HoverSling
®
Transfer & Lift Device�
Whatever the patient is lying on to keep the hospital bed clean may be placed on top of the
HoverSling to help keep it clean� If desired, the protector sheet or disposable sheet may be
used to cover the transfer mattress (available for separate purchase)� This sheet may also be
placed under the transfer mattress, when log rolling the patient, to prevent the bottom of the
HoverSling from coming in contact with the hospital bed sheets�
If the HoverSling is used on an isolation patient, the hospital should employ the same
protocols/procedures it utilizes for the bed mattress and/or for the linen in that
patient room�
Prior to use, a visual inspection should be performed on the HoverTech International
Air Supply to insure the power cord is not frayed or nicked, and that there is no visual
damage that would render the Air Supply unusable�
The HoverSling should have all of its safety straps, sling support straps, and
handles (reference Page 6 of the manual for all appropriate parts)� There should be
no tears or holes�
If any damage is found that would cause the HoverSling not to function as intended,
the HoverSling should be removed from use�
If any damage is found that would cause the Air Supply not to function as intended,
the Air Supply should be removed from use and returned to HoverTech International
for repair (see page 36 Returns and Repairs)�
The Air Supply has air filters on either side of the motor� These filters can be accessed
by removing the small screws holding the filter cover in place� Filters should be
cleaned by holding under warm running water� Allow to air dry� As preventive
maintenance, filter cleaning should be performed monthly�
