To ensure the longevity and safety of your sling, it is important to care for it appropriately.
Regular Care
Every 6 Months
1. Place sling behind user
so that padded underarm
sections are just below
the axilla.
4. Move your lifter into place
so that the user’s feet are
on the foot plate. Attach
the desired loops (or clips)
to the yoke.
6. As the lifter raises, the
user should hold the lifter
grab handles, look
forward and gently lean
into the sling.
5. Once sling is in place,
connect the desired loops
(or clips) to the yoke.
7. To remove the sling, carry
out the fitting procedure
in reverse. ALWAYS peel the
sling away from the user to
avoid skin friction/shear
2. To fit the security belt
fasten the Velcro first.
3. Then close the buckle at
navel level. Ensure the belt
is snugly and securely fitted.
