OPERATING MANUAL
AIR PRO ELITE ALTERNATING PRESSURE PAD & PUMP

PAD SYSTEM

Contains 2 sets of air cells, which alternately are inflated and deflated every two and half minutes. To minimize movement, full inflation of one set of cells occurs before the large alternate set is deflated. Large cell interlocking support pattern permits high volume of air exchange and maximum vertical excursion between relief and support modes.

Electronically welded heavy gauge premium vinyl, which is reusable, resists tearing and accidental punctures.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

1. - Place the pump on a flat surface, or set pump on end of bed with attached hook.
2. - Place the pad on the top of bed mattress. Note: Foot End
3. - Connect air hoses to pump and pad. Hose ends with fittings go on pad.
4. - Check and ensure the air hoses are not kinked or tucked under mattress.
5. - Plug the power cord into outlet, switch on pump. The green switch will light when unit is operating.
