Working with DH 1000
As the DH 1000 does not require any special
space or power consumption and as it is easy
to move around in the rail system, only the
user’s functional level and the carer’s working
technique need to be considered.
Lift the user clear of the surface and continue
transferring at this height.
Fitting the sling
Hook the top set of straps (from the back) to the
hooks facing the user. Hook the lower set of straps
(from the legs) to the hooks facing away from the
user.
From a chair, wheelchair or other sitting positi-
ons
Place lifting sling behind user’s back e.g. between
the back of the chair and the user’s back.
The suspension strap marking the size of the sling,
for instance M, indicates the centre of the sling and
should follow the spine.
The green, blue or red type marking bands run paral-
lel to the spine.
The user should not sit on the sling.
Bring the leg straps along the outer thigh and then
under the thigh between the back of the knee and
the hip.
Now cross the leg straps in front of the user.
All four straps are now ready to be mounted to the lifting hanger.
Lying position in bed, on a mattress or on the floor
Turn the user on his side. Place the high back sling so that its upper edge
is flush with the top of the user’s head. Put the sling on the user so that the
coloured bands run parallel to the spine. Turn the user on his back and pull
the sling out. Bring the leg straps under the thigh and cross them over.
All four straps are now ready to be mounted to the lifting hooks.
If in doubt about how to use the sling, please contact your supplier.

incorrect fitment or assesment of slings.
