The black and white carry bar are both attached to the Quick Release Hook (QRS) in the same fashion as described above, see
images below for reference.
5.2
Slings
The way the sling is attached to the carry bar needs to be assessed on individual basis and documented in
the individual’s care
plan. Furthermore, the person attaching the sling to the carry bar should reference the user manual for the specific sling in use
as attachment points vary depending on the application and type.
Only after the correct attachment is fully understood should the sling loops be fitted onto the carry bar in the correct order.
Sling loops should be attached as follows:
1.
Put the required sling loop onto your finger and thumb and then using the same finger or thumb, pull back the spring
locking mechanism on the correct hook on the correct side of the carry bar (Figure 18).
2.
Slide the sling loop from your finger and thumb over the edge of the hook (Figure 19 and 20).
3.
After positioning the loop below the locking mechanism (Figure 21) release the spring locking mechanism to secure the
sling loop. (Figure 22)
Make sure the required loop(s) are on the correct hooks and are correctly positioned.
