transferring a patient or resident. Also make sure that both retainer springs are functioning correctly.

Safe Working Loads
Volaro slings have been developed, tested and manufactured to have a safe working load of 1000 lbs. Due
to the variety of resident shapes and dimensions, the appropriate size should be selected to accommodate
specific patients. Care should be taken to ensure that the mechanical lift selected has the capacity to safely
lift the resident.
The Volaro Sling Sizing Chart ( page ? ) is designed only to suggest which resident will safely fit into the
sling based on their size and weight.
NOTE: Lifts/Stands are designed to “ transfer ” a resident, not “ transport ” them.
