GH Lifting hanger
Caution!
Be careful when attaching the lifting sling on the hooks. Check that the
straps have been pulled completely through the rubber safety catch
(A) and into place in the lifting hanger’s hooks. When pressing the up
button to lift the user, check again that all the straps remain correctly
placed in the lifting hanger’s hooks
(ig. 1a and ig. 1b).

Lifting to and from a seated position
When lifting a user from e.g. a wheelchair, move the GH1 F towards the per-
son to be lifted. The lifting hanger should be at the same height as the user’s
chest and should not be moved further in over the user than to approximately
mid-thigh position.
Place the lifting hanger parallel to the user’s shoulders.
Place the lifting sling behind the user’s back between the back of the chair
and the user’s back. The center marks of the lifting sling should follow the
user’s spine.
Lead the leg straps along the outer sides of the user’s shins and beneath
the thighs between the hollow of the knees and the hip joints. Cross the leg
straps in front of the user.
All four lifting straps are now ready to be attached. The lifting sling can now
be mounted on the lifting hanger.
Lifting to and from lying position in bed
Bring the lifting hanger over the centre of the person to be lifted. Place the
lifting hanger parallel to the user’s shoulders.
Turn the user onto his or her side. The present sling should be placed so that
its top is at the same height as the top of the user’s head. Now position the
sling over the user so that the center marks follow the user’s spine. Turn the
user onto his or her back and pull out the remaining part of the lifting sling.
Place the leg straps beneath the user’s thighs and cross them. All four lifting
straps are now ready to be attached and the lifting sling can now be mounted
on the lifting hanger. It is an advantage to elevate the head of the bed so that
the user is sitting up.
For further information, please refer to the user manual for the lifting sling in
question.
