To Lift from the Floor
(7 Steps)
1 Put the sling around the resident by using the rolling or
sitting up method. Depending on circumstances, space and/
or position of resident etc. approach with the open part of
the chassis. Open the chassis legs if necessary.
(See Fig. 1)
2 The resident’s head and shoulders could be resting on
pillows for comfort. This is not a necessity when connecting
the sling to a spreader bar.
3 With the open part of the spreader bar directed down
towards the resident’s shoulders, attach the shoulder strap
clips.
(See Fig. 2)
Once attached, raise the hip and knee into maximum flexion
and push down on the positioning handle in order to connect
the leg strap clips. This will raise the resident’s head and
shoulders slightly.
(See Fig. 3)

WARNING
To avoid entrapment of the residents or caregivers
legs or feet, make sure that they are kept clear of all
obstacles.

WARNING
To avoid the resident falling, make sure that
sling clips or loops are securely attached before
as well as during the lifting initiation.
CAUTION
Make sure that the sling is not put around or
caught under the legs of the Maxi Twin. This
might damage the spreader bar during the
lifting.
