Using the Belt Assemblies
Each belt assembly includes two straps; the longer strap
has a seatbelt style
buckle
with a snap hook at the end,
the shorter strap has a seatbelt style
clasp
with a snap
hook at the end. Each of the two straps form a single belt
assembly. The two belt assemblies are identical,
(either
assembly can be used as a chest belt or a waist belt).
In use, they are secured to the FTS
’s upper and lower belt
anchor points, (located on the FTS
’s main column), using the snap hooks at the end of each
belt assembly. The upper belt assembly and anchor points can be used as a chest belt and
the lower belt assembly and anchor points can be used as a waist belt.
Depending on the circumstances, you may choose to use the waist belt
only. The anchor points and belt assemblies also allow for additional configurations, (such as
crossing the chest of the person being lifted by attaching one belt assembly to the upper left and
lower right anchor points and the second belt assembly to the upper right and lower left anchor
points).
Once the patient is securely buckled to the lift using the belt assemblies,
pull on each buckles’ strap to ensure both belts are snug and secure
before
pressing the up button
on the wired remote. As the patient is being lifted, have them gradually move their legs inward,
then ensure their feet are properly positioned
before
they stand up from the FTS
’s seat, (as the
would from any chair).
When lifting a person with little-to-no lower body strength, (such as a
paraplegic), the belts will hold the person securely in place and their legs will naturally move inward
towards the FTS
as they’re being lifted.
A person properly secured to the FTS using the two belt
assemblies cannot fall off the FTS
’s seat!
