5 Slings
5.1 Sling Attachment
Read the sling guidelines carefully before using the sling. It is ESSENTIAL
that you fully understand how to attach the sling in the correct way. Always
check the sling for signs of wear or damage before use.
Always complete a risk assessment and check the capacity of the sling as
well as the hoist. The lower SWL should be the one adhered to.
Never use a loop sling on the Manual Cradle (4.2) or the Powered Cradle
(4.3). These are designed for Clip Slings Only.
Never use a Clip sling on the Standard 2 point Spreader Bar. These are designed for approved Loop
Slings Only
5.1.1 LOOP SLINGS
Attach the loop over the hook, taking care that the same length of loop is attached on either side.
Ensure thee sling is past the safety spring disc and the spring disc is clicked in place to prevent
the sling coming off.
Ensure both leg and shoulder loops are attached (min of 4 loops on any sling).
Always refer to the sling user guide.
Always check the weight capacity of the sling and ensure it is not more than the OT200.
5.1.2 CLIP SLINGS (depends on clip sling used please refer to sling instructions)
Hold on to the strip on the clip with one hand and pull the large hole in the clip over the
attachment point. Check whether the belt on which the sling is hanging is not turned or twisted.
Take the belt under the clip and pull this down until the clip falls into the secure position.
The attachment point is now locked into the hole in the top side of the clip.
Attach all clips in the same way before lifting.
6 Using the OT200 Ceiling Hoist
Check the OT200 on the following points before use:
Check that status of the batteries on the cassette´s display
Is the emergency stop de-activated?
Check whether the used sling fits the purpose and the transfer (see
tables page 11 and 12)
Check the condition of the sling and the clips and whether the
whalebones are placed
Carefully place the sling on the spreader bar
Is the caretaker able and comfortable to be lifted?
The cassette will automatically activate when any button on the hand-held control is pushed
When using a standard sling, always place the arms of the caretaker inside the sling on the
caretakers’ lap.
When using a toilet sling always make sure the arms of the caretaker are outside the sling so that
the upper slips with clips pass beneath the arms!
Always work in a neat and clean environment.
The OT200 is now ready to be used according to the instructions in this manual.
Always make clear to the caretaker what is happening with every step of the process!
Pay attention to the danger of getting entangled between the hinging points of the hanger bar.
