Attaching and Adjusting the Grab Handle
8.6 Attaching and Adjusting the Grab Handle
Risk of Injury
Check the grab handle and belt regularly for damage. Replace damaged grab handles or
belts immediately.
We recommend that the triangular grab handle is replaced after a maximum of five years.
Please also refer to the detailed instruction manual supplied with every grab handle.
A grab handle can be attached to the patient lifting pole. The patient can use this grab handle to sit
up and readjust his/her position.
The grab handle can be hooked over the trapeze bars or patient lifting pole when not in use.
Risk of Injury
Always ensure that when the grab handle is hung over the end of the patient lifting pole, the grab
handle cannot accidentally fall off.
Attach the grab handle with the
hand loop to the patient lifting pole.
The integrated anti-slip fitting must
be secured properly between the
two limit points of the patient lifting
pole.
To Lengthen: Draw the strap
out through the buckle and pull
the triangular grab handle
downwards.
To Shorten: Draw the strap out
through the buckle and pull the
triangular grab handle upwards.
Make sure when lengthening the
strap that the end of the strap pro-
jects at least 3 cm beyond the top of
the buckle.
