Lifting to and from lying position in bed

Place the lifting hanger over the centre of the person to be lifted.

Place the lifting hanger parallel to the users shoulders.

Turn the user onto his or her side. The Basic High sling should be placed so

that its top is at the same height as the top of the users head. Now position

the sling over the user so that the centre band follows the users spine. Turn

the user onto his or her back and pull out the remaining part of the lifting

sling. Place the leg straps beneath the users thighs and cross them. All

four lifting straps are now ready to be attached and the lifting sling can be

mounted on the lifting hanger. It is an advantage to elevate the head of the

bed so that the user is sitting up.

Important!

For further information, please refer to the user manual for the lifting sling in

question.

Only people who have received competent instruction regarding the use of

lifting equipment and tting of slings should use the hoist.

Plan the move. Avoid leaving the user in the lifting sling unattended.

Working with the GH3

The GH3 runs easily in the rail system and does not have any special

requirements for space or power in connection with moving. Attention can

thus be fully focused on the users functional level and the helpers technique.

If the hoist is used correctly, the user should only be lifted to the extent that

she/he is clear of the surface and should be moved at this height.

The hoist lifts quickly and powerfully. Before lifting, check that the user is

completely free of his/her surroundings. The users head, arms, hands and

feet must not be in danger of becoming trapped. Be careful with any tubes

and wires that are attached to the user. The user should not hold the lifting

strap during the moving procedure as there is a risk of crushing between

the strap’s hook and the hoist. Check that the hand control and hand control

cable is free of hanger, patient and other object before the hoist is activated

up or down moved.
