructed from a very strong polyurethane coated nylon material which has been precision cut into panels and then joined together by high frequency welding. This produces a very strong light weight and air tight construction. The Raiser Lifting Cushion incorporates a quick exhaust valve which allows the cushion to fully deflate without the need to keep pressing the down button on the hand control.

The Raiser Lifting Cushion is powered by the Mangar Airflo 12 battery powered compressor.

PLEASE READ the separate Airflo 12 compressor instructions before using your Raiser Lifting Cushion.

Operating – (Figs. 2 & 3)

WARNING: If The Raiser Lifting Cushion is to be used in a chair which does not have armrests, the user MUST assess their ability to maintain stability whilst the cushion is being raised and lowered.

Keep your feet firmly on the floor, slightly apart and as close to the front of the armchair as possible.
With your hands on the armrests to steady yourself, lean forward and transfer your weight to the front of the seat.
To rise, press and hold the ‘Up’ button on the hand control. Release the button to stop at any height.
To lower, press ‘Down’ on the hand control. To stop lowering at any point, momentarily press the ‘Up’ button.
After leaving the seat, press and hold the ‘Down’ button until the initial release of air has occurred. The Raiser Lifting Cushion will carry on deflating after the ‘Down’ button is released, ready for when the cushion is next used.

Cleaning

Routine cleaning

Fully inflate the Raiser Lifting Cushion for cleaning.
All components can be cleaned with a proprietary non-abrasive mild liquid cleaner or disinfectant. Always follow packaging instructions for using mild detergent products. NOTE: Before using proprietary cleaners, always test on an inconspicuous area.
Use a soft cloth when cleaning.
Do not wash the product in boiling water.

IMPORTANT: Following cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap deposits. Wipe dry or leave to air dry. Never store the Raiser Lifting Cushion when it is wet or damp. Do not leave in bright sun light. Do not dry using hot air.

Disinfection

The Raiser Lifting Cushion should be fully inflated and pre-cleaned by washing with detergent and water, thoroughly rinsed and then disinfected using a 1:10 solution of household liquid bleach and water (1 part bleach to 10 parts cold water). Leave the solution on the Raiser Lifting Cushion for approximately 10 minutes before thoroughly rinsing off with clean cold water.

WARNING: Never mix bleach with any other cleaning product as doing so can result in the formation of harmful acids and poisonous gases which can cause serious breathing problems.

Maintenance

Other than routine cleaning and disinfecting, the Raiser Lifting Cushion is maintenance free.

Winncare recommends that your Lifting Cushion is inspected annually by either your supplier or other suitably qualified person. If required, Winncare can provide the above inspection within an annual service contract (UK only). Please contact our Customer Service Department for further details on Freephone 0800 2800 485.

Transportation / Storage

Disconnect the Airflo 12 compressor from the Raiser Lifting Cushion before transporting so as to avoid accidental inflation of the cushion.

Ensure that the Raiser Lifting Cushion is clean and thoroughly dry before storing. Failure to thoroughly dry the cushion before storage may result in a build-up of mould on the surface of the product leading to a weakening of the fabric and consequential invalidation of the product warranty. Store in a dry environment.

To maintain the Airflo battery when being stored for long periods, put the Airflo on charge for 16 hours every 3 months.

Disposal / Recycling

When the Raiser Lifting Cushion has reached the end of its working life, dispose of it at your local household waste recycling centre (civic amenity site).

When the Airflo has reached the end of its working life, remove the battery for safe disposal in accordance with your local council guidelines, and dispose of the Airflo at your local household waste recycling centre (civic amenity site).
