To avoid injury, never
operate the E-Pacer
without the back belt in place. Always
ensure that both release tabs on all
buckles are fully latched before initiating
a lift or transfer.
The E-Pacer’s body support system includes
the body support pads, patient hand
grips, ring clips, and the back belt and
buckle (see fi gure 7a). Rifton also offers
an alternative back belt with a clip at both
ends for easy removal and sanitation (see
fi gure 7c).
The back belt has a dual action safety
buckle to prevent accidental release. Press
the two release tabs simultaneously to
release (see fi gure 7b).
If your E-Pacer is equipped with a
removable back belt, fi rst clip the non-
adjustable end of the back belt into the
buckle on the client’s right, with the silver
slider facing out. Then clip the adjustable
end of the strap on the left to secure client
(see fi gure 7c).
The following can also be attached to the
body support system, depending on how
the E-Pacer is to be used:
• Thigh straps (see fi gure 16a, and p. 21
for use)
• Pelvic support (see fi gure 16b and 16c,
and p. 22 for use)
• Hip positioner (see fi gure 16d)
• Forearm supports (see pp. 17 – 18)
• Arm platforms (see pp. 18 – 19)
