LOADING IN A RECUMBENT POSITION
1. Turn the user to face you and hold the
sling sideways with the smooth side
facing the user. Gather the sling
halfway and place behind the user's
back with the smooth side up.
2. Turn the user on his/her back and pull
the gathered material towards you. The
sling should now be flat and centered
underneath the user.
3. Bring the leg bands underneath the
thighs to achieve the desired
positioning of the legs.
4. Bring the carry bar down to above the
chest and attach each strap to the
closest hook.
5. Position the body by choosing the
appropriate loops. As you begin lifting,
ensure that all straps are securely
attached and that the user's head is
away from the carry bar. If necessary,
re-adjust the leg bands to lie flat under
the thighs.
6. Lift the user.
If the user is in bed, make sure the surface is flat and adjusted to a comfortable working height.
