Lower the stretcher frame carefully over and just clear of

Rotate the stretcher frame until the patient’s feet are
close to the mast (see Fig. 44). In this position, the
complete unit may be moved through wide doorways.
Otherwise, leave the stretcher perpendicular to chassis
legs. In this position, the lift and patient can be moved
through a doorway sideways.

NOTE: The attachment straps have several
connection loops. Choose whichever loop is
considered the best to enable the patient to lie
in the most comfortable position.
WARNING: It is essential to keep the patient at
approximately the height of the bed to ensure
stability of the unit and to maintain patient/
attendant contact.
When lowering the stretcher frame, ensure
that the patient’s and attendant’s legs and feet
are well clear of the moving mast.
WARNING: Only use soft stretchers that have
all blue colored attachment straps.
Note: The “head end” straps have a black tab
stitched to them that can be used with other
ARJO stretcher frames.
Do not use any other type of soft stretcher
sling with the Maxi Move.
