GH Lifting hanger

Caution!

Be careful when attaching the lifting sling on the hooks. Check that the

straps have been pulled completely through the rubber safety catch

(A) and into place in the lifting hanger’s hooks. When pressing the up

button to lift the user, check again that all the straps remain correctly

placed in the lifting hanger’s hooks (g. 1a and g. 1b).

Fig. 1a Fig. 1b

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 center 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

center 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.
