ADJUSTING THE GAS LIFTING MECHANISM
Turn the cushion on its side and reach underneath the rear of the cushion. You will see a bar that

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Position the Lift Assist Cushion onto your chair ensuring the surface area is level and free from any
obstructions that may compromise the stability of the product. The lift assist cushion should be used
on a chair with arms. The cushioned area should ideally overhang the front of the chair. When ready
to sit down ensure your weight is distributed evenly on the flat part of the top of the cushion. The
lift assist cushion will gently ease you down slowly into your chair.
If the cushion does not go down when you sit in it then you will need to adjust the gas lift setting
underneath the cushion area.
When using the lift assist cushion to sit up and down the user should have both hands on the arms
of the chair and their feet flat on the floor at shoulder width apart. When rising out of a chair the
user should lean slightly forward and push off with the arms and legs. The lift assist cushion will
gently lift the user out of the chair (See Fig. 4).
