Bring lift into position and attach both shoulder straps
securely on to the spreader bar of the lift.
If using a neck roll; secure by feeding the strap through
the shoulder loop of the sling then loop back through
the plastic slider. Adjust strap to suit, by passing through
the slider.
Sling Application Continued:

Attach inner leg strap to spreader bar of the lift
(crossing if preferred) then attach outer leg straps.
Check the inner leg strap and adjust the slider to ensure
equal tension with the outer leg loop.
We would advise a controlled transfer a few inches off
the bed to check sling position and patient comfort
before continuing with full transfer.
7
In a controlled way, raise the lift until the sling takes the
full weight of the patient. Before moving, reassess the
patient’s position and check for comfort.
Lower back to the bed to make any adjustments before
continuing with the transfer.
