that are deemed unstable, unless using in conjunction with a spinal
board (follow your state’s protocol regarding use of spinal boards)
INTENDED CARE SETTINGS

PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure patient safety straps are secured before moving.
• Never use patient safety straps to pull the HoverJack, as they may tear.
• Move the HoverJack using the transport handles located along the top
perimeter.
• When moving a patient on the inflated HoverJack, use caution and
move slowly.
• Additional caregivers are recommended when moving a patient over
250 lbs/113 kg.
• Never attempt to move a patient on an un-inflated HoverJack.

Setting
Standby (Amber LED)
ADJUSTABLE: For use with HoverTech air-assisted positioning
devices. There are four dierent settings. Each press of the
button increases the air pressure and rate of inflation. The Green
Flashing LED will indicate the inflation speed by the number of
flashes (i.e. two flashes equals the second inflation speed).
All of the settings in the ADJUSTABLE range are substantially
lower than the HoverMatt and HoverJack settings. The
ADJUSTABLE function is not to be used for transferring.
The ADJUSTABLE setting is a safety feature that can be used
to ensure the patient is centered on HoverTech air-assisted
devices and to gradually accustom a patient who is timid or in
pain to both the sound and functionality of the inflated devices.
