•
The loading capacity is rated to allow a heavy patient lying in the bed to sit up by them-
selves using their own strength.
•
Do not use the patient lifting pole as a lifting mechanism for the patient.
•
Do not allow a heavy patient to “hang” with his/her entire weight on the patient lifting pole
(e.g. when getting out of bed).
A patient lifting pole [D] attached to the bed makes it easier for the resident to get into/out of
bed.

Lifting Pole Adapter Sleeves

base. There is a notch [A] on the surface of the lifting pole adapter that, together with the pin
[B], restricts the slewing range [C] of the patient lifting pole. The lifting pole should be fitted
to the side of the bed that the resident gets in and out of bed.

Insert the lifting pole in the sleeve. The metal pin
[B]on the pole must be located in the
notch [A]in the retainer sleeve.
