Operating and Usage

The Wise 8WD159-R-S Replacement Seat Cushion serves as a comfortable seating surface for your marine cooler seat. While there are no complex "operations" for a cushion, proper usage ensures its longevity and comfort.

• Intended Use: This cushion is designed for seating purposes on the specified Wise 50 Quart Swingback Cooler Seat.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly when sitting to prevent undue stress on specific areas of the cushion or its mounting points.
• Environmental Exposure: The cushion is engineered for offshore use and can withstand normal marine environment conditions, including sun, heat, and rain. However, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions without proper care may affect its lifespan.

Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and extend the life of your Wise Replacement Seat Cushion.

Cleaning Instructions:

• Routine Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, wipe the vinyl surface with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry.
• Stubborn Stains: For more stubborn stains, a marine vinyl cleaner specifically designed for boat upholstery can be used. Always follow the cleaner manufacturer's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or solvents, as these can damage the vinyl material and stitching.
• Protection: Consider using a marine vinyl protectant periodically to help guard against UV damage and maintain the suppleness of the vinyl.

Storage:

If the cooler seat is stored for extended periods, especially in harsh weather, covering it or storing it indoors can further protect the cushion from environmental wear.
