Transferring the Resident
• WARNING: After elevating the resident a few inches above stationary object, ensure the sling
and all attachments are secure and properly connected. If any attachments are not properly in place,
lower the resident back onto the stationary object and correct this problem.
• WARNING: Before lowering the resident into wheelchair, be sure wheel locks are in a locked position.
• WARNING: Before transferring, ensure the resident’s weight does not exceed the 450 lb. weight
capacity of the resident lift.
• WARNING: Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced to
ensure it is properly attached before the resident is lifted from the bed or chair.
• WARNING: Ensure mast is securely fastened for safety. All resident lift nuts, bolts and other
attachments must be checked at least every six months in conjunction with periodic maintenance.
Performing Maintenance

mounting brackets every three months. Replace worn out parts as necessary. Inspect these parts

Electrical & Grounding
• WARNING: GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The included battery charger should always be properly grounded to ensure resident and assistant
safety. For this reason, this device is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug to prevent possible
shock hazards.

two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the customer’s responsibility to have the receptacle
replaced by a qualified electrician with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and all local codes. If you must use an extension cord, use ONLY a
three-wire extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected,
and verify the extension cord is permitted in your community.
• WARNING: RED warning tags are located on the device. DO NOT remove these tags. Carefully
read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or operating your resident lift.
