WARNING!
-The Invacare patient lift is NOT a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one resting surface to
another (such as a bed to a wheelchair).
-DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse, or medical assistant. Thoroughly read
the instructions in this user manual, observe a trained team of experts perform the lifting procedures, and then perform
the entire lift procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.
-Use common sense in all lifts. Special care MUST BE taken with people with disabilities who cannot cooperate while
being lifted.
-Invacare slings and patient lift accessories are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with Invacare
patient lifts. Slings and accessories designed by other manufacturers are not to be utilized as a component of
the Invacare patient lift system.
-If the patient lift is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity, and/or becomes wet
prior to use, ensure the handgrips do not twist on the patient lift handle; otherwise, damage or injury may occur.
