Before a patient is lifted, it is essential that all the
cross straps are locked into the clamps and
positioned correctly as shown in Fig. 49, and that
all the suspension straps are securely attached to
the correct support hooks on the stretcher frame.
Bring the lift towards the bed and center the
stretcher frame over the patient, so that the
suspension straps can be securely attached over
the hooks, as shown on the hook icon label in
Fig. 56.
The strap or scoop stretcher should hang
symmetrically from the stretcher frame.
Once the strap stretcher is connected, operate it
to lift the patient clear of the bed. Then rotate the
stretcher frame until the patient’s feet are close to
the mast. In this position, the complete unit may
be moved through wide doorways. Otherwise,
leave the stretcher at 90º to the chassis legs. In
this position the lift and patient can be moved
through a doorway sideways.

Individual patient support cross straps can be
loosened and removed for access to any part of
the patient.
When the patient is returned and lowered onto
the bed, the strap stretcher can be removed once
it has been disconnected from the stretcher
frame. To do this, loosen all the clamps on one
side section and gently pull each strap through
under the patient. Disconnect and remove the
frame and store carefully for future use.
WARNING: Especially with obese patients, or
under buttocks, take care not to trap any skin
while feeding the strap under the patient.
Continue until all the straps are under the patient
and through the clamps. Press each clasp fully
down (see Fig. 43 and 46) to ensure that each
strap is pulled tight and locked into position.
All cross straps must enter directly into the
clamps, and must not be passed around the side
section (see Fig. 43).
Check that both end tubes are fully inserted into
each side section (with the correct matching
arrow labels).
All these advices must be followed to avoid
injuries.
CAUTION: Always check that all the stretcher
suspension straps are in position before and
during the lifting cycle, and in tension as the
patient’s weight is gradually taken up.
WARNING: It is essential to keep the patient at
approximately the height of the bed to ensure
stability of the unit and to maintain patient/
attendant contact.
When lowering the strap stretcher frame, ensure
that both the patient’s or attendant’s legs and
feet are clear of the moving mast in order to
avoid injuries and maintain the unit’s stability.
CAUTION: To ensure that the patient is securely
supported, do not remove too many straps at one
time.
