1.3 Safety Precautions
1.3.1 Assembling the Lift
WARNING
DO NOT overtighten the mounting hardware as this will damage the mounting
brackets.
1.3.2 Operating the Lift
WARNING
DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the patient lift. The weight limitation
for the lift is 400 lbs.
ALWAYS ensure there is an audible click when mounting battery on the battery
charger to confirm proper mounting. Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from moving parts to avoid injury.
Although two assistants are recommended for all lifting preparation and transferring
procedures, our equipment will permit proper operation by one assistant. The use
of one assistant is based on the evaluation of the health care professional for each
individual case.
1.3.3 Using the Slings
WARNING
Use a sling advised
by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the
comfort and safety of the individual being lifted.
DO NOT insert any kind of plastic back incontinence pad or seating cushion between
patient and sling material that may cause the patient to slide out of the sling during
transfer.
