Operating Instructions (continued…)
6.2 Standing a user who requires assistance with
the Freeway Ladder Belt
The ladder belt is connected to the disc
attachment on one side of the raiser. The sleeve
of the ladder belt is then placed behind the
user’s bottom.
The caregiver can encourage/assist the user to
stand themselves by pulling on the opposite
side of the ladder belt.
The user must have the ability to stand by themselves. The belt is a
support aid.
When the user is in a standing position, the
ladder belt can then be attached to the second
disc attachment.
Two caregivers can provide assistance when the
user needs more help with standing up.
The caregiver must always counterbalance the raiser
during the standing /sitting process.
This can be done by placing one foot on the back of the
footplate, holding the top of the unit steady with one hand or
both options together.
