4. Operating Instructions
To use the Homecraft Inflatable Ring Cushion:

- Ensure the ring opening is positioned to relieve pressure from the coccyx or other sensitive areas.

- Adjust your position as needed for maximum comfort and pressure relief.
- If the cushion feels too firm or too soft, adjust the air pressure by partially deflating or adding more air as described in the Setup Instructions.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your cushion:
- Cleaning: Wipe the cushion surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the rubber. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry completely before storage or reuse.
- Storage: Store the cushion in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and sharp objects. For long-term storage, the cushion can be partially deflated to save space.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the cushion for any signs of wear, punctures, or damage. Discontinue use if damage is found to prevent injury or further product degradation.
