Belting Technique of Transfer Procedure with the
Penner Swivel Lift
All residents must always be securely belted at the waist when using the
Penner Swivel Lift system.
For residents who are unable to support themselves in an upright position,
Penner supplies a second (chest) belt which allows you to secure the
resident in an upright position as shown in Figure 5.
1. Route the belt(s) through the slots of the chair as shown in Figure 5 prior to
placing the resident into the chair. If a chest belt is needed for the resident,
you have the choice of the upper or lower chest belt slots.
2. Ensure that the belt is routed through the loose buckle end as shown in
Figure 6. If routed the opposite way, the belt will slip.
3. Transfer the resident into the Penner Swivel Lift using proper nursing
transfer techniques. Bring the seat belt around the resident, to the D-ring
connector.
4. Connect the belt to the D-ring as shown at the right.
a) Use the technique as shown at the right.
WARNING
Failure to secure the resident properly with the seat belt and chest belt
could result in injury to the resident or operator.
