in a front seat, it may be helpful to recline the
seat once all straps, including shoulder straps, are
attached to EZ Out.) Carefully rotate patient
until their body is parallel with the EZ Out
(Figure 12).
From supine position: Raise patient to the point
where the hips, shoulders and torso are no longer
in contact with the car seat. If needed, rotate the
patient until their body is parallel with the EZ
Out (Figure 12).
2) When raising the lift boom, be sure the boom
does not come in contact with the car frame or
interior ceiling. Prior to extracting the patient
from the vehicle, pay close attention to the
height of the patient’s head and verify that their
head is low enough to clear the height of the door
frame when extracting.
3) Adjust the patient’s legs so they are clear from
obstructions when wheeling the lift away from
the vehicle.
Transfer patient to wheelchair/stretcher
1) Be aware of any cracks, obstructions, or uneven
surfaces when maneuvering the lift. Wheel the
7
buttons to lower or raise the cable, so it is low
enough to clip to the center post (D) of the sling.
5) Clip the cable to the hole in the center of the
post (D). The end of the lift boom should be
positioned over the patient’s waist area.
6) Hook the metal shoulder clips onto the end of
the boom (Figure 10), and tighten shoulder straps
(A) as necessary. Make sure the waist and leg
buckles have been inserted over the post (D), the
cable clip is securely fastened to the center post
(D), and the shoulder strap clips are secure
around the boom end notch. Do not allow the
patient to hold onto the cable or shoulder.
Raise patient
1) Using the Up arrow button on the hand control
for either the cable or mast of the lift, depending
on the distance available between the top of
the boom and the car frame, raise the patient
high enough so they can be extracted from the
vehicle (Figure 11).
From seated position: Raise patient to the point
where the hips and thigh regions are no longer
in contact with the car seat. (If patient is located
