8.2.3 Putting the patient/resident down
When you have reached the desired location, you can put the patient/resident e.g. on
a chair or in bed. Proceed in the following manner:
1. Spread the carrier frame if needed up to the maximum possible spread width.
2. Bring the CARLO ALU with the patient/resident over the intended location.
3. If your CARLO ALU is equipped with an EP spreader bar, you can change the
position of the spreader bar if needed to bring the patient from a lying into a
sitting position.
4. Check that the chair or the bed stands safely; activate the brakes of the
wheelchair if required.
5. Lower the lifting arm with the spreader bar until the patient/resident sits safely in
the chairs or lies safely on the bed and the loops of the sling are relieved.
6. Remove the loops or the clips of the sling from the spreader bar.
7. Pull the CARLO ALU away from the patient. Make sure to pull the CARLO ALU
straight backwards to avoid injuring the patient with the spreader bar. If
required, raise the spreader bar to avoid injury of the patient/resident.
8. Put the CARLO ALU at a safe location.
9. Remove the sling from the patient/resident.
Caution:
The CARLO ALU is exclusively fit for indoor use.
Caution:
Do not move the CARLO ALU over sloping or uneven
floors.
Warning:
Make sure that the CARLO ALU is not tilted over 5°
when driving over thresholds or similar. The CARLO
ALU could fall over in this case!
