Adjust the height of the Arc-Rest to be as low as
possible, making allowances for obstructions, e.g.
Chair arms etc.
Approach the patient from the front with the lift;
stop before the Proactive Pad is in contact with the
patient. (See Fig. 36).
Adjust the Proactive Pad height (if necessary) - an
approximate guide is to align the top of the
Proactive Pad just below the patient’s patella.
(See Fig. 28).
Carefully push the lift in closer to make full lower
leg contact with the Proactive Pad, then apply the
chassis brakes.
Identify the cord attachment loop on each side of
the sling body and attach the cords (Loop Lock
method as previously shown in Fig. 18). When both
cords are attached correctly adjust both cords
equally so that the slack is taken up, but does not
pull the patient forward.
Allow the patient to hold the handgrips with their
arms resting on the Arc-Rest.
Slacken the adjustment on each body support strap
(if required), enough to be able to connect the
attachment clips to the lugs on the outer sides of the
Arc-Rest (See Fig. 38).
When the patient is ready, operate the lift button on
the handset or dual control to raise the patient, at the
same time encourage him/her to actively stand
(See Fig. 39).

If required, the chassis legs may be
opened to go around the chair, by
operating the appropriate button on the
hand control or dual control on the lift.
Note:
If the handset button or dual control
button is released during any function,
powered motion will stop immediately.
Note:
Warning:
Lock the adjustment cords
down into the cord retaining cleats. (See
Fig. 37).
