Turning the lifter should be carried out by two persons, otherwise, stand

alongside the lter and push on the side of the mast thereby minimising the

centre of rotation. It is a good idea to make the heaviest point of the lifter the

centre of rotation. If there is limited space, you can use your foot to push on

the chassis of the lifter in the direction you wish to turn.

Fittingtheliftingsling

Hook the top set of straps (from the back) to the hooks facing the user. Hook

the lower set of straps (from the legs) to the hooks facing away from the user.

Important!

Be careful when applying the lifting sling. Check that the straps have been

pulled completely through the rubber safety catch and into place in the lifting

hanger’s hooks before starting lifting the user.

Fromachair,wheelchairorothersittingpositions

Place lifting sling behind user’s back e.g. between the back of the chair and

the user’s back.

The centre band of the lifting sling should follow the user’s spine. As for the

slings type Active the strap showing the size of the sling should be opposite

the spine. Bring the leg straps along the outer thigh and then under the thigh

between the back of the knee and the hip.

Now cross the leg straps in front of the user.

All four straps are now ready to be mounted onto the lifting hanger.

Lyingpositioninbed,onamattressorontheoor

Turn the user on his side. Place the high back sling so that its upper edge is

ush with the top of the user’s head. Put the sling on the user so that the cen-

tre band follows the spine. Turn the user on his back and pull the sling out.

Bring the leg straps under the thigh and cross them over.

All four straps are now ready to be mounted onto the lifting hanger.

If in doubt about how to use the sling, please contact your supplier.

Guldmann cannot be held responsible for any faults or accidents that may

occur due to incorrect positioning of the lifting hanger, or for reasons of inade-

quate attention paid by helpers or the user.
