Take the longer of the two straps, remove the male buckle taking care to note the
correct method for reattachment, then loop the longer strap around the longer
horizontal crossbar situated in the centre of the bed frame and pull tight (see fig. 2).

Reattach the male buckle to the longer of the straps and feed the buckle and strap
underneath the base of the bed (see fig. 3).

Move the Bed Transfer Aid up and down the bed to find the best position for the
user to safely lift themselves.

Ensure that the frame of the Bed Transfer Aid is square to the side of the bed and
that both of the black feet at the base of the unit are touching the side of the bed.
9.
Clip the two buckles together and tighten the strap ensuring the Bed Transfer Aid
is secure in its position and the buckle is clipped securely. Tuck away any excess
strap to avoid trips.
10.
Replace the mattress ensuring that the Bed Transfer Aid handle is pointing
upwards and the unit is in the optimum position to suit the client’s needs.

If required a second strap set can be fitted (VS247).
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (VY428 & VY438)
Height of the handle on the Bed Transfer Aid can be adjusted to suit the client’s
requirements. To adjust the handle simply remove the two grey e-clips from the base of the
handle and lift the required height ensuring that you do not exceed the last pre-punched
hole on the base of the frame.
Once the desired height is achieved, re-insert the e-clips into the pre-punched holes,
ensuring that both clips pass completely through the tube frame, the inner tube and out the
other side and are in place securely as shown below.
CORRECT
INCORRECT
Check that the unit is properly adjusted by pulling the handles upwards, if there is no
movement, the height adjustment has been carried out correctly.
