FITTING THE GS CUSHION
Place the Cushion on the seat of the wheelchair, (A
solid base of support, like the Jay Adjustable Solid
Seat or Solid Seat Insert is recommended). If using an
adjustable depth back on the wheelchair, like the JAY
3 GS Back, position the back of the Cushion even
with the front of the upright back posts.
If using a fixed depth back, like a JAY® J2 Back or
Jay Care Active™ Back, notch the rear corners of the
base to establish seat depth to within 1" (2.5 cm) from
the back of the knees, (see score lines on base).
This will allow the back of the Cushion to go between
the posts.
Place the individual on the Cushion allowing the
buttocks to sit in the rear, carved-out portion and the
legs to rest comfortably on the raised front portion.
To achieve the lowest average sitting pressures
possible, utilize the GS Pressure Relief Pad.
Additionally, the footrests should be adjusted low
enough to allow the legs to rest firmly on the front
of the Cushion. The Cushion should come within 0 -
1" (0-2.5 cm) of the back of the knee.
Assess the client:
• Are the hips level?
• Are the legs in good position?
• Is the client comfortable?
If the answer to any of these questions is "no," see
the Accessories section in this Owner's Manual.

HOW THE JAY JAY GS CUSHION GROWS
The Jay JAY GS Cushion grows by maintaining the
positional relationship between the user and the cushion.
The Jay JAY GS Cushion shown with other components
of the Growth and Positioning System.
As the client grows, the area under the buttocks
remains roughly the same, while the area under the
legs grows backward. Using the Pre-ischial Shelf
Extender (see diagram on bottom of previous page)
will increase leg support and position the anti-thrust
shelf where needed.
