these instructions before assembling the lift, or attempting to lift a user
with the device.
• Before attempting to lift any patient, please practice operating the
lift and explain the lift procedures to the patient
• Please provide special assistance under the caretakers’ discretion.
(i.e. patients who are comatose, spastic, agitated, or otherwise
severely handicapped.)
• The patient lift should be used solely for transferring a user/patient
from one utility (beds, chairs, toilets, etc.) to another. The patient lift
should not be used for transporting or moving any patient from one
location to another location.
• During lifting or lowering, whenever possible, always keep the base
of the lift in the widest position.
• The base of the lift should be closed before moving the lift.
• Do not roll casters over any object while the user/patient is in the
sling.
• Do not lock casters during lifting.
• While being lifted in a sling, always keep the user/patient centered
over the base and facing the caregiver operating the lifter.
• Never leave the user/patient unattended during lifting.
