When lifting from the bed, some caregivers prefer to
connect the leg pieces first. This particularly applies to
residents’ with large thighs. In that case, raise the hip and
knee into maximum flexion and attach the leg strap clips.
Tilt the spreader bar towards the shoulders for connection.
(See Fig. 5)
Lift the resident using the hand control and adjust resident
to a comfortable position before the transfer. The specially
designed sling with head support, enables one person to
carry out a complete lifting function without additional
help.
When returning to a bed, make sure the lift is positioned
perpendicular to the bed.

To position the resident over the bed, use the lift handles, do
NOT pull the sling. The resident suspended in sling should
always remain in the centre of gravity.
Use the hand control to lower the resident.
