b) Positioning LIFTEM
•
Move the receiving device (chair, commode, and wheelchair) into
place at the side of the bed.
•
Move LIFTEM, in the fully retracted position, into the room.
Position LIFTEM in the appropriate location around the bed. The
MAST/BOOM should be in the center position and with the
LIFTING BAR attached to the BOOM.
•
Raise the BOOM to the horizontal position by pressing the BOOM -
UP button.
•
Move LIFTEM so that one of the legs is inside the wheel or leg of
the bed. (Figure 5)
•
Ensure the LIFTING BAR is secured to the proper LIFTING
POINT on the BOOM and ELEVATED, so that it does not interfere
with the patient.
•
LOCK THE REAR WHEELS by pressing down on the caster lock
tabs.
•
Locate the receiving device next to the bed and position it so that the
LIFTEM LEGS can be OPEN AND EXTENDED.
•
SPREAD the LEGS to the maximum angle as shown in Figure 3.
This is accomplished by pressing the LEG SPREAD - OPEN button
(Figure 4). Both LEGS will rotate to the open position.
•
After the LEGS are fully spread, EXTEND them by pressing the
LEG EXTEND - OUT button (Figure 4). Both LEGS will extend at
the same time. Continue to keep the button pressed until the LEGS
are fully extended (Figure 3).
•
Activate the BOOM ROTATE SWITCHES (Right/Left) and
determine that the available swing will provide easy movement from
one position to another (Figure 5).
Note:
The BOOM will only
rotate within the distance between each EXTENDED LEG.
•
Make the final adjustment of the receiver so that the lift and transfer
is within the range of motion of the MAST/BOOM assembly.
Safety Precautions:
1)
LEGS must be fully spread and extended to prevent LIFTEM from tipping to
front or back or to either side.
2)
BOOM will not rotate unless LEGS are fully spread and extended.
3)
Keep hands free of BASE while extending and expanding LEGS.
