SECTION 3—USING THE STANDARD STYLE SLING
11
Attaching the Standard Style Sling to the Patient Lift
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 3.4.
1. The D-ring (strap) or O-ring (chain) is the suggested location to attach the swivel bar,
however, by changing to different links or adjusting the strap, you can reposition the
patient into a reclining or more upright position.
WARNING
When changing to different lengths, DO NOT disconnect the O-rings of the chains
from the swivel bar. Position BOTH the O-rings and additional chain link onto the
hooks of the swivel bar.
NOTE: The straps can be simply adjusted to achieve the same effect.
2. With the sling positioned under the patient and the support bars in place, move the
lift into position to attach the sling hardware to the swivel bar.
3. Refer to Lifting the Patient in the Patient Lift Owner’s Manual.
