BM05101 Molift Mover 205 English - Rev. J/ 10/2012
Move the lifter around chair.
If the transfer is from a wheelchair, the brakes
must be locked to prevent the wheelchair
from rolling away.
Raise/lift user above seat height, and perform the
transfer. It is not necessary to lift the person very
high.
Lift and transfer to (wheel)chair
Manoeuvre the lifter so that the user is as far back
in the (wheel)chair as possible.
If the transfer is from a wheelchair, the brakes
must be locked to prevent the wheelchair
from rolling away.
When lowering, you can use the following tech-
niques or a combination of them to position and
get the user seated far back in the chair.
• push gently on the knees
• pull the loop on the back of the sling
• tilt the chair slightly backwards
Lower the user into chair, unhook sling from sus-
pension and remove the lifter.
Removal of sling
Gently pull leg section to the side, out from the us-
er’s thighs. Standing by the side of user, lean her
forward - supporting with one hand. Pull sling up
from behind her back.
Pulling sharply on sling may cause user to fall
forward resulting an injury. Always support
the user by keeping one arm around the user’s
shoulder when fitting or removing the sling
(see illustration).
If the users physique and ability allows it, the
user should be encouraged to take active part
in fitting the sling. The user can lean forward,
lift her tights and help placing the leg section.
Bathing
The procedure for lifting to/from the bath is in prin-
ciple the same as for to/from bed. A special bath-
ing sling is used for this purpose. This sling dries
quickly and may be washed at 85°C.
