Once connected, operate the Lifter to lift the patient
clear of the bed, then either, rotate the stretcher
frame until the patient’s feet are in proximity to the
mast. In this position, the complete unit may be
transported through wide doorways. Alternatively,
leave the patient at 90º to the mast, in this way the
Lifter and patient can be moved through the
doorway sideways.

Warning: Before a patient is lifted, it is
essential that all the cross straps are
locked into the clamps and positioned
correctly as shown in fig. 43, and that all
suspension straps are securely attached to
the correct support hooks on the stretcher
frame.
Bring the Lifter towards the bed and
position the stretcher frame, centrally
over the patient, so that the suspension
straps can be securely attached over the
hooks, indicated with a hook icon label,
(see fig 50).
The strap or scoop stretcher should hang
symmetrically from the stretcher frame.
IMPORTANT: Always check that all the
stretcher suspension straps are fully in
position before and during the
commencement of the lifting cycle, and in
tension as the patient’s weight is
gradually taken up.

Warning: It is essential to keep the
patient at approximately bed height, to
ensure stability and without losing
patient/attendant contact.
When lowering the jib ensure that the
patient’s or attendant’s legs and feet are
well clear of the moving mast.
