Always check to ensure that the hoist is correctly positioned
directly above the person to be lifted.
Check to ensure that the carry bar has no cuts, dents or sharp
edges that may come in contact with the straps of the sling and
cause damage to them. Report any concerns to your local
authorised representative.
Step 4. Attach the straps of the sling to the hooks of the carry bar. The straps
on each side of the sling are generally attached to the corresponding
side of the carry bar. Be sure to double check to ensure that the straps
are properly attached to the carry bar, and that the individual being
lifted is properly positioned in the sling prior to lifting.
Prior to lifting an individual make sure that the straps of the sling
are securely placed on the hooks of the carry bar.
Step 5. The individual may now be raised using the UP button on the hand
control. While lifting is in progress the height required in order for the
transfer to be completed safely should be closely observed. Ensure
that the individual being lifted will not be injured by any obstructions
during the initial lifting.
Always use caution when lowering/raising an individual who is in
the sling of the hoist. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions
that may cause injury to the individual, or damage to the hoist.
Step 6. Once at the correct height the individual can be moved to the desired
location. Refer to the sections already described in this manual on
how to do so.
Step 7. Once at the desired location the individual in the sling can be
lowered/raised to the correct height in order to complete the transfer.
On completion of lowering/raising ensure that the individual is
properly positioned and safely supported prior to removing the straps
of the hoist from the carry bar.
Prior to removing the straps of the sling from the carry bar be
sure to check that the individual being lifted is securely
supported in the final desired position.
