Step Two: Apply the Cuff

Position the cuff on either the knee or elbow with the quick disconnect valve pointing upwards. (See figure 1).

Place the cooler on a stable surface, the base of the cooler should be level with the cuff. Plug the cooler into a power supply and turn on by connecting the cord to the lid.
