1) The spreader must always be mounted opposite the strap.
2) Only one spreader bar must be mounted on the lift cassette.
3) Ergolet takes no responsibility for faults or accidents that arise due to
the use of spreader bar from other manufacturers. If in doubt contact your
dealer or Ergolet.

Luna spreader bars are designed for use with Ergolet lifting slings. Ergolet lifting slings have 2-6
lifting straps and are designed for lifting hooks larger than ø8mm. Use of non-authorised slings
will rend Ergolet’s responsibility for faul
ts and accidents null and void.
Ergolet can assist in choosing slings and also offer training sessions in transfer techniques and
the correct use of slings.
Ergolet accepts no responsibility if slings are placed incorrectly, it is always the onus of the
carer/helper to ensure that the sling is correct for the situation needs and is correctly mounted.
( 1 ) The sling strap is placed over the hook in its open
position. (Fig. 1.8A)
(2) The strap is pulled downwards so that the hook closes.
(Fig. 1.8B)
The design of the lifting hook is such that the weight of the
client/user will help close the hook.
To release the strap after lifting simply pull upwards to open
the hook.
Risk of finger entrapment -
ensure that client’s
fingers cannot get trapped.
