Completing a Training Session 
 

To remove a client from the Sit-to-Stand Trainer, the client should be comfortably 
seated. 

 
With one hand, slowly lift the Petzl lever, while  
the other hand is placing a small amount of 
tension on the free end of the rope. The Petzl 
can then be guided upwards enabling the 
counterweights to be disengaged. 
 
 
Releasing Petzl lever 
 
 
 

Once all the tension is off the rope, the sling rings can be disconnected from the 
carabineer. 
 
Remove the sling from under the client and spray inside surface with disinfectant 
 

Maintenance 

Use disinfectant wipes or spray to clean sling and handlebars after each use. 
 
Sling can be laundered regularly in warm water when soiled. 
 
The metal frame and weight stack should wiped down/dusted regularly.  
 
Inspect brakes regularly to ensure proper function. 
 
Inspect petzl & rope routinely to ensure integrity. 
 
Inspect plasticized wire cable for fraying of plastic coating.   If plastic coating is 
chipped or frayed, inspect underlying metal cable for integrity.
