Approach the patient with the lift, ensure that:
• The spreader bar is in reclined position.
• The wide part of the spreader bar is at or just below
shoulder level.
• The spreader bar is close enough to be able to
connect the shoulder strap clips of the sling to the
frame.
Connect the shoulder strap clips, then tilt the frame and
attach the leg sections. If necessary, lower the spreader
bar a little further, being careful not to lower it onto the
patient.
Proceed with the transfer keeping a hand on the
spreader bar to stop excessive swinging and to give a
feeling of added security.
Once the patient has arrived at destination, reposition
the patient according to the destination position.
Lower the patient down onto the new location by making
small adjustments during the descent so that the patient
is always in the best comfortable position.
Once the patient's body weight is fully supported, detach
the leg strap clips, then the shoulder strap clips.
WARNING: Make sure that the sling attachment
clips are correctly attached and remain in tension
as the weight of the patient is gradually taken up.
This will prevent a patient fall.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to pull the lift along the
rail using the hand control cable. This can cause
damage to the cable and eventually jeopardize
the function of the hand control.
WARNING: When using the lowering function be
careful to not hit the patient with the spreader bar
as this could cause an injury.
